Why do guys give insincere compliments?

Guys will say that they're so  interested in you but then they'll flirt with lots of other girls. They'll  say the same thing to lots of girls like, "you're hot," "You're beautiful" etc...  It just doesn't seem genuine since they just throw these compliments around. It's happened to me in the past and I've seen it happen to lots of other girls as well,  they've just ended up hurt by this. I've even seen some girl's boyfriends flirt with other girls too. Why would guys act like they're interested in you but still do this kind of thing?

    O' my,

    dear dear dear,

    such a quagmire you place everyone in,

    there is an experience of beauty and of sensory gratification,

    the selective codes which govern ones spontaneous reactions of taste are inborn,

    or acquired early in life and should not affect the argument whether this is flirting or simply seeing the combined qualities of ones beauty, each person is different with distinctions of intent,

    when someone sees an attractive person there exist that;

    after image;

    and this memory improves on the original by achieving greater regularity and simplicity,

    so with all respect,

    it is not always the case that such flattering are aimed towards wanting or causing infidelity,

    yes, agreed, there are those who flirt with compliments, not everyone falls into this hole,

    then there are those who say these things controlled by intrinsic codes from higher respectability,

    i am only stating significant parallels which are meaningful in one way or the other.

    If i call you beautiful,

    it is because i see that you are,

    not because i want you or being sneaky about relations,

    not everyone uses terms as you mention for selfish intent.

    The fact that there are many beautiful people out there should not manifest negative retribution of ones character,

    i'm single,

    so if i say;

    thank you beautiful,

    sincerely,,,

    will you condemn or chastise me??

    People like attention, and it's a pity that some people have to use this method of flattery to get it. Guys (girls too) usually do this when they're looking for quick flings. It's advisable to avoid them if you want something serious.

    its normal for a guy to look at and hit on, other girls.

    no matter what. its the animal nature in all of us.

    and when i was your age, i'd date as many good looking girls, that i could meet. but, not all of that worked out. for the best.

    ................

    but, these days, you can forget, about any boy or man, having any GOOD MORALS. that just does not exist, in these times. of moral corruption.

    and hey after all: all men are sinners.

    one, because there di*ks okay and they only want like to see you for a bit or just mess around but if you want a strong relationship do what i do and just wait for that man to come into your life, hey i may be only 15 but i know what im talking about best of luck to you :)
