Yes, it is in fact creepy, weird, and objectifying.
Men's sense of entitlement to give "compliments" does not supercede women's right to not get creepy, weird, objectifying comments from creepy weird men.

I ride the bus to work. There’s a very large, imposing, but otherwise friendly fellow I frequently run into. He like to strike up a conversation with/at me every time he sees me. He actually will talk to anyone who is near him. It’s annoying and unwanted, but it’s not violating any fundamental rights.
I understand where you’re coming from, but no one knows you don’t want to be spoken to until you inform them. And you certainly have a right to do that. It’s just a bit of a slippery slope wrt free speech to imply that someone’s speech infringes on a perceived right to not hear it.
No wonder there's a loneliness epidemic if people have labelling anything and everything as creepy.
If men want to be less lonely then they need to work on treating women as fellow human beings and not acting so entitled.
Try giving a compliment that addresses the person as a human being with real experiences, thoughts, and accomplishments, rather than regarding the person as an object matching some abstract ideal. It's not a matter of ideology, just acting like a decent human being.
