I will be happy, but I will say that I am not too handsome, because I think I am not.^^
I will laugh and gently joke about it ^^ I'm a high-functioning nerd and look like one.
I will typically just say "yes" or "thanks" If it is not relevant to the general conversation, I will typically not return the compliment.
My wife has uttered something like me looking handsome, which does carry some credibility. But other than that, I think people just say I look tall/strong/healthy, whatever.
Hulk:
I don't get why anyone downvoted this... we got a downvote fairy, folks. SOUND THE ALARM!
Here's a +1 to balance. Bacon.
"You have bad taste."
Who the hell falls for me? I'm uglier than a chicken salad left to fester for 30 days untouched. Oh, wait... my wife. Never mind.
But usually, I return the favor. "Oh, you're so handsome. The hair coming out of your mole is really spectacular."
Scandinavian:
@Paul. The hairy mole could easily lead to a serious man-crush.
No one has called me handsome, but when they call me 'beautiful' i say 'thankyou, but in my country, I'm quite ugly'
They always look a bit scared then
I stop for a moment... tilt my head slightly and look them in the eye and then whisper....
Wo zhi dao. - I know.
Then I start licking my lips and winking at them like a having a nervous break down and start doing the funky chicken on the ground while singing "Backstreet's back".
But that's after about 5 bottles of Bai jiu, normally I just say thanks because it doesn't really seem to mean much in China.
JacobJohn:
You know, I have curly hair and some people ask me whether it's natural or not. Then they say: "I like your hair, so beautiful". Then I answer: "I like it too". Then we laugh about it.
I wonder myself what does she want from me, I say thanks and leave away.
I saw thanks and akwardly ignore the comment, it doesnt mean much is China, im white so by default chinese think im handsome. But why woman sure loves it when people call me handsome
I smile and wink at her. Yes even an ugly one. Some others girls are to tempting . If a guy (it does happen in this country) I nod and keep going.
I feign a practiced and surprised modesty, then put on my clothes, pay and leave.
Just go with the casual Han Solo "I know", and move on.
LIsten, dearest NicholasBS, don't ever, ever believe that they are saying that to you, my dearest. They are probably talking about the person behind you or to your left or right. Sorry for the candor. Chinese girls generally don't like the extra hairy, olive-oil colored skin types. Just a little girlie fact, for you, dearest.
