I hate the “men don’t receive compliments” argument

This isn´t a miscommunication and it doesn´t work either. Lets say women give men compliments like they give women compliments. That´s not enough for you, because it´s not sexual loaded enough. But that doesn´t mean there is a miscommunication! They literally don´t see you this way.

This is not necessarily true, please don't generalize. Whenever this topic come up there are tons of men posting the last compliment they received and it's usually as banal as "you look nice" or "you have nice eyes". And again, I'm not saying you need to or even should give these to random men. I'm just saying you should be able to understand how bad it might feel to go most of your life without this form of validation.

Now lets say they want to please men and give them a compliment in this (attraction) way: Men will think it´s flirting/attraction (duh). And if they find out it isn´t, because it´s a lie to make you feel better, then how does it help them? They will think women "lead them on" and that´s it.

Again, not calling for you to do anything like that.

Blaming everthing on miscommunication because "Men are from mars, women are from venus" isn´t helping anyone.

I mean this is a fact, no? Men and women go through very different experiences in life. For women that can includes things like fear in public places and unwanted attention that men don't receive and for men it includes being or feeling forced to bottle up emotions and having to be the one to make all romantic advances and never being the desirable one.

I agree with the "partner should compliment you more like this thing" (because why not? They are attracted to each other).

Would it be enough for you to get sexual compliments from other men? Gay or straight?

Yes, if it's from a person who is attracted to men. Not a straight guy, because as you said, if they don't mean it then you obviously wouldn't feel any better about it. But as a conventionally unattractive man, yes, feeling attractive to anyone is a nice feeling.
