i have devoted much thought to the matter, and i have reaced a decision. the highest complement you can recieve is to be told by somebody that they would rather share an ice-cream sundae with you than with anybody else in the world. i hope everybody has somebody to share ice-cream sundaes with. if you don't, have a hug
if you do, have a hug anyway -James

i'll only accept if it's in falmouth though
if not i'll accept whenever i meet you
We are the music makers, We are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams;
We are the movers and shakers of the world for ever, it seems.

"you always brighten my day" is pretty good too. really makes you feel good about yourself.

As far as sharing ice-cream goes, I think i'd choose someone who doesn't like eating much, as opposed to someone I like
I stupidly shared icecream with someone I like at the weekend. It didn't last very long. I *almost* bought some sundae glasses yesterday evening, but then decided against it.

For me it's someone buying sorbet instead of their favourite ice cream just so they can share it with me

I disagree with everyone who says that 'I love you' is the best compliment. If someone says that to me I run a mile! Its a sure fire way to ruin an otherwise happy relationship and guys should know that!
The only exception is when its said by a best friend or family member.

*Sigh* For the ever-picky Flid's benefit: For me it's someone buying sorbet instead of their favourite ice cream just so they can share it with me because dairy-free ice cream is not available in that particular place on that particular occasion

Talking to my lady-friend left me in a really fluffy mood, so I thought I'd bump this.

the best compliment ive ever heard is 'i am better for having known you', it was in a movie version of George Elliot's Daniel Deronda, and when i heard it i thought, wow, that just about sums it up

When my kids do really good things or say something really sensitive ...That is my greatest compliment. To know that they really do listen even when it doesn't seem like they do.
Yep. The best compliment I ever had was from my then-teenage son who once said: "Thanks: you taught me how to think". Not long after I asked him whether I'd like a particular movie. He told me exactly whether I would, and why, based on his knowledge of my values, world view etc. Then he told me what HE thought of it based on his. The views were quite different. He could see both without losing his....
Ice cream with extra sugar just can't compete!

I'd say that the best compliment would be the non-direct sort; either over-hearing someone paying you a compliment to somebody else, or by imitation. ("imitation is the highest form of flattery")
People are too quick to pass off compliments to build rapport with others (subconsciously) and often expect one in return.
I know I look, feel and am good. I know I'm the bestest and I don't need validation
CHAMPION Can I have some Sundae now please?
Actually on that note, I have to concur and it would be a pretty good compliment if I were to share an ice-cream with someone (or eat off of the same plate and/or cutlery) because I have a thing about that!
Pull my pin out, roll me in to a room and see what happens

I must say that I got fluttered recently with so many compliments, starting with "very friendly and polite", "handsome, tall strong guy" to "making me feel good about myself"... and that from three different people of both genders within 2 weeks...
got no idea how I deserved it but it makes me

After four years at OCS NZ, I started a new job a few weeks ago (lots more money) and had colleagues from all over the country call and email and say how much they will miss me.
One even said I was the only 'human' person in the whole company! (I guess she wasn't including herself in that statement).
Very nice, and even better now I'm back again as the old company was a bunch of crooks and expected me to lie and bully their customers...
So got all the compliments all over again when I came back...
It's good for your soul to have so many people say nice stuff to you...

I love lucid flattery. When someone says something they really mean but without putting it in context or phrasing it right.
ie: My friend Heather looked at my belly and said "I have fat envy, if I had a belly like yours I would probably be able to shimmy properly."
BrilliantI'm also a big fan of cheesy lines, but only if they are meant. You get some cheesy people using cheesy lines, that just doesn't work.

Sometimes the best compliment is when somebody you haven't seen in ages gets really excited to see you. They get that big smile on their face run up to you an give you a big hug.

I believe the best complements are ones not said, but shown. Like when you look at your paycheck at the end of the week and its 100$ over. Then you go to your boss, ask about it, and its not a mistake.
