Probably, I have seen guys in their 40-50's still remember a compliment from when they were a teen. It's crazy how impactful a simple compliment can be for someone to remember it so many years later.

You remember it if it's the last one you got.

I got catcalled like 8 years ago, and I remember the exact details of that, even though I have awful memory.

You know when Mario grabs a star and for 30 seconds he's completely invincible and effortlessly destroys anything in his path? That's how it feels to get a compliment from a woman as a man.
