Sometimes I get complements from people that know I am a guy, i.e. people I have handed my male ID to. And sometimes I get complements from people that don't know I am a guy, i.e. people who have walked up behind me.
What I have noticed is it doesn't matter how I am dressed, people are far nicer than I ever gave them credit for prior to getting out and about.
I don't care why they are complementing me, I just love it whatever the reason.
Take the complement as she gave it.
One day I was complemented for my outfit by a stranger. And that's me without makeup. It was my choice of clothing and colors she said she was complementing. I smiled brightly and thanked her.
And that complement made my day.
Don't suppress who you are inside your heart. Let the world know how special you really are. Don't forget to smile

I agree that you are making too much of this. Accept the compliment.

What is it they say about looking gift horses in the mouth? Oh yes: Don't!

Jennifer,
I have experienced similar and if it is recognition well I accept it as a compliment.
I have difficulty picking sarcasm out of the comment sometimes and think to myself.....
Drat! Too slow!
With the disarming comment.
Work on your elegance,
and beauty will follow.
When I receive a compliment I have to question the persons eyesight because I feel that I rarely pass.

she's tell you honest compliment so don't thinking a lot for it I believe your look so lovely
Perhaps it's a generational thing--I have heard older ladies compliment GGs in this manner---no need to read that much into it. Chalk it up as a nice compliment.
Cheers,
Jill

Compliments are delightful whether I'm giving them or receiving them. I was greatly enfluenced by a couple of terrific encouragers in my life. I attempt to do the same. The results are so amazing.
