I'm in Spain so whenever I leave the house men shout "guapa" at me...I just had a homeless man do a little dance around the square singing "guapa guapa guapa, mira guapa". Both gender say "hola guapa" in greeting and people will comment mid conversation on how pretty I am or go on about my eyes. In Ireland I'd get the odd wolf whistle and on average once every couple of weeks a stranger (either gender) will come up to me to tell me I'm gorgeous or lovely...these strangers are usually at least 10 years my senior. People my age or younger don't give me compliments unless it's guys interested me. I love it. I've been very insecure in the past and shy and things like this make me believe in myself.
Funny to say, I get more compliments from guys on GAG than I do from people in real life. When I was younger, I had older women 30-60 years of age and guys my age at that time compliment me. Now, I still get younger guys compliment me and rarely will a woman compliment me, especially one my age. I am almost 32 years old. Usually they tell me, I'm sexy, beautiful/gorgeous and I always say thank you.
In real life though, nobody has complimented me for about a year now. My hubby will every once in a while. It doesn't bother me, it would get annoying if I heard it all the time.
Often by both genders. Sometimes it makes me kind of uncomfortable. Like the ones that want to touch me... I don't like people I don't know touching me.
A few times other women have just started touching my hair and saying how beautiful is... thanks but meehhhh don't touch me :/
I'm not a horse :(
I've had it a few times, but I honestly don't think it is due to looks, maybe I look OK in the face area, but I think it's mainly because I'm quiet that a girl might just say something like that. I don't have many social interactions with girls anyways, or anybody else for that matter. plus any time that someone has said that I feel like a weak pathetic teeny weenie something or other and I shy away anyways. I always wish I could be like Rudolf the red nose reindeer when the female deer (doe) calls him cute and he flies around...that guy got it lol, but I can't feel that way
By appearance I'm assuming you mean physical attributes, to which I say very rarely. However I do get a decent amount of compliments from both genders appearance wise by how I dress.
Mostly though I get compliments for personality traits like humor or intelligence though. That or that I'm cool and laid back.
I'm 24, and I can't say I've noticed anything in terms of age correlation. I don't consider myself all that good looking so I figure that the lack of compliments about my appearance is generally warranted.

You bring up a very interesting question. As a 21 year old male I find that mainly guys and older women compliment me on my appearance. Women my own age do as well, just not as often, they seem to do it when they are flirting with me. This makes sense when you get down to it because guys my age and older women have no aspirations of getting with me where as girls my age do so they feel to nervous or out of line unless they are alone and flirting with me. I went with C by the way as I thought it was closest to my situation.
I'm 21 and I voted often from both genders.. but I believe it's purely because I work at a restaurant dealing with hundreds of people a day and all with a constant smile on my face. It's a rare day I don't get some sort of compliment on my appearance.:)
Never. I've had people say I look okay or normal but only online. I was bullied from about 8-18 for the way I look (mostly by girls) and have been straight up told I'm ugly many times, always by people around my age though, older people just don't say anything either way.
I get a compliment on my looks weekly at work, but that's only with the girls I work with. I know they probably say it just because I'm friends with them or they're trying to give me a confidence boost. I'm pretty self-conscious about my looks, so when someone says something like that I take it with a grain of salt.
Hahaha... I'm old, fat, and ugly, so I don't expect to get told this stuff very often. Fortunately for me, I have a brain, a sense of humor, confidence, and experience, so at least I have something to offer. If I didn't have those, my life would be pretty bleak! LOL.
But guys in general don't get many compliments on their appearance unless they are pretty exceptional looking - a 9.5-10 out of 10.
More than often by the opposite gender. Girls would compliment me but gus BY FAR surpass them in my experience. I guess is hard for girls to compliment the same gender because they will think your head is over the roof I was blessed with a face and a nice body.
I'd say I've been rarely complimented about my appearance. Most people say I'm tall, but I don't take that really as a compliment, more as a neutral statement. Then again, I haven't been insulted about my appearance much either. Not that I really mind it, I wouldn't really care either way.
And I'm 19 years of age.
This is tough to answer, because its in relation to what?
If I'm more keen on seeing a lot of people, I might get more compliments where as if I'm not interested in a relationship I'll avoid that kind of attention in which case it rarely happens. Also some of my friends are timid I'd never expect them to say that ever, to anybody.
I get called Cute by people from both genders. I'm 22 and turning 22 in few weeks and they say I look very young for my age, maybe that's why they call me cute. I get compliments from my parent's friends, some of my friends and guys that I meet Sometimes. I usually get the ccompliments from my boyfriend. He calls me beautiful and gorgeous all the time. I feel lucky.
Honestly, pretty often. When I'm around women that is. My work is almost always around men and a good bit of it over seas in some real crap holes. But when I'm in a Western civilization, particularly America, I have no problem with getting the ladies attention. :D
Sometimes but from like teachers or adults or people older than me (I'm 19) I meet e. g parent's friends, neighbors, etc. I don't think I've never been complimented by any one from the opposite gender around my age which is why I don't believe it when people say I'm pretty or cute. Not gonna lie I am insecure about my looks. Though a guy did call me intimidating before lol.
Rarely or never. Usually it's by older folks, like grandmas and grandpas...
I never get complimented for my attractiveness. My mom's nickname for my is "uggy" for ugly girl. The only time a guy ever wants to go out with me is because he feels sorry for me. I guess I really am that ugly... *sigh
In real life? E.
Online? D. But only from guys.
Girls in real life compliment on one single thing, like my hair. A lot of girls, especially white girls, seem to want my hair. But girls never compliment me on the whole look/attractiveness.
Hmm..tough question. It really depends. I would say usually from girls complimenting my eyes, hair, smile. It's weird because it's never really my friends or acquaintances. It's always random strangers.
I don't get it from my friends because they all want to keep me just as a friend. However a lot of girls call me handsome because of my long hair (down to my neck, but its temporary until spring starts) every week.
Somewhat often. I am older than you by times two maybe. Older people are generally more comfortable giving and receiving compliments and I have been lucky enough to be handsome enough to be called beautiful still, handsome and even pretty. :P I have a great head of hair so that helps. Ha I am not conceited I swear I just like myself a bit.
I voted C. I get told I'm attractive quite a bit, not daily, but enough where I'm convinced haha. I still think a LOT of people are better looking than me though, so it all balances out I guess.
Not very often and mostly from older people which is who I work around. It's usually something like, "You won't have a problem getting a gf" or something like that.
I really only get compliments from the opposite gender
And it's usually along the lines of being cute. It's better than being called ugly, but still not a compliment, really
I voted E, mainly because girls rarely ever tell guys "you're cute/sexy/hot" directly,
that is usually conveyed through "signals" of body language and such.
