I think any compliment should be enjoyed. 

Life is too short and can be cruel

A sincere compliment from a man or a woman holds the same weight for me.

Compliments should not be judged through a gendered lens. Clear and simple.

a sincere compliment will be accepted by me anytime!

It's not PC, but I think most women value a compliment on their appearance more from a man than from another woman (unless he's a creep or she's someone who hates you and you know it kills her to say it).

The compliments I get validate my choices in what I'm wearing. I've had women and men say that I look like a movie star. That may seem over the top, but it makes me believe I'm doing something right.

I dont look for or care if I get compliments but if so its nice from anyone. For me its nice to get compliments from the people I care about most, i.e. my husband and my family.

This also reminds me of what they used to say. You know youre older when you run into someone you havent seen in a while, and they say you look good. (In comparism to what? Bad? lol). When we are in our 20s or 30s people dont say that. They say something different than oh you look good..

My grandmother is the only one who ever told me I looked like a movie star (when I was 13).  It kind of makes the point that not all compliments are equal.  I could have looked like the Hunchback of Notre Dame and she would have said something nice!

I'll take one from either but I'd rather have one from a man.........
