This is a warning to be wary of flatterers and the type of con man who butters you up to create a false sense of camaraderie.
Excessively charming people might just have been brought up that way but more likely you will pay for all that free smarm sooner or later.
Insincere flattery might make you feel good but when you start hearing the things you would like to hear about yourself, be on guard: you might be about to lower your defences and take it on the chin.
