I've had women ask me out who had literally never said a positive thing about my appearance a singular time before hand.

Because it's rude to comment on the physical appearance of strangers
Asking me out is a step beyond complimenting my appearance though.
If they were so bold as to ask me out they weren't afraid of coming off as creepy.

Well, lets be honest.
Men in general do not put any (or at least as much) work in their appearance as women. When was the last time you or any man you know took over an hour to get ready because they were doing their skin routine?
There is definitely a significant cultural influence on this, obviously starting at a young age.
But as someone who did put an effort into their appearance during my college days, women did notice.

If you really want to make a man’s day, compliment them on their dick.
Ehm, no, it's just a dick.

We don't need it. We still like it, but we don't need it.
Well, no. Just because we can survive without it doesn't mean we don't need it!
(Though honestly, your reaction was my first snarky thought too!)
That was my thought too. And not a snarky one, but a genuine one.
I remember once, giving a civil smile, while thinking 'meh', on receiving a compliment once. Because I felt that the complement was for the sake of complementing, but at the same time, the words were +ive, so I felt the need to respond positively.
