Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'woman' (adult female) with 'chaser' (one who chases): a person who chases women, i.e. pursues them romantically or sexually. This compositional pattern is straightforward and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Woman chaser paints a simple picture: a chaser running after a woman, like someone chasing what they want. So, it means 'a man who keeps trying to start romantic or sexual relationships with women'.
