what do you do? lol :crackup: but seriously...is there any game to this or is it a simple thank you... like for example if they compliment you on your looks, what do you say in response
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
When females compliment you...

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I like to default to cliche'd oldies but goodies for this type of thing...
Chick: You're awesome.
KX: I know.
Chick: *giggles while panties get soaked*

It depends on the chick.
I think there is time and place for game, but sometimes good old fashion manners is the way to go. It depends on how long I've know her, if the compliment is sincere, etc. But you can still add a joke, and/or compliment in her back.
Physical compliments (you can use this one for just about any physical compliment):
HB: You have the most beautiful blue eyes. (I get this one a lot)
Me: Aww, how sweet, thank you. We'd have some good looking children, huh?
(and maybe I'll add) Wanna get started? (and maybe, if you're in a restaurant or bar, pretending to motion to waiter) Check please!
Personality compliments:
HB: You're such a sweetheart.
Me: (smile) Thanks, just don't tell anyone, you'll ruin my reputation.
HB: You're so funny!
Me: Oh gee thanks, clowns are funny too. Are you calling me a clown? Fine, then you're the bearded lady.
Remember-this is kind of an important phase. If she's complimenting you, you're on your away, you're already winning her over. Don't screw it up by being too ****y.

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

It totally depends on the type of compliment.....I use the logic of the method of that first poster there a lot...

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

That's a cool answer, I like it. But what I wanted to touch on is that, sometimes, these aren't compliments.
I was with some folks a few weeks ago and I noticed this one girl in the group had a habit of stating her itinerary just about every time she was planning something with someone. Along the lines of, "Hey, we should go to that concert! Let's see, Saturday, I'm going shopping, and then visiting my aunt, so after that we could hook up..."
So after a couple of those, I pointed out that's what she does, in a funny way. Everyone laughed. She said, "You're so funny!", which at the moment I thought was not a bad thing.
But it struck me odd at the time. It was just the way she said it. Anyway, that's what kept it on my mind and I thought about it, and I think it was her way of saying, "You're such an a$$hole." Of course, it just reflects on her inability to laugh at herself.
Come to think of it, I've heard variations of that one before. "You're TOO funny!" is another one. I don't think that's a compliment. I think it's also woman-speak.
If they're laughing and have big grins and leaning forward and touching your arm when they say that, then it's probably a compliment. You have to watch the body language to decipher it.
