Men indult each other but don't mean it. Women compliment each other but don't mean it.
Well, I can only talk for me. But I am sure there are out there a lot of women like me, that only gives complements, to men and women, when the compliment is due... I won't just compliment you out of the blue, or if not sincerely felt. Never. That's why I don't like generalisations, each person is different and uniquel.
