I saw it as a cheesy compliment with an added layer of cheesy humour.
And most people like compliments and cheesy jokes.
But then again I also saw the top comment as an Andrew Tate-ish, “I’d rather be an incel than attempt to compliment a woman”, so what do I know…

A test to see which is the incel comment: which one most readily accepts a “m’lady?”

Four score and seven years ago, m’lady…
To be, or not to be…m’lady
Once upon a midnight dreary, m’lady…
Seems legit…

The last two seem at least plausible. Both huge nerds. And Lincoln probably wanted more of Joshua Speed than society allowed, so…kinda, maybe?

A long time ago, I saw a reddit comment that observed the truth that men rarely get compliments, but when they do it probably means a lot; and women frequently get compliments but they’re usually fairly meaningless because often the comment originates with someone who wants something from them.
I never really thought about it before then, but the part I’ve experienced is true - I am a man, am rarely complimented, and am very grateful when I am. As such, since then, at every opportunity, I’ve complimented strangers - male and female - especially on something that clearly took courage or effort, like a loud shirt or an elaborate hairdo.
I try to do so in situations that make it clear I’m not seeking seeking anything in return, such as when the stranger and I are headed in opposite directions through a store vestibule. Hopefully that lends an air of authenticity to them. I’ve definitely gotten very rewarding responses more than once.
