It doesn’t matter what type of status a man has. He may have money, other women chasing him, is talented or skilled. But if he finds a woman particularly alluring or special, and falls into the trap of putting her on pedestal, or views her as someone who must be praised, his status will go out the window. This is particularly true if he spills his feelings, is overly effusive with compliments.
Whether you love him or hate him, Drake has been the most popular musical artist in the world for the past decade. Due to this, he obviously is high status. However, high status men can still make the critical error of putting a particular woman on pedestal.
The following example is from a few years back, but is an excellent example of how being too effusive with verbal praise, and over sharing of feelings in a needy way makes women uncomfortable, and is one of the biggest turnoffs, even if it comes from a high status man. This is the end of a speech Drake gave honoring Rihana in 2016:
“She's someone...she's someone I've been in love with since I was 22 years old, she's one of my best friends in the world. All my adult life, I've looked up to her even though she's younger than me. She's a living, breathing legend in our industry.”
Now read an interview she gave regarding the speech and the impact it had on their relationship:
“Waiting through that speech was probably the most uncomfortable part. I don't like too many compliments. I don't like to be put on blast. We don't have a friendship now, but we're not enemies either. It is what it is."
It is an extreme example, but it applies to a general concept of attraction. Verbal compliments when overdone will make women extremely uncomfortable, especially women who are high quality. It is better to show appreciation through action rather than verbal praise. It’s fine to be heartfelt and vulnerable, but if it becomes unbalanced, even high status men can become susceptible.
