This is a song about the rare (but more prevalent nowadays) female who used men for money and moved on without regard to ethics or consideration for the man's feelings. Back when this was written, this type of female wasn't the norm, hence the warning about the "maneater." However, during that same time period, MEN who behaved this way WERE the norm, but nobody called them "womaneaters," they were just guys. The only difference was instead of using women for MONEY and moving on, they used women for sex and moved on. They may have been sitting with you, but their eyes were on the door for a girl who was cuter than you that they could dump you for. But there was no need to write a SONG about it because it was very COMMON, and still is. It's just that NOW, more women are using men in return (but in different ways and for different reasons). But the lack of empathy and ethics is still the same either way. You could call the women "gold-diggers," and you could call the men "sex-diggers." They are both wrong.
