This is a lot like asking why people apply for jobs when they don't know the salary or if they really want the job yet.
Its not the best case. The best case, from a hiring perspective, is that employers are pursuing you, they come to you, and sell you on why you should want to work for them. And that does happen with certain skillsets. But for most job seekers, they can't just apply to their dream job and hope, and they can't wait till they know for sure they want a job. They have to apply to a bunch, hope some interview them, and then learn about the job during the interview process and hopefully make a reasonable decision, not just grabbing anything available.
Dating is a lot like this - sometimes an opportunity opens up naturally, sometimes others pursue you. But for the majority of men and a maybe a majority of women, you can't just sit back waiting for these golden opportunities. So men are out there 'applying for jobs' while still not 100% sure if it's a job they'd want. THey have to do that to generate enough opportunities that they will, in the end, want and get.
Most Helpful Opinions
We do it for a variety of reasons. One is to simply show that we are friendly and are trying to start a conversation. Another is because we don't want to be seen as boring or inattentive and hopefully get your attention enough to start talking. Others do it as a form of manipulation to get what the want, usually attention and/or sex. Still, others do it either because that is how they were raised or because they are just being polite. Also, most women, at least in my limited experience, enjoy having the details that they put effort into recognized and appreciated. Some women prefer guys who can deliver a decent compliment with thought behind it instead of just, "You're hot," or, "Nice ass," etc. An example of such thoughtful compliments are, "Elegantly beautiful," and, "Radiantly stunning!"

Complimenting is just a good way to start a convo.
Although, I also compliment ladies I find interesting ly cute because I want some of their attention. And by that I am looking for dates, hangout sessions, bar settings session, and ultimately sex.
However, I mostly compliment because it's nice to be notice and give notification. U know.Because he still has to do something to make her want to like and go on dates with him no matter how much he likes her- the interest must be mutual.
Because they are hoping that they are landing a gold mine.
Compliments are not given with ulterior motives in mind. Yes, flirting is surely done with a motive but I am quite sure that genuine compliments are given because you appreciate or like something about that person.
Probably just to get laid, which is a disservice to everyone. Which is also why I only say what I mean.
You are overthinking this shit.
We do this cause hey doesn't get a response
A random question doesn't get a response
A compliment does sometimesMore often than not, if we want to merely sleep with you, we just tell you that. Weaker men might go the ulterior motive route no different than weaker women.
I compliment women bc its nice to receive a compliment about appearance or attitude. Who gets disgusted when you're told you look nice? It's just me probably... wandering if this nice streak will ever come back around.
Because we know that the vast majority of women won't give us a second opportunity to talk unless we really impress them.
It’s a necessity. You need to constantly be creating opportunities for yourself. If you’re not fostering appeal and wait until later, her interest will often spoil. You need to keep her interested to if an opportunity is to arise.
cause men are taught to be kind to women at a young age
until they realize the truthI was raised to show respect to females honestly I tell them the truth I like to make people smile
Because we want you to like us and that's the only thing we can think of usually.
The genuine reason s because it works.
I think that's just typical flirting in general.
Bc they fall for it, and it increases the chance
In order to have sex with them of course.
Practice.
Girls do the same shit
