    I'm not sure I really have a goal in mind. It feels more like being love-drunk and blurting out something dopey more than a directed effort towards whatever.

      There is a gendered difference in the expression. It generally cool when female presenting persons do it. So that does fuzz the math.

        A substantial amount of masculine "compliments" (as in, compliments from masc) are simply re-affirming the patriarchy. Another substantial portion are because of fucked ideas about dating and pride.
