Sorry if I burst your bubble, but 9 out of 10 times it's just politeness/tatemae. Japanese are raised to behave in certain ways. Making other people feel good about themselves and not destroying the harmony is one of them.
You didn't burst my bubble. I realize that when Japanese people or any group of people say things, you have to take it with a grain of salt.
At first it seemed like you were claiming that literally every time a woman says kakkoi or ikemen, that it means nothing. Sometimes they are expressing genuine attraction.
You should think more positively though because on the flipside, they might not really mean to come off as bitchy when they point out that you are thin, bald, etc.
