Nope, definitely not at work and only in certain situations outside of work.
Something President Trump once said (although about a completely different topic) applies in this situation, “I think there is blame on both sides” of this issue.
- One Side: Skeevy people making inappropriate comments that have no place in a truly civilized society, resulting with the targets of their comments (and others within earshot) feeling uncomfortable or even unsafe (at an extreme).
- Other Side: People who are just looking to; cash-in, or, get retribution, or, be offended...etc. turning things that were meant to be complimentary into something completely different.
If two sides listed above didn’t ruin it for everyone else - yes, you could pay compliments just about anywhere and just about at any time.

If I wouldn't compliment a dude on it, I'll probably avoid complimenting a woman on it.

yep! I can't resist teeth, if a woman has teeth I like I will tell them only bc I have struggled with mine, went thorough all kind of dental care, whitening, and braces- so if you have a smile or teeth I admire I will compliment! I can't help it! so wish I had that look!

Paying compliments to a stranger on breast augmentation surgery is probably a no-no. Non verbal compliments only. Much harder to prove.

Absolutely not. All risk zero reward. The only exceptions would be on specific tasks they may have done well. Thats no fun at all! The reward is making someones day! A sincere compliment delivered in a "non creepy" way I am sure can make someones day. Yeah but the problem is that you aren't the one who gets to determine whether it's creepy - she is. I don't trust them that much. It's almost always creepy, just don't.

Sometimes, but I am selective and typically I have to know the person and therefore know they will not take it as harassment. Kind of sad that is the society we live in. Yes, this. You have to know who you are conversing with. Libs never, they are looking for any reason to damage you because they hate men. They suffer from penis envy. Conservatives, no problem.

Most women know a compliment when they hear one. They appreciate it.

Infrequently, but yes, I do. I keep it to "That's a really nice dress/outfit," or if they've obviously changed their hair or color and it looks nice I'll tell them.
I hold doors often and frequently get complimented on my manners. My standard reply is, "Thank you, Mama raised me well." Giving another woman credit for your strong suits goes over well.
I wish the elevators in my building had security cameras. I take the stairs a lot because I refuse to get on an elevator alone with a woman. I work for a large employer with deep pockets and just the accusation of impropriety would likely make for a payday for the woman and wreck my career. I guess I'm being paranoid, but I fear there are many women out there looking for that payday and don't care whose life they wreck to get it.
Funny story.... when I was married, my wife and I were alone on a very long elevator ride from our hotel room to the parking garage. We had a little make-out session on the way down. As we passed by an open office door on the way to the car we saw the security guard looking at screens of video footage of the elevators!

honestly, no. I will say hello with a smile or hold a door open, but thats it. Im part of the younger generation and my peers almost always take things the wrong way. I do, however, compliment women i am already friends with because they know its a friendly gesture. Back while in college if i was already in a flirtatious conversation with a girl at a bar or school or something, then yes i would compliment them but thats a little different... last one i complimented like that i am now engaged to.
