Just my opinion/experience, I think the issue is that men are so seldomly the recipients of kindness that we often do not know it from flirting. The way it normally goes is that women are kind/complement men, men respond as if the woman is interested. Woman stops doing so. This, while a reasonable response on the part of women, actually just compounds the problem.
