What is the female equivalent of a player?

I actually have a close friend who was one (she finally married close to 50, and rather miraculously, managed to get pregnant and have a child in her 50s). She's very attractive and a stand-up comedian by profession so somewhat famous as well.

Yet she loved to date men less than half her age; they looked like boys next to her, while she'd be walking next to them doing things like grabbing their asses.

She'd often date them for around 1-3 weeks, have her sexual fill, and then ditch them. I even saw some of them crying and wondering what they did wrong and felt bad about it. Our friend group calls her a "praying mantis" in Japanese in the sense that a female praying mantis will often bite the heads off of her mates and eat their bodies.

A picture of her (don't think she'd mind if I post it; she's absolutely shameless):

She was 49 years old in that pic but looks so young still. She also acts like a guy at times getting into fistfights and even with men. One time she got really drunk and tried to punch a man and missed while I was trying to stop her and her haymaker landed on my face. That actually hurt a lot and I was dazed! She punches like a guy!

She's also a bit insane. She went to Italy when she was in her 20s with no money to even afford a place to stay but she just charmed and slept with a bunch of Italian men who provided her shelter while she road around a bicycle that one of her suitors gave her across Italy.

Some people might wonder how I could be such close friends with such a woman but as horrible as she is to her unfortunate lovers, she's an extremely fun and caring friend. She's great to her friends, just not great to her dates... similar to guys sometimes who are players.

She's also a prime example I can use for the people on here who think guys and girls can't be close friends if one is attracted to the other. I always found her extremely attractive, not just physically but she's so fun and funny. Yet I wouldn't wish dating her upon my worst enemy and becoming another one of her temporary boy toys, and that's why I never developed feelings towards her of that sort. She's just a friend.

A player not sure why that would be gender exclusive

Some one who goes for what they want. A player there is no gender to the term..
