I agree with the comment. However, if you are attractive enough, try to compliment a man, saying something like, "I like that haircut", and see how they react.

Let me expand a bit. If you are good looking enough and classy enough, women appreciate anything you say. They don't object to non-vulgar appreciations of their body either. Like, "look at those great legs" is much better than, "look at that a..". But we all know it.
Unfortunately, one of the problems of the "how tos", guides on get better at "charisma", and comments one can read on HN, it is that they ignore the elephant in the room, which is the "quality" of the do-er. It is life, less theoretical and more practical that something one reads in books or listen to in podcast. But of course, reality rarely sells, but we all prefer to think there's this new insight or this new book that, just as the latest watermelon/pineapple diet to lose weight for the beach won't oust the chief role of calorie reduction in losing weight, will get us past simple truths, such as in-shape is better than not, beautiful is better than not beautiful, more educated is better than less educated, more charming is better than less charming, and money is better than no money. In anything one tries to do or achieve, including giving and receiving compliments.
"Quality" is a concept/trait that I studied at length in my academic research in biology, and it is difficult to treat since "circularity" (the animal got a better response because it is of better quality or it is a better quality because it got a better response?) makes it difficult to define the intrinsic or extrinsic nature of the causal effect.
