What does "lover of ladies" mean?

Question

What does it mean? A playboy? Like a womanizer?
I was watching a video on YouTube where a British man said "he's a lover of ladies" but then goes on to say "he's a very nice guy" and now I'm confused.
He's not a teenager. He's almost 30.
Is it a player, cheater, womanizer, etc.? If not, then what is it?
If "lover of ladies" means a cheater then he won't be calling him a "very nice guy" but I've searched everywhere and didn't find anything to suggest what the meaning is.
This is an old reading but the question still stands. Even if not in a palm reading but if someone uses this phrase, am I supposed to use the pejorative sense?

I interpret it to mean simply "He likes women".  Some men like women some men don't like women, some men manipulate women, some men date a lot of women but don't really like them. Some men like women as friends.
For the benefit of this man's fans he is deliberately using an ambiguous term (as all fortune tellers do). The female listeners will draw their own conclusion.  Because the phrase has been paired with "nice guy", they will probably believe that he enjoys being with women for their company. On the other hand, some women find a man more attractive if he is more 'experienced' than they are. Who knows whether he has lots of lovers? He may be gay.  George Michael for example had a huge female following and he was gay. There is a widely circulated stereotype that attractive women like to have gay male friends.
The point is that only the fans will be interested in this palm-reading and they don't want to hear anything bad about their idol.
