hahaha.. really?? but why would they roll their eyes if it was an honest compliment tho? wouldn't that be kinda... stuck up? or maybees that 's why they are stuck-up? ...haha...

let's say any kind of compliments, not just looks... do you say thank you in Vietnamese often?

Aaronly, yeah, I think that's a Nice way to respond too! icon_smile.gif

I don't mean it like that.. something like a broken smile is the usual response.. esp for people who hear that compliment all the time .. icon_smile.gif

herosword
I act like goof when this one girl said it to me. sure.gif It's just so weird when people are that up front. I'm used to telling girls they're pretty and they take it the right way, but when it was reversed on me I was a bit discombobulated. I really forgot what I said but I acted like fool is all that I remember.

I blushed mostly due to my shyness..But i do say thank you not to disrespect them or anything.

Never had a comment like that. If it is, its mostly UGLY. WHen they lie to themselves and say that i'm handsome, i would give them my dirty looks.

i always get commented on "my beauty"..im just think.." are you sh**ing me?..yeah right!" most of my freinds are tellin me my older sister is pretty before telling me in pretty. overall, my relatives and any other viet people always tell me that im the most prettiest in my family. they said i look better with make up then w/out make up..im like uhh..yeah right! and then when ti comes to freinds and complete strangers..my sister is the prettiest..or as they say..the hottest..ahahaha.. but when some1 comments on "my beauty" i just always say "yeah right but thanx."
