How do you react to complements from the opposite sex? Do you remember it? Does it mean more if you find them attractive?

Question

(after watching the video) If it's one that're NOT physically attractive, (or at least not right away) then it's "just being friendly". But if they ARE attractive. Then I'd probably "respond" with silence, as I'm still trying to decide if "she" was being friendly, or flirting.

I usually thank them but tend to think they're just being polite than actually mean it. If it kept happening from the same person then I'd probably start to believe it and if it was someone I was interested in, might prompt me to actually do something about it.

I just say thank you. I like compliment no matter from who they come from. Not always. Not sure I can't remember getting a compliment from a guy I liked so

a passing complement is nice sometimes and it makes me smile and can make my day and i'll probably forget about it soon after

As a woman, I'm used to getting compliment from the opposite sex all the time in particularly when I was younger of course. This is so commonplace that I don't ever pay attention to it or remember it.
I suppose if a girl or man never gets any compliment, then whenever he or she gets some compliment even mean a great deal and he or she will remember it. But in general, I would say most girls do not remember it. We only miss it when it stops coming 🤷‍♀️

It can be nice to get one once in awhile. If it's a compliment about my looks then it's just 'thanks I guess' but if it's about something that I've done, then it's really nice.

I always just say “thanks” but in my mind I act like Mewtwo or Ultron when they woke up for the first time.

Any complements from anyone, family, friends, coworkers, lovers, I have always questioned what they want in return. What "favor" do they want from me. But, that's just me, nothing with the way the complement is given.

"Does it mean more if you find them attractive?" Absolutely!

Anonymous · Answer

As a guy receiving compliments from a girl I would always default to "just being nice". If she wants something to be interpreted as flirting then she needs to do something which doesn't make it possible to have the "just being nice" interpretation.

Subarugirl · Answer

I take compliments with a grain of salt, it also matters how and what is being complimented.

Valso · Answer

Girls have never complimented me, so I don't know how I'd react.

DeonX · Answer

Still remember the last compliment I got 2 years ago. A classmate said my project diagram looked really good.

Denise699 · Answer

I will say him thank you. I like compliments much more if I like the guy :)

Anonymous · Answer

I really don't get complements serious. So I usually say a fake "I appreciate it" but if it's from opposite sex? I still wouldn't care much. If she continues it, I would start investigating what she really means.

Nagahime · Answer

It makes me happy unless it's a gross compliment.
