I notice in British culture you really don't accept compliments well. In fact when you really like someone you insult them. Calling your brother smeg head as a term of endearment for example. Do you call your loved ones insulting nicknames? |

I can take a genuine compliment when it's said to me.
On media sites like this though i don't. It's just something most spew out to as many as they can and hopefully they will get a leg over out of it!!! |

I (m) give my lady compliments all the time but she has a special filter that stops her believing them. I do call her my cum slut though, and she likes that!  |

Yeah, it's a peculiar trait.... We're more comfortable giving them than receiving. And using our fabled sense of humour to give a compliment without it sounding like one, as you describe.
Floro has yet to accept a compliment from me, she usually calls me names instead!
Both of you are gorgeous though, different, but gorgeous. |

My son said i looked like a grisly bear the other day and he calls me tubbs, from the league of gentlemen.
I dont get that many compliments, if someone on here says i look nice or they like my pics, i say thanks, but if they say i look beautiful i tell them im not, im just ordinary. |

I can take a compliment and I give them easily too.
I can generally tell by messages guys send whether it's genuine or not. All of us ladies get the 'your absolutely stunning, are you available to meet' and I expect most of us are rather cynical about the sincerity of those kind of messages |

from what I have gathered over the 18 years i have lived in The UK its the insincerity that annoys people with compliments like this. Im forever getting the piss taken over the whole "have a nice day" thing but lighten up people. Its only a verbal smile. .. it doesn't hurt anyone |

also remember when a man has,
Full balls, he has an empty head,
morals and common sense go out the window, and he will say whatever he thinks someone wants to hear to have an orgasm... |

i agree however do you think the same applies to a woman if they need to get off. |

of course it does. You can't use compliments as your gauge of your value but they are nice all the same  |

I dont believe any compliments I receive on here. And I have also been called "baby girl" on here which is an instant annoyance and turn off. I'm 43 years old for goodness sake.

So where are the ladies who do believe "Fab crap" (insincere flattery given by men with full balls, as manrider states)?
Apparently this turns gargoyles into Divas  .

If a woman only receives compliments online regarding her looks and/or figure and rarely offline, then she can safely assume the persons giving them only want to get between her legs
If she regularly receives them offline then she can accept with good grace any online compliments she may receive |

There is a fantastic book called "Watching the British" by Kate Fox an Anthropologist. It goes into the hidden rules of British behaviour. Hilarious read starts of with her doing an experiment and bumps into everyone in the street. The Brits tend to say sorry when its not their fault. Compliments are another topic in the book so is buying rounds in a pub |

I am so going to read that one of my favourite authors is Bill Bryson. He is a kindred spirit. It was ultimate culture shock when I moved here from my southern American culture and I will never adjust to some of your ways. My attitude towards compliments does not make me naive.. its just not the British attitude. |

I am terrible at accepting compliments in all aspects of my life. A close female friend says I have compliment force field around me to repel any and all compliments.
I'm working on it.
I'm good at giving them but they are only given with sincerity.

I think in our culture we struggle with compliment receiving. I used to be quite bad at it (f) but am getting better.
Have to say we have to take them in the context/surrounding they are in. For instance on here i would assume an ulterior motive if someone looked at my pic and said i had a fab pussy, however when on a meet and the guy said it i was like ooooh thanks  , i mean he'd actually seen/experienced it....

" Can you take a compliment?"
Certainly!
"Ben your Egg on toast is awesome!" I could take that sure!
But...
"Ben your the best fuck ever, let's go again!" That could be hard to take, I might get like really pissed off! |

Know better than too have my head turned by some of the compliments given out on here

I'm one who finds it hard to accept compliments about myself, as in the physical aspects, but more so when it is done face to face . I don't know why, I feel odd and don't know how to respond. Receiving a compliment via message on here is OK though as it feels OK to simply say thank you. Am I odd?
You don't need to answer that one  |

I find I can take a compliment but then feel the urge to downplay it... Like if someone says they like my dress I am quick to call it old or cheap or immediately volunteer additional information about where I got it etc. I need to learn to just say thanks! |

The qualification means you haven't taken the compliment. You are suffering from the same force field that surrounds me. |

I appreciate a compliment. its always nice to hear but a string of compliments from one person with no other real conversation makes me uncomfortable and turned off. |
