What does it mean when a guy compliments a specific feature like your eyes?

This has been on my mind and I’m hoping for some perspective.

A guy I know (we’re not super close, but we talk sometimes) complimented my eyes out of nowhere. I was joking about how making a sticker out of my own eyes would be creepy, and he said, “But you have big eyes… and it’s cute.”Was this just him being friendly and nice in the moment? Or do guys usually say things like this only when they genuinely notice something?
