Ladies' man loafed about during game (6-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

poodle-faker

'ladies' man' is the definition.

'loafed about during game' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'during' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'game' becomes 'poker' (poker is a kind of game).
'loafed' with letters rearranged gives 'odlefa'.
'odlefa' going inside 'poker' is 'POODLE-FAKER'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
