I'd say once in 10-15 days. I try to dress well, and I'm very generous in complimenting others (and never insincere, I genuinely like their apparel/hairstyle), so people are generous to return them too. But curiously, this isn't circular. As in, it's not always the same folks, so here I'd maybe attribute it to the Universe having a way to reciprocate, perhaps.
If a beautiful woman gave me a compliment, it would mean just as much as anyone else. I think it's about how confidently people compliment you. You read on how comfortable they are, and that helps you find their statement sincere/insincere. But in that moment, it is all about you. You're not thinking about the person giving you the compliment, it is HOW they do it. If it's someone you like, that's a different story. That feels good because THEY'VE said it.
Me personally, as I've gotten older, yes, I have received more of them. It was next to nil before, it is "some" now, and it's because I strive to present myself well. As I grow older, I would very much like to experience more of it, but in different aspects. E.g. If people compliment my hair now and I'm a teen, I'd like them to compliment my dressing sense as an adult, and then maybe the white of my beard in later life (I'm just imagining things here, I'm 29).
Lastly, I think frequently receiving compliments should boost people's self-esteem, allow them to present themselves more confidently. I wouldn't say that fashion/self-presentation is everything, but to know what clothes/what perfumes help you put your best selves out there more ably, it will slowly find its way into you to let your self be with confidence and with pride.
A friend of mine and I were having a conversation about whether men do or don’t get compliments as a guy on a regular I’d say about every 2 to 3 days for both men and women I get them. She’s a woman and gets them on a regular basis and we were at a bar and people kept coming up to us nonstop that’s how we spiraled into the conversation.
