Why would a girl ignore a "you're cute" compliment on a public chat from a very cute guy? Are many women insecure or competitive with bad experiences?

Because you are not alone, and she likely has received (or even is receiving) the same message from a few (or even more!) also cute guys. See "hypergamy".

[Asad1ONE1]

No it was not on a dating site lol. It was in a 5-person college chat!

[Curmudgeon]

Ok, but the hypergamy principle still applies. That is, she likely has received the same message from more than a few guys in her past.

Or maybe there are other factors

[SolsticeSnow]

Because its a public chat with other people and so, inappropriate of him to have flirted with her on there. He might be OK with making everyone uncomfortable so he can flirt but she, isn't.

Or perhaps she just isn't into him.

[Asad1ONE1]

Nah I doubt. A simple "thanks" shouldn't be cause for discomfort. She was clearly a man (or cute guy) hater.

Most men are not genuine with compliments.

[Asad1ONE1]

Ok I see thanks for being honest. That's your projection. Every man is different.

Some girls think it's too fast if it's too soon
