| I'm a guy. It's never occurred to me that I should get a compliment in return. |

| You are probably self-confident. |

| Another person in the "thank you" column. No need to over think these things. |

| I used to say it, and mean it, quite often to women. Then I found out saying it made me a "beta" so now I say it perhaps once a year. |

| "Thank you" is a proper response to a compliment. |

| SO he isn't complimenting you he's fishing for compliments. He sounds like a lot of work. |

OP here. The guy said the same applies to apologies among couples or friends. He expects both sides to apologize.
For some reason this whole discussion/dispute makes me not want to see him anymore even as friends. He seems really insecure. |

| I think the only polite, appropriate comment is to say "Thank you, David!". A return compliment sounds disingenuous because it is forced, and might make the compliment giver feel you only are saying it "to be nice". Self deprecation is awkward for the person who just gave you the compliment. A smile and a thank you and maybe a "and how are you, David? It's great to see you today" if you feel like it. |

+1. And to hell with them if their name isn't David. |
