I didn't used to take compliments very well. because my self esteem was tied somewhat to my success with ladies (of which was never gonna happen, even if they were interested) I felt I wasn't attractive. But as I get used to being myself, it's nice to hear when someone thinks I'm good looking yeah :)
 
I have that lovely distrust everything and everyone head set when first meeting new people so when I get compliments on looks my first reaction in my head is something like "I wonder what he meant by that?" or "was that a dig"?

From people I know I just smile and leave it at that.
My psych says I'm showing real progression! ;)(!)
 
I have never really considered myself attractive so far and had never received any compliments about it, except from my family (which might be attributed to pity, damnit --').

Thus when I joined JUB and was considered at least appealing to some JUBbers, it's kinda hard for me to take it.

The same happens when a new friend said I'm appealing. Kinda hard for me to take it as well.

Actually, now that I think about it, I'm not good with any types of compliments --'
 
I should add that my post was about my physical appearance. I was a shy, chubby, acne-ridden teen so I still carry that with a chip on my shoulder and I don't think its something you can fully ignore. Lots of people compliment on my personality and I take it in stride.
 
I didn't know I was considered attractive. However, I'll take every compliment I can get. They are few and far between...
 
Interesting responses that most hate compliments and feel extremely unattractive. Very interesting....
 
I can't rcall ever recieving a compliment about how I look from anyone other than my mother or sister. Several people have said that I looked German. In my early teens one girl said I could almost be cute, but she was drunk at the time...and a slut - maybe she was just being mean. I suspect I sometimes sound handsome over the phone.
 
It makes no difference to me. I agree with the cheezy mantra "you're only beautiful as you feel".

As long as I basically feel good, I can give a crap if anyone think's i'm attractive.

The Ladies @ BeautifulPeople.com voted me in 5yrs ago..Because of their acceptance along with a small user-access fee of $25 dollars a month I feel more and more Attractive every time I see my statement...
 
If someone gave me a compliment of being cute/attractive/beautiful/whatever thing along those lines ... I would simply have to assume they were jokeing LOL

no, i don't like it. i rarely get compliments anyways but i'll say this in regards to not liking compliments about physical appearance. i try to stay away from that whole mentality of looks being everything because it's not. you know, i live in a world where people judge you for how you dress, your skin color, your hair, your height and basically what they see and people really go about acting like they really know you based off of that. as a black male, i've seen how people react where you have women holding their purses, police following me outside my house, and the whole nine and i'm not even a criminal. so i try to stay away from that because i don't think it's fair to judge anybody by how they look. there's way too many people that use that whole "appearance is everything" bullshit and you see a lot of ugliness and negativity involved in that. you should get to know me first before you judge my appearance whether you like it or not. so i try to stay away from that or people who think like that.

Hahhahahahahahahhahahah. I'm not going to be able to dissect this like should because of my computer damage and lack of keyboard. But damn. I wish I could empathise. If I wasn't relegated to my tablet I would have a full reply.

Ok. I voted that it's mostly a good thing because it can lead to creepy stalker situations and possible self confidence issues in a significant other if they feel that you are more attractive...and I've ended up in both situations unfortunately.
 
It's hard to listen to other compliments when I am busy paying my own compliments to myself.
 
When I had an extremely poor self-image, I treated compliments with incredulity. Given how rare they are, I really wish that back then I was able to see that people were being genuine, and I wish that I had been able to use their words as a motivator to work towards a healthier, happier mind. Alas, I was quick to dismiss their kindness as artificial, and continued to maintain my diminutive sense of self-worth.

At one point, I just got so sick of feeling ashamed of myself and my body that I went out, picked up a set of dumbbells and started working out at home. Many moons have passed, and I still don't feel as if I have a fantastic body, but I'm exponentially more confident now than I was beforehand, and compliments from others even have the capacity influence the way I perceive my own body. For instance, I'd never really thought my butt was anything to look at, but looking back on it, the last guy I was intimate with couldn't keep his hands off it, and I've received a number of compliments about it here. Now I feel really good about my butt and would even consider it one of my best physical attributes.

As for the physical appearance of the person who finds me attractive, by being the type of individual to give out unsolicited compliments, they automatically appeal to me. Not necessarily in a sexual way, but I'll always enjoy the company of nice people, and I think it would be a terrible shame for me to use how attractive I find them to differentiate between 'niceness' and 'creepiness'.
