How it's used
This term carries a strong sense of mockery towards men who believe they can buy affection through excessive spending. It specifically targets the imbalance of the relationship where the man is being exploited for his financial resources. It is rarely used in polite company and is mostly found in casual gossip among friends.
Examples
He is always a sucker for love, but in the end, no one pays him any mind.
Don't be a fool who spends all his money on her, that girl doesn't like you at all.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with simply being generous or romantic. It implies a lack of self-respect and a one-sided dynamic that others find pathetic or foolish.
