After further reflection, in some sick perverted way, I can see how some people might interpret all forms of flattery / compliment as having some ulterior motive or inextricably linked to a man's desire to conquer or take advantage of females.
I just see compliments and flattery (if done right) as an attempt by one human to bring a little joy to another human's day by saying something nice to them. Why does it have to be more than that? Even if you're not family or close friends. If you're with a group of people and you think someone has gone above and beyond to put themselves together for the evening, I see no harm in that.
