wheedler
This term describes a person who employs a strategic, often insincere, blend of praise and persistence to manipulate others. It carries a negative connotation of sneakiness or opportunistic behavior, suggesting that the flattery is a tool for personal gain rather than a genuine expression of admiration.
While similar to a sycophant, a wheedler is typically viewed as more of a coaxer or a smooth-talker who uses charm to soften a target's resistance. The focus is on the process of persuasion through sweetness and persistence rather than just blind subservience.
