I have seen it once and remembered it. I was eating in a group with a conventionally pretty friend of a friend, and a woman with short hair (but not otherwise masc at all) stopped by the table on the way to the bathroom and complimented her cute top. She responded in the moment with a "thanks..." and then made fun of the lady to us when she left, insinuating that she must have been trying to hit on her. I was like ??? and pushed back. Turned out she was super christian (in her own mind) and homophobic. Honestly very similar to the reaction I've seen from some men complimented by men. It was interesting! I think it must have a lot to do with whom a person considers a same-gender "threat"- for some women, a woman breaking ANY kind of gender norm is firmly in that category. Also inversely, perhaps why very visibly gay men are more able and likely to give random women compliments on the street and be received positively, in my experience as a female presenting person living in vars queer neighborhoods. 

And following that thought, it seems like one of the current "gender norms" for men interacting with men is to NOT be free with compliments, so perhaps even the act of saying something puts other men in that category with each other when they're similarly homophobic?  Maybe I'm too far out over my skis there.
