When I was in Europe, I noticed that a lot of men freely complimented other men. It wasn't seen as unmanly to do so.
I LOVE giving and getting compliments, so I felt more at home there. I think when you meet someone, you should try to pay them a compliment to make them instantly more at ease around you. A lot of people really worry about feeling "worthy" of someone's friendship. Complimenting them lets them know you think they're at your level. I don't think it should always be about their appearance though, as that's pretty shallow. Also, it can come off as brown-nosing/flattery.
Your friend probably wasn't making a move on you. He probably just felt like being honest and telling you he thinks your eyes are interesting looking. Maybe he wanted to show some kind of brotherly affection, or maybe he was just fishing for a compliment back to validate himself.
Is it normal for another guy (friend) to compliment your eyes?
