Word for a male that prefers female companions (no slang such as "pimp")

After doing some round-about searching (i.e., searching the wiki archives starting with "friendship"), I believe I found the word I was looking for: heterosocial, meaning prefering non-sexual relations with the opposite sex. Thus the man in question (whose wiki page I'm likely to never come across again) was exclusively heterosocial, ascribing to him a fondness (of a non-sexual nature) of only female acquaintances and who, with a dearth of a heteronormative love life, could be perceived to be homosexual.

For a long time, the standard name for such a person has been lady's man.

lady's man also ladies' man
n.
A man who enjoys and attracts the company of women.
