The term “boy-crazy” is often used to describe girls who are…boy-crazy.
Is there an equivalent to describe the opposite; boys who are “girl-crazy?” (I haven’t heard anyone use that expression.)
What about grown-ups? “Skirt-chaser” is used to describe womanizing men, but what about women who are relationship-obsessed?
How about “Horn dog”?
I like “hot to trot” as a convenient expression, equally applicable to boys, girls, men, women, intersexed, genderqueer, questioning, etc.
I usually hear the term “boy crazy” applied to girls in their early to middle teens. I’ve never heard the expression applied to a woman who is older than that, as far as I can recall. And, at that age, the equivalent term for a girl-crazy boy would probably be “a boy.”
I always interpreted the label boy-crazy as less relationship-oriented and more wants-to-fuck. Maybe relationship-oriented as a means to a peens.
The term you’re looking for is, indeed, girl-crazy. But both terms were used exclusively by, and directed at grade schoolers. You know, the years that most boys/girls think girls/boys are icky.
Cunt-struck.
There is no real precise equivalent. “Boy crazy” is for young girls who are infatuated with one or more boys and talk about them or dwell on them obsessively. It doesn’t necessarily mean that that they want to have immediate sexual relationships with them. They want the relationship.
Young boys are more interested in girls sexually and are (usually) less involved about obsessing on an individual girl for a relationship and more focused on the sexual aspect.

“Negotiations between Labor and Management broke down today with demands seeming to be far apart. Consumers are warned that this may indeed be a long strike. Next up… the five day forecast…”
In grade school boys get called “girl-crazy” just as often and for the same reasons, and with the same classic childhood “proofs”. Rubbing a dandelion under the chin leaves yellow smudges? Girl(or boy)-crazy! Knee-cap is ticklish? Boy(or girl)-crazy!. And the typical response? “Ewww, no! You are!”
And it’s important to note that “boy-crazy” and “girl-crazy” stop being used as teases once the opposite sex stops being “icky”.
I think it also implies a certain innocent “girlishness” about her relationships, even in full-grown adult women. People say Taylor Swift is “boy crazy”. No one says “she like-a the big dick!”
‘Boy-crazy’ is frequently used by some parents to describe their daughters (i.e., “Our daughter is going through her boy-crazy phase.”)
I’ve heard “girl-crazy” so often that I’m surprised you’re even asking this question. Though, I admit, I’ve heard other words that seem more approving, like calling the kid a player (or playah). Or “little ladies’ man.”
Here’s an example. Song does have a sort of “middle-school” vibe to it despite older-by-lyrics, as referenced by NeonMadman.
I’ve never heard “girl-crazy” IRL, but I’ve never heard “boy-crazy” IRL, either.
May be regional, but in my high school some boys were called “Pussy hounds.” I’ve also heard “Horn dog.”
For women, there’s always “Maneater.” (Watch out boys, she’ll chew you up.) Even though the song was about a prostitute, I’ve heard it used to describe the adult version of “boy-crazy.”
Maybe it’s a local or regional or cultural thing but I have never heard the term “girl crazy” until this thread but “boy crazy” is very commonly heard.

“Girl crazy” isn’t about sex, it’s applied to prepubescent boys who get crushes on girls, often by their peers who still find girls icky.
I heard it as often if not more than “boy crazy”, though maybe because I was a boy and not a girl. I understand “Georgie Porgie, puddin and pie, kissed the girls and made them cry” was about a girl crazy kid, and not a rapist as you might believe.
“Girl crazy” may be a less common term than “boy crazy”, but it’s definitely in use and doesn’t seem particularly obscure to me. There’s an old musical with that title about a playboy type, and the term also has an Urban Dictionary entry so it doesn’t seem to have fallen completely out of use.
I’d say “maneater” is quite different from “boy crazy”. “Maneater” carries an obvious connotation that the woman is dangerous to men and destroys one after another.
