I think it's because male sexuality typically values the looks and the physical, while female sexuality typically values deeper emotional connection and being provided for. So in practice, women are judged more on their looks while men are judged more on what they can offer a woman in resources. Not saying that's the ONLY think people look for in partners, but it takes precedence.
I've noticed when it's gay people involved, what's valued doesn't change. Gay men (usually) place incredible emphasis on how other men look too, while the lesbians... well, a lot don't care about looks, we can see that.
I'm not some SJW saying that, I don't think that's societal conditioning. I think it runs very deep biologically, going back into prehistory and maybe even before we fully evolved.
Why are people against/offended by guys being complimented?
