Look maybe I’m just used to complimenting my friends and being complimented by them but it’s not like I’m getting called hot or anything it’s like when my friends say I like your sweater or that thing I made looks cute. They are very different things than what you seem to think. Saying something nice about someone is not a bad thing. Also its fairly normalized in woman & non-men spaces to compliment people and be complimented and very few people in those spaces are snobby because of compliments
