 This is my take.  I dated this totally hot guy who apparently used to be a chubby kid (he was not a chubby adult - in fact, he had a very low body fat percentage).  But he had these hang-ups - like even though he was really hot now, he wasn't hot then, so he wouldn't believe that anyone meant what they said when they complimented him.  I told him he was hot all the time, and he thought I was being fake, like I wanted something.   No matter how many times I explained that he was just too hot for me not to say anything and I meant it, he didn't believe me.  It was too bad.  That's just one example, but maybe sometimes people who don't like being complimented are just not trusting the complimentor or something - so it's really all in their head that the complementor doesn't mean it or wants something.
I was an ugly duckling but I love getting compliments.  I bask.
