Chou nanren is very specifically a male term; it means "stinky man" literally.
The
music video for this song is creepy. Which you might think is the point, but actually it's wrong for the song, IMHO. The song is about the self-confident bastard who women know is bad news yet intrigues them because they want to believe that they can change him (guys, it's pretty much exactly the same thought process that causes men to chase and spend money on selfish and unattainable women... you want what you can't/shouldn't have).
The music video, on the other hand, seems to depict a stalker, and instead of being actively and irresistibly drawn to his arrogance and potency like a moth to a flame, the girl seems more like she wants to get away but doesn't have the self-confidence to say anything. I'm yelling at the screen "No! Don't let him see your contact info! NEVER GO TO A SECOND LOCATION WITH A STRANGER!"
YiDA's smile at about 2:36 suits the song perfectly, however. Me-OW.
