I suppose that it also depends on who is saying it. If it is a boss, co-worker, or client, and you aren’t a professional model, then this is a red flag. If it is more benign “your dress looks beautiful,” then “thank you” and subject change.
I have a co-worker who was always cute, and I’ve worked with her for several years. Then one day, she just… turned beautiful. I had to say something. So I told her, and she smiled and said, “So now I’m all grown-up beautiful instead of cute and pretty?” I was like, “Yes, exactly, and I just had to tell you that once.”
No awkward fallout. She didn’t think I was hitting on her or anything.
sometimes depending on the person you can get a sense of their intentions, sometimes it’s not worth giving attention to some people and then complain about how they act closer to you. Unfortunately, some people take advantage of education to almost forcibly impose themselves on a level of intimacy with others.
When there are not situations like this, a : thank you, followed by a sincere compliment about the person also like: “you are very kind”, “your style is very nice too”, I think is nice ✨
I’m a guy. No one ever calls me beautiful, but they say ‘very handsome” or something. Usually, they say very handsome young man, and I correct them that I’m fucking 40 now. I haven’t been young for at least a decade.

Thank you.

Thanks!
Usually, Thank you.
Unless, it’s some rando that’s making me uncomfortable. Then I don’t say anything and move on.
I had a co-worker say this to me. I ignored it and asked how his wife was doing.
Context is everything. It depends on the situation.
lolk
My wife is the only person who has ever told me that. I respond by giving her the big one.
Thank you! I was just about to ask my mirror for a second opinion, but now I feel validated!
Yyyyup… (Keep walkin’)
Laughter
Thank you, that’s sweet of you
I’m not but thanks
This is a question, B?
Punch them right in the mouth.
Thank you.
Usually thanks, if it’s a weird guy at a club I say I know, that usually puts them off fast
I’m not sure. I’m pretty bad at taking compliments. It also depends who’s giving the compliment
I still blush, then say thank you. Try to return a compliment if appropriate.
Me?
I’m a boy but it secretly makes me feel good and pretty 😇🥹😅
I just smile and say thank you ‘coz beauty fades, but kindness in how we receive words lasts longer.
¡Oh thank you!.
And I smile.
And I usually compliment some feature of the person, their hair, their clothes Etc.

Smile awkwardly and say thanks
Never been called that
“Awe thank you” (in my head—their just saying that to be nice to me)
Thanks, I inherited it
Never been called beautiful before 🤣🤪☠️
It is a difficult burden to bare
I think you should take the complement gracefully and say thank you.
It’s easier on you and the other person.
Hope it’s not from a predatory situation. Then you can ignore it.
I ain’t got no money.
Thank you
‘preciateya
Cheers m8
Never been called so I wouldn’t know
A deep, respectful bow is always a great way to show appreciation
