Actually there’s no need to have any difference for platonic male or female relationships when it comes to giving compliments. Especially the male breed doesn’t think too much like females do. Just be sincere about your compliments? It shows. No need the extra extra remarks. Anything extra will sound fake and people could sense that. If you would like to elaborate, you may elaborate generally.

Eg: you raised your daughter well. She’s very responsible of her younger siblings.

Eg: you look better with the new hairstyle compared to the previous one. You look more vibrant, energetic. Hairstyles really can change a person’s image

I agree with the others about the bold statement that it sounds like a backhanded compliment. Also what is the reason of this statement?

Ultimately there’s no one way or template to compliment a person as the relationship between you and the other party would be different (bf, love interest, colleague, long time friend, family). And human are so unique and complex and ChatGPT won’t be able to cover all. (Would advise TS to not too obsess of using AI) As a general rule just no back handed compliment or sarcasm then it should be fine. As for how the person will perceive, it really is up to them and you overthinking it won’t change a thing.

As for your friend not able to get any girls does not need any pity words. He definitely knows what he’s good at and that’s not the issue at all. The problem with him are the qualities that he lacks of (might be rude personality, stingy, degrade women or even talk very awkward… that turn people off). Sides of him that you might not know of him due not close enough to know… or it’s something you know but not willing to tell him due to not wanting to ruin the friendship.
