Flattery is always false, I can say that flattery is a false or deceptive praise given because of the recipient's need to be praised.

A compliment on the other hand is genuine appreciation for something, person or action.

she called it faltering cause she knows she did deserve it.
Or don't want it coming from u

“The difference between a compliment and
flattery is often motive. A compliment offers
genuine appreciation for a quality or action
seen in another person. The goal of flattery
is usually self-advancement through gaining
the favor of someone else. Compliments
seek to encourage; flattery attempts to
manipulate.”

You are gorgeously dressed=complement

you are looking good more pretty than beyonce=flatter

Flattering is an over stated truth uttered with a sugar coated tongue for the sole purpose of gaining someone's attention. It usually involves an interior motives.
Compliment Is a direct statement of fact without sugar coated tongue

When I flatter you, it keeps you wondering whether you're all that. When I compliment you sincerely, you just know it's true.

The dichotomy between flattery and compliment is not quite ambiguous..
When a man say fine words on some young woman profile, sooner or later she will tender herself as a fee, an ample reward for your labour..

Flattery is a blank cheque you give a woman, it gives her the ample opportunity to write whatever she deem fit...

Flattery is an excessive and insincere praise, given especially to further one's own interests.

Compliment is a formal act of civility, courtesy, or respect.

Flattery is usually laced with lies; compliment is genuine.
