The nicest compliment online was from a person a good distance who said that My profile kept coming up in her search. In spite of the distance, she was impressed, and found me to be attractive and simple. I sent a thank you. Hope that she didn't mean msimpleminded. A few weeks ago, I was on the dance floor at a salsa club with a 30 something year old. After the dance, she said that she liked my energy. Easy answer. Thank you, I had a great dance partner. Easy. Sometimes, a compliment is just that; a compliment Sounds like you accept compliments pretty well Salsa. Thank you for sharing.

I was recently asked if I was good at accepting compliments from a complete stranger. I responded with, "It depends on the compliment". I'm referring to compliments from the opposite sex, as the complete stranger. A compliment is a compliment, but when it's someone you just met, some can make you uncomfortable, while others are more welcome. If someone were to say, "You have such a touching and tender smile", would that be more welcomed than if they were to say, "You have such a touching and tender smile I have ever come across"? Or would neither be welcomed from someone you don't know? For me the first would be okay, but the "I have ever come across" is uncomfortable. So, how good are you at accepting compliments from a stranger of the opposite sex? And how do you handle it when someone gives you a compliment? And what kind of compliments do you feel are acceptable from a complete stranger? Hi pisces, very interesting topic. I would say that I handle compliments from the opposite sex pretty well. Yesterday on my way out, the elevator opened and there stood a guy I knew from a friend so I smiled and said hi. He blurted out "omg you are so beautiful it hurts!" That made me laugh out loud and I could not stop laughing. And before I could reach the door he yelled clutching his chest "seriously, you are so beautiful it hurts!" and I laughed even more. I left the building laughing. I knew he very just showing off and being funny but his over-the-top compliment made my day. Now, if a stranger said that to me on the street, I will also laugh out loud and say thank you because it is funny. On a first meet, a guy told me I looked incredible twice within the first five minutes. Now, that made me a little uncomfortable because I knew I didn't look incredible and he probably just trying to score brownie points. On the internet, I don't take compliments seriously specially when they say "you look good for your age." That usually pi$$ed me off. In your example... If someone were to say, "You have such a touching and tender smile", would that be more welcomed than if they were to say, "You have such a touching and tender smile I have ever come across"? Both are acceptable to me... even if the second one is a tad over-the-top. I would just think that he is trying to impress me and maybe... just maybe... I really have a touching and tender smile lol Now, if a stranger say to me "You are sexy." ... that will give me the jeebies and might even make me puke. Take care my dear friend   
Hi rosie, that's cool how you handle them and very helpful, thanks. I guess I need to lighten up a bit and even find humor in some of the ones from strangers. With my example, I was given the second one, after I was asked if I was good at accepting compliments. Well I completely botched it up, wasn't good at all  . I told him that if he left out the "I have ever come across" part, it would have been more welcomed  
That prompted me to start this thread, I have much to learn 
Thank you my dear friend for sharing
Everyday look in the mirror and say to yourself "Hey girl, you are so beautiful it hurts!" and then smile and say "Why thank you so much." Now you're ready to face the world with that touching and tender smile of yours. Goodnight my dear friend

TAKE ANY COMPLIMENT and be GRATEFUL
BUT, RUN 4 YOUR LIFE
Just keep the legs crossed when you accept anything from strange or not so strange men ...LOL
As for me,..Well, I'm different
I am shy & reserved ( That's when I get to meet you first, so, I don't share compliments 
Once you get to talk & know me, you would think I am on psychotic medications
But after few days knowing me, you will wonder WHY I'M NOT.

I'm thinking they're going to think I'm on psychotic meds if I cross my legs every time they compliment me
And well, I've known you for a few days and I don't wonder why you aren't on meds. Of course I haven't met you in person yet, so I may think differently then 
You always put a smile on my face Funzy. Thank you my friend for sharing.
