I think for me it depends on the person and the setting.
Compliments from someone that is sincere whether about looks or a job I've done always makes me feel good. Although, I haven't mastered taking them gracefully.

Flattery I am not a fan of especially if they appear to only be doing it to gain attention to themselves


Yup

I have no problem to compliment a persons dress/hair/job done, whatever...in fact, more females need to compliment more females and not put each other down..
I know some persons can be embarassed by compliments, but we need to take it gracefully, say 'why thank you',.. and move on.


I agree with this also. I thing a compliment about style and look from a female. Perhaps it is because we do not feel a motive behind it? That is not a good thing thought.

I don't know about others but I can pretty much tell when some one's compliments/flattery; either one, are sincere. That is more rare than it should be but happens. And when it does it tends to embarrass me some but it really brightens my day.

I tend to love it when someone flatters or compliments me by their actions more than there words. Words are nice to hear but when a person puts real feelings into actions then goes to that next dimension.

do you think one is different from the other?


I think some ARE different kinds of compliments. For me, it depends how the person words it.


do you love to get them? hate it? somewhere in between?


do you feed off of how many you get in a day?


Absolutely not, but I know someone who would. laugh


do you detest getting them ( this is me) and it actually ticks ya off?


I mainly detest corny chat-up lines. Just be bold. I don't like small talk. I like it, if the compliment is genuinely sweet. I don't so much like dogmatic compliments. You know, dogmatic compliments are for them hoes who stand on street corners. I have better to deal with. Don't let that man wearing a shirt and tie lure you in. We all know who he is, and what he does, and who he's been with. There's always one. spock

They make me uncomfortable for some reason. Quite silly for me to feel that as it's just someone trying to be nice.

On several ocassions, at the grocery store, someone has stopped me and said to hold my head up and that I looked pretty. Weird, huh! I still look down....Lolololol.
