I also think it has to do with body language and intent. Its hard to see this sometimes. IME I can usually tell when someone it being fake nice based upon their tone, how general their nice comments are an body language or those cues or tells people give off. I usually can tell when someone doesnt like me and is just faking nice for the sake of looking good. Its almost like backhanded compliments. If someone says "Wow, you look good today" I tend to think of that as genuine because there doesnt seem to be anything prompting the compliment. At the same time I had some woman from AA ask me what kind/where I got a lipstick I was wearing. I told her and she said "its an interesting color" Now what was the point of that? It was a backhanded compliment. I know she didnt like it but she should not have said anything. Asking me about it and then throwing veiled shade was immature and a personal passive aggressive way of speaking to me about nothing.
