How to compliment a Lady?

Hey ladies how do you like being complimented?

I'm fairly curious about this one because I've been told things like to "pander" to the cute ones, just be nice to them or compliment something about them? Which to me is cool but that is all in the same vein and I'm looking to be able to spark a real conversation off of something if that is the way to go whats some follow up things I can say.
