 It probably isn't worth your time trying to dissect the exact variations of the way he has hurt other women. He's a player,and this has been told to you by his sister, no less!!! Not an angry disgruntled ex, nor by a jealous suitor. His SISTER has told you this, she is saving you a whole lot of heartbreak.

She is warning you off him because she has seen this before. She is doing you a favor, and you should pay attention! He is going to hurt you if you get too involved with him.
Take care.

a Jack the Lad (British, informal, old-fashioned)
a confident and not very serious young man who behaves as he wants to without thinking about other people. Three children with three different women? Well, he always was a bit of a Jack the Lad.
