You: You're right. I'm a cruel, cruel man... what's wrong with you for associating with me? (said playfully with a wink)
The idea is, you're maintaining the fun frame and not buying into her compliment bait (So I look ugly without glasses?!).
In general, I have learned to stay away from physically complimenting women. It's lead to far too many train-wreck conversational threads. Just my thoughts.
