I have heard it more used as street thieves - as in hold onto your wallet and watch your stuff since there are hoodlums around
can't imagine that men would use it as a complement
and to be a player here is a considered a complement
here there are bragging rights associated with how many women one has
how many children by various women
like - my grandfather had 50 children -- QUE HOMBRE!!!
