Much of status, wealth, intelligence, dominance, and achievement can be understood as compensation for sexual rejection or as an attempt to become desirable.
Power can buy attention, access, obedience, and even fake respect, but it cannot guarantee genuine attraction or loyalty. Some men spend their lives acquiring what the most naturally desired receive without effort: the feeling of being truly wanted.
Consider a purely hypothetical man named Andrew Tate (not the real person ofc). He is ignored and rejected when he is young, so he spends years becoming rich, respected, and powerful, believing success will finally make him desirable.
Later, women give him attention because of his status, while friends and relatives flatter him because they want access to his money, connections, or lifestyle (a piece of his pie). He is surrounded by people, yet still cannot tell who genuinely values him and who values what he provides.
That is the point of the quote: the pursuit of power may really be an attempt to escape rejection and finally feel chosen but power often produces interest, dependence, and imitation rather than genuine desire.
