Meaning
This line points to the way experience can make someone harder to manipulate. It can be read as a wry observation that repeated deception leaves a person more alert, less easily impressed, and maybe even suspicious of easy promises. It lands in situations where someone who has been disappointed before is slower to trust smooth talk or convenient excuses.
