For the vast majority of men, the world is colder and crueler than women will ever be able to understand or comprehend. Men can go months without a single compliment and years without a single person every telling them that they appreciate them for the sacrifices that they make.
Most men go thru so much of their lives unappreciated, that when they do find a person who truly appreciates them they will literally sacrifice their lives to protect that person.
I have been called attractive by a random woman exactly one time in my life, not counting things like obvious flattery. I was literally struck dumb by it. I had no idea what to do because I hadn't even considered the possibility it would ever happen. I'm more mentally prepared to encounter an alien species than be complimented. Women can't even begin to fathom what it's like to live that way.
And before an unfunny person accuses me of just being some hideous incel who cannot into woman, I'm married.
Actually, the compliment came well after I got married. But had it not, I can assure you I would have taken her out to lunch before never hearing from her again.
Comedian Lila Hart made a great comment about this the other day: https://twitter.com/lovelilahart/status/1546013490695004160

You married the girl that complimented you, didn't you?

So the one you married never called you attractive?
