Because compliments are free. The person giving the compliment experiences a small bit of dopamine after giving the compliment. Giving compliments feels good.

I suspect nitric oxide has a role to play too:-
Nitric oxide triggers the action of guanylate cyclase, an enzyme that helps activate an erection. It works by prompting the release of a body chemical called cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). This causes the smooth muscle cells in the penis' erectile tissue to relax.
