What do you call the female equivalent of a “chalice chipper?”

For those unfamiliar:

Chalice chipper: (noun) a woman who pursues a seminarian romantically with the intent of leading him away from the priesthood and toward marriage

What would the male equivalent be? Have convent come up with a slang word for men who romantically pursue postulants, novices, and sisters, who are under temporary vows with the intention of leading them away?
