Do attractive people receive less compliments than average looking people with a single striking feature?

A while ago I was hanging out with my friend who is average in total attractiveness (think like low-mid MTN). The waiter comes up and takes our order, but before even asking anything, she compliments how beautiful his eyes are. According to my friend, this is a recurring compliment and I believe it because I hung out with him again and as we’re checking out a college girl asks him “Did you know your eyes are gorgeous?”. Meanwhile, I’ve never received a direct compliment on a facial/aesthetic feature from the opposite gender, but I can still pull higher than him due to my higher overall attractiveness (think low HTN. I’ve just been wondering why there is a disconnect between him receiving compliments over me.
