"Wow, you are becoming a man"

[mangotot]

'Are you woman enough for me?'. Wait for a reply and transition to other conversation.

Any time I encounter a "compliment" that could be either a true compliment, a tease, a put-down, or whatever.. I give a relaxed "Well that's very kind of you to say," and then I change the subject.

It's just kind of a nothing reply, but it's unassailable, doesn't make you sound like a douche or a dork, and prevents you from standing there dumbfounded.

If you can come up with a witty reply (none of the above posts offered one, no offense), then go with that. But I think mine is a good backup if you can't.

If the person then replies, "I was just kidding," or "I was being sarcastic," you say, "Oh, I see," and then again change the subject.

If there is a possibility at all they are trying to put you down the last thing you want to say is "Well that's kind of you to say".
