The only problem with this thinking is that it can stop people wanting to interact with each other, if they're constantly scared to try and strike up a conversation with someone.

For example, some lonely people (men or women it doesn't really matter) might be looking for friendship and might compliment someone's appearance as an intention to break the ice with that other person, and hope to make a friend.

I mean tbf, only the guy in question will know what his intentions were.
