'did she love to be surrounded by distracted males?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'love to be surrounded by distracted males?' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'to be surrounded by' indicates putting letters inside.
'distracted' indicates an anagram.
'males' with letters rearranged gives 'salme'.
'o' inserted inside 'salme' is 'SALOME'.
