I do occasionally compliment a woman (that sounds really harsh, but I mean in the context of this conversation abut offering random compliments). The most recent was someone I saw on campus with an AMAZING coat. I always ensure, however, to do so in as neutral manner as possible with no follow-up, returning my focus to whatever I was doing at the time, so there's no opportunity for it to be misconstrued as a pick-up.
I learned how good this kind of compliment feels after I dyed my hair purple and started dressing my aesthetic instead of the bargain rack and started getting positive comments all the time. Now I am teaching myself to get past my introversion to send the same energy back into the world by complimenting others. I'm getting better at it!
