Some guys here have touched on some of it already, but basically it avoids putting her on a pedestal and giving her the obvious upper hand over you too soon. No matter how you say it, it'll give her a little bit more power - why do that?
A compliment does not give someone the upper hand over anything. In fact, if you give a compliment from a confident place you have the upper hand. Your boss tells you "Nice suit"...you dont go around thinking "wow...I own that guy!"

Also, girls seem to like some mystery, so not putting all your cards on the table and revealing your interest to her piece by piece makes more sense. You're already showing you're interested by talking to her, hanging out with her, etc. It kills the mystery you have big time to just lay it all out.
Giving a compliment is no...big....deal.... Telling a girl she is beautiful does not mean thats the end of the mystery. Honestly, many of you need to be normal and give compliments to people. Its not some kinda power thing. Its not some kinda statement of intent. You're the hottest girl Ive seen does not mean I'm won over.

And indeed, just giving basic looks-based compliments is super boring and she's heard it a thousand times before, probably. You'll need specific and sincere ones to really have them make a positive impact.
No one said to just bombard a chick with looks based compliments. And if she's attractive and you tell her that is that not sincere? Look, you can spend time building up some mystery and playing what sounds like the long game to eventually bed a chick. Or, you can use looks based compliments smartly like "you look sexy tonight" to turn her on and bed her that night. Too many guys seem focused on upper hand/lower hand instead of TURNING HER ON and being CONFIDENT. I focus on dominance and turning her on, more than who has the upper hand right now. Sleeping with a chick is no big deal. Its not defusing a bomb or climbing mount everest. Fun, connect, escalate...sex. If she thinks you giving her a compliment means you've won her over, then you're doing it wrong.
Edit- Damn Jack posted it a better way before I hit submit.
