What do you say when complemented?

[bignbadn]

Guys - I'm not American so maybe I'm not as 'able' to take a complement as some of you maybe.
But here is a dumb question -
how do you respond when either in the gym or out in public you get complements and or that look of 'oh my gawd look at the size of him' type thing?
I just get really embarassed and have always tried to hide my size as much as possible but since it is so hot at the moment I've taken to wearing short sleeves about the place and I'm constantly getting stopped by passersby, people at the checkout, drivers etc and asked the dumbest questions like 'how long did it take you to look like that?', 'do you take drugs?', 'how much can you bench?', 'how big are your arms?' etc etc and getting lots of complements from people but really really publicly so you feel like a right twat if you don't have some kind of gracious, witty comeback along with a thankyou.
What do you do?
and yeah - it does make me lie awake all night worrying about it...

Hi

When they ask me: ' what is what you take to become like that? '. I answer: Something of protein, amino acids and creatina '. They turn to ask me: only it?. And I answer: ' If, it's all'.

I think that it is a sauciness to do these questions, because if you see an woman who has operated on the Breasts, your you do not go and you ask her for the details of his operation.

bignbadn you must be a brit right? Just tell them you work out for 4 hours and eat 3 dozen eggs a day.

Yes, the constant compliments we Americans have to endure has made us somewhat immune to the whole thing...

Actually, I get embarrassed. Compliments of any sort seem to do that to me.

What is this supposed to mean? I thought everyone hates americans?

 

[Mavy]

Hahahaha. Why not say thank you. The hard work has paid off.

 

[Mini Viper]

Mavy - agreed, just keep it simple!

 

[bignbadn]

chaos -
yeah of course we all hate you.
But beyond that I just mean't that we over here in blighty are a little more reserved I suppose (yes I am a brit) and get rattled easily when complements are paid. Silly really but that's how it goes - stiff upper lip and all that my good man.
Right oh -
anyhow I have decided what I shall say in reply now -
'why thankyou for your remark and may I say I eat 3 dozen eggs and train 4 hours a day and holy shit - you should see how big my cock is!!!!'



hehehe

Ok, we have good rapport with the UK, except for those in Boston who arm the IRA.

Am I confused here, because those situations you describe sure aren't complements.. it's more like someone at a zoo watching a rare species of animal.

How big are you?

 

[bignbadn]

bout 300 pounds but 17% bodyfat

 

[bignbadn]

oh and I'm 6' 4 so not that big really ...damn skinny genetics

 

[40butpumpin]

Hahahaha. Why not say thank you. The hard work has paid off.

excellent, i like that, simple and honest. i've been getting a lot of these lately and i've definitely been caught off guard by it. but the truth is that all comments are not as easily addressed as they can vary quite a bit despite the fact that they're all meant to be flattering. i also get embarrassed easily.

I was taught this years ago be a very intelligent woman:

If someone compliments you - say 'Thank you.'

Don't brush off the compliment. Don't deminish it. Don't say you don't deserve it.

The only polite response is 'Thank you.'

It hard to do and it takes practice.

There it is... I too, generally, like to steer the conversation in the direction of my penis.
