Women are generally socialized to be nice and polite, and that paired with the high importance placed on female beauty means that women - particularly those not close enough to each other to be honest - often end up gassing each other up not out of real conceit, but as reassurance and out of "nice-ness". When the plain Jane, unfashionable friend posts a pic of herself all dolled up for the evening, her friends feel a little pang of sympathy, and might remember those times they tried to look nice but felt ugly - so they leave positive comments to make her feel good. The average MtF doesn't know any of this, and takes all compliments at face value, genuinely believing every woman in his life thinks he's a stunning goddess. That and the usual troon flattery circlejerks give them a completely warped perspective of their own appearance. Thus we have all these MtFs claiming their female friends are "jealous", who are baffled strangers still call them "sir," etc, who always turn out to be ogres.
