She is not going to say your handsome... it don't work that way.

They don't like to flat out say they're attracted to you because then it puts them beneath you and probably makes them insecure. The pedestal works both ways.
I don't agree. From my personal experience you can get compliments from hot women, I can think of a few examples. I was on a date with this really cute girl and she kinda gave the game away by asking me if I'd ever done any modelling. I've been approached by those Abercrombie scout chicks a few times, which is always an ego boost and I was put forward by a female friend once. I've also had some very forward girls in clubs tell me that I'm hot and I have been approached once or twice. Probably even more blatantly before we got together my ex said that I was really attractive and this girls really hot. It's weird because I don't actually consider myself to be
that attractive, I know I'm not bad looking and with the last few girls I've dated long term, I've definitely been the ugly one. I think girls do sometimes say these things because sometimes they have no idea what to say, their game sucks, they have no idea what to do if things get flipped on them. They sit around laughing with each other about texts guys send them, then when they're really into a guy, they're just as bad if not worse.

hot women don't usually compliment guys in their own range
This is generally more how it is, the vast majority of women will only give compliments to guys who they deem to be better looking than them. I think a great way to work out where you are on the male 1-10 looks rating, if that kinda thing bothers you, is to work out which chicks are openly checking you out and not bombarding you with tons of shït tests when you approach. So if in general you can't easily escalate on most 7's, you're probably a 7 or below. It's not worth getting too worked up over because of the other factors involved but in terms of averages it tends not to lie when it comes to initial attraction.
The good thing for guys is that you can actually get better looking a lot easier than girls. Go to the gym and build muscle at around 10%, get some fashion sense, a good haircut, clear your skin up and some swagger about you and you're pretty much a 7 by default. Anything else like being naturally good looking, having a masculine face structure etc just boosts you up higher. If you're willing to put the effort in you can easily do this, whilst women are pretty much screwed when it comes to how they look unless they want to go under the knife, which is not as accessible compared to the things guys can improve.
