Just give a quick "oh, thank you" in a pleasant, surprised tone. Comes off as gracious, but not conceited. Unless it's something you can't help, then it's more charming if you act like it's a skill in a cheeky way. I.e "wow you're tall"
"Thanks I've been working on it"
It's worth noting, you'll come off as more awkward if you try to fire back a compliment yourself. It came organically to them, and isn't necessary to mirror, unless you feel like they're fishing.

That was really well said!
A word of advice. Either compliment them back or better simply say Thank you. Thank you is the best responce to a compliment.
"G-Go Fuck yourself" Hasn't been landing as of late. Thank you sounds like an option, i may, might, consider. ;)

It was hammered into me during childhood that thank you is the only polite response to a compliment.
I still think it's rude not to say it. And I absolutely hate it when people say "I know."
Do I hate the answer-my-own-question format of explaining things? Passionately
I totally relate to this meme.

Brace yourselves...
You are both good people and the world is better off with you in it! 🥰
Just don’t make a big deal about it. A simple ‘Thanks’, or, if you’re feeling really strongly about it, ‘Thanks so much’. That’s it, don’t go anywhere else with it or call it out with some special recognition. Unless it’s sexual favors, that’s cool too.
This, but even that can become weird some how. I have a friend who sometimes said I was handsome and I replied with a "thank you" every time, but one time did my friend feel it was enough and told me off by saying "you only say thanks!" I was unsure what to answer and said "well I don't believe it but I am thankful for you to think so" never got a "you are handsome" ever again after that xD
Great post. Sorry to bother you
this reminds me of what i like about public voting.. that one guy who upvoted my stupid comment that nobody else liked, two days after i made it.. i go visit that guy's profile and upvote a couple of his, or at least check out what that person is concerned about..
that seems aweful. I don't want someone to randomly upvote some of my stuff because I found something they put was up voteable. It should be more organic than that.
