I love compliments! So long as it's not an attempt to start a conversation, if you think I'm pretty say so! But please don't expect me to say anything besides "thank you" and keep walking.
The only time I would rather a guy didn't is if I am forced to stay in the area. If we are in a elevator or waiting room, don't make it awkward because I'm absolutely not gonna reciprocate or set up a date with someone I don't know.
That's basically been my experience as a "guy" too. I've given tons of compliments to random passing women and never once had it received poorly. The problem a lot of guys have is that their idea of a compliment is telling a woman she's got nice tits as a pretense to engage in conversation. Usually with the end goal of getting a date.
