Is it because he admitted to being socially low status?

I did no such thing! I expressed sympathy with socially unprivileged men, and complained about how my interactions with women tend to be driven by sexuality rather than friendship.

I'm actually rather high status (eg. everyone shuts up and listens when I talk, and I'm not shy at all.) in the circles I move in.

Sorry about being unclear.

This is generally a status-lowering move. If you can afford that in real life, it could be a counter-signal, but it probably doesn't work online.
