    I second that. I got complimented on my chest with lots of people in the same room. It was embarrasing.

    Hey, does my ego look small to you? Inflate it!
    Leave some shards under the belly
    Lay some grease inside my hand
    It's a sentimental jury
    And the makings of a good plan

    If it's a serious comment, then alone. If it's something lighthearted, then with other people, because I can come up with a snappy comment that boosts my ego even further.

    It depends... if it's a customer telling me i did a good job or great service (i'm a waitress) then i'd prefer it in front of my wench of a manager, but anything else in private cause i don't handle compliments well and usually blush and don't know what to say back, but i'm getting better at it though. I very much enjoy the stupid grin a compliment will put on my face.
    It doesn't matter what any of us is looking for,we'll never find it,
    because it's not even there

    In private, so I can make out with them later. Okay no not really, well...maybe.

    I don't really like compliments, but I hear them a lot when I'm alone with someone.

    I thought I had posted in the thread not just voted on the poll doh thats what I get for being sleepy and distracted.

    I prefer my compliments in private. At work I sometimes get called stuff like "charming young man" and the like by old women and I just smile and say "well some of us have got it all " however sometimes I get stuff like and this is a quote from a woman I served "Wow, you don't like foot ball and yet don't mind doing sport and you keep fit. Gods gift to women is what you are...the perfect guy" I got highly embarassed by this comment but after a small "wth just roll with it" thought I simply came right back out with a witty comment. She wasn't being sarcastic either which made that worse!!

    Personal compliments outside of work are best kept private because when a girl talks to me and says stuff like "you sound like hugh grant but better" I end up blushing like mad and not quite knowing what to say.

    Hhhmmm I've got many compliments over the years (mainly for my ayes) and it always happens in front of others so I guess I have no problem at all.
    My problem is that I don't know the right way to do a proper compliment and I'm a little shy too (really bad compination I tell ya)

    Either is fine, but why someone would compliment me, confuses me. What's there to compliment? xD

    i'm giving up,
    on the entire human race....

    You should have a better opinion about yourself you always must be confident it's a nice feeling.
    You know, if you don't like yourself then no one else will like you, think about it.

    Alone would be nicer, as its more intimate and stuff, but for me thats worse xD I blush extremely easily, so probably in public so I don't feel under pressure to compliment the person back or whatever. I dunno :/

    I don't really have a preference, most of the time compliments don't mean a lot to me x3 But a few times they do, coming from certain people.
