I mean most people love it when someone gives a genuine compliment. But there is also the fact that it can be quite creepy at times when a total stranger calls you ‘s*xy’ in the middle of the street. However, most women do not respond and just ignore it which can sometimes anger the cat caller more. And then there is the Internet where some men think women are supposed to reply to every message they get.
The weird thing throughout all of this is how men can respond to the way you accept their compliment. I mean many people don’t know how to deal with a compliment and don’t want to come off as conceited, so they try very hard to portray a humble image when accepting a compliment. However, what happens when you agree with that person. Some will just laugh it off or not even say anything else and others go off the handle to ‘bring you down a peg’.
I can’t believe I even have to say this but not all men do this, and we all know that. But we are not talking about every single man on earth, are we? We are just talking about the few who do this.

Well I did it all my life, whenever someone comments with “You’re smart huh?” I say “Well yes, otherwise you wouldn’t talk to me, would you?” I simply question their intelligence 🙂 It’s different when it comes to look though. Men who are afraid of a woman that recognize their beauty aren’t interesting to me anyway. So when a guy tells me “Your hair/face/legs/eyes/whatever is/are pretty”
I usually reply with “Thanks” … usually you get three different reactions … 1) almost none 2) wow you’re narcissistic/cocky/full of yourself OR 3) Wow finally a woman that doesn’t have confidence issues. And the last guy is the only interesting one, at least to me (I don’t generalize) because he can deal with a personality that doesn’t need to be fake-humble or fishes for compliments with “Oh I’m so fat/ugly/whatever” just for people to say “NOOO you’re not”. My 2 cents about that. -Ella She
I typically compliment them back. I had a man at the gas station tell me I was an “exceptional woman who looked very happy” and I responded “Hey, thanks. You are wonderful at compliments.” He told me his name, I told him mine, we shook hands and away he went.
When a man compliments me on my outfit I usually commend him for his excellent taste. If he compliments me on a particular body part (my bum usually) I say something funny like “Thanks for noticing all the time spent on those squats and lunges!” If they are crude then I usually just pretend I don’t speak English. -Nicole Pierce
