For me - and I presume many other men - giving random compliments is not a natural thing to do. We remind ourselves to do it early on in a relationship because women like it, but then forget about it later on. That doesn't mean that the same feelings aren't still there. No matter how great someone looks, it simply never enters my mind to mind to tell them that.
Lindseylatch gave part of the reason. We generally feel that once we've said something once, that's enough. Also, simply staying with someone and acting affectionate should be (in our eyes) a more than adequate replacement for random compliments. I'm not saying that you just have to accept your situation, but I hope this helps you understand it a little more.
Another thing is that making comments about other people is completely different than making comments to them (with exceptions allowed for situations where artificial politeness is required).
