Men, why do you compliment girls?

i want to clarify that isn’t not a bad thing at all because you can be as clear as possible on something and then another person will have a problem with it 😭 when guys compliment girls on stuff like clothes, what is the reason? is it genuine liking of it or is it due to physical attraction? i ask this because for years i never had a guy talk to me, come up to me, nothing. the most play is get is them dareing their friends to ask me out as a joke when i was very little. but i noticed specifically this year, if i’m walking or having a few second conversation with a guy i just met. i’ll get a compliment like “i like ur necklace”, “ur coats pretty cool”. although they seem like normal compliments, are they actually just that or is that code for potential interest. i’m wondering so i can understand better
