AFAB people, in my experience, also compliment things that you CAN change about yourself rather than physical characteristics. Usually, I get compliments about how ‘beautiful’ I am from strange men (almost always cis-men). AFAB tell me my makeup looks nice. The latter is so, SO much better.

OOF, the makeup compliments are top tier. Shoutout to the lady 7 years ago in a Forever 21 that ecstatically complimented my eyeliner when I walked past, never forget her.
