 |
|
| This will meen a lot for a girl because this is often were they can tear apart the confident from the people who act it, and this is simple if a girl in fact if anyone compliments you it can be about your looks, the way you dress, the way you act anything positive about you just reply by saying thank you, thanks or cheers don’t say yer I know or yer thanks this sounds arrogant and you don’t want to be arrogant in this situation I will bring this up further down, just remember to stay cool and relaxed when taking a compliment that’s real confidence if you start getting all agitated and nervous the girl will know. |

Well it really depends, first time you meet a girl, yeah keep it simple, if you've met her a few times and she keeps giving you compliments there is a better way I usally reply; Awww thanks, want a lolipop?
incase she reply's yes then just smile, Lolipop could be something on your body after all  all depends on how you see it

If you do this a bit it is ok, but if you do this every time she compliments you, then you are being insulting by not acknowledging her. Would you like it if you complimented someone and every time, they just acted as if you hadn't said anything? |

You are correct rye lee. I probably should have stated the context in which I would act neutral or like I didnt notice it. I only act like that around a girl that I have just met or if I know the girl is tossing a shit test at me. A lot of girls will through shit test compliments like crazy to see if they can control you and you gotta act like you dont give a crap. If I have already gotten a lot of good rapport with a girl or Im dating the girl then of course I will say things like "thanx baby" or "your so thoughtful". |

| I sometimes just say thanks but on occasion I might throw in something like -'Thanks -but you know compliments won't get you in my pants -you got to try harder than that' In a CF way. But it does depend on the moment. |

I think this thread is a bit unnecessary. There are many ways to take a compliment, and 99% of them will suffice just fine.
So unless you are like "HELL YEAH BITCH IM THE FUCKING MAN I KNOW IM HOT YOU DONT NEED TO TELL ME SHIT YOU STUPID SLUT!" I don't think you really need to even worry about this. |

Brilliant post, jewels. I agree with you 100%. This is what I do from now on. Its amazing how the simplest response is also the best response. |

What about the guys that are thinking that they shouldn't acknowledge compliments, or should just blow them off. They should know that doing that all the time is a bad idea and that you should definitely accept compliments, just be humble about it, or at least a bit cocky/funny when you straight up take the credit.
A lot of guys just say, "No, no, I don't deserve it." and then the girls agree with them. This isn't unnecessary, not everyone understands this. |

If a guy didn't respond to my compliment, I'd probably think he didn't hear me and I'd repeat it lol.
Any response could work unless it is cocky, which is a total turnoff. |

During the attraction phase it's important to go C&F in response to compliments. But make sure you accept the compliments. This is because a simple "Thank You" is boring and tends to be a convo killer if not threaded away from immediately.
During comfort, you should be more sincere and gracious, also rewarding her for her thoughtful remark by making one of your own about her. So really do appreciate what she is saying about you, even if you can tell she's just trying to get on your good side. Here you mirror and reciprocate, and anything nice she does for you, reward her. Doesn't mean you completely drop the C&F, but you really do need to show her you are a decent human being who knows how to handle compliments and gifts in your life.
