Another PHL native here. I miss hoagies and cheesesteaks and shoo fly pie.Someone complimented me a few years ago on the way down the steps to the subway about my fragrance. I thanked her and told her I was wearing Clean.
I can not remember any other time a stranger gave me a compliment. I don't give them much out either. I think living and working in a big city, people are more careful. Passing a stranger on the street, there's usually no waving, no smliling, eye contact generally avoided. There are exceptions, and I try to be the exception, but get tired of being the one to say hello neighbor only to be ignored.
I moved out of the city about 5 months ago, and people are so much friendlier.
Ha! I was born and raised in Philly. You do NOT compliment anyone or even make eye contact!
I just moved to Texas and it is SO much friendlier here.
When I went to Temple, everybody was friendly to everyone! It was the City of Brotherly Love. Don't know what happened!?
That is me to a T as well. Just my personality and probably why I was so successful working as a stylist in a dept store that had just opened. I just find it easy to approach people. My DH is exactly opposite and why I often accompany him to social business situations. Emphasis on a sincere compliment!Yes I have and did the other day.
I don't find it uncomfortable at all talking to someone I don't know, it just seems natural to me. It only takes about 20 seconds to brighten someone's day with a sincere compliment, or to make a connection without a compliment, which has lead me to many enjoyable conversations.
I just bet you were a hit as a stylist, BC. 
I'm a pretty good schmoozer myself. I have no problem at social settings striking up conversations, especially with someone who seems to be less able to do so. I think I inherited the trait from my dad, the gregarious soul that he was.

Temple, did you say Temple?? My brother received his PhD from there.
