my first (or second, I can't remember) long-term boyfriend was drop dead gorgeous. He had everyone after him, all the women and most of the men.
He was very young (so was I, but anyways), and he was catholic.
I had to teach him how to take a compliment. To say thanks, but no thanks. He had serious problems with men coming on to him and could not handle it. I told him to look on the bright side, what would it be like if you weren't turning people on?

but if on the other hand, you are getting abusive questions (go decide which are what), then you should give back 101%.
If they are rude and obnoxious then give it your best. I don't understand why they would be, but I'm getting used to it and am learning to be far more passive as I grow older.
perhaps they're jealous. That's my theory and it works for me.
The trouble is working out whether people are being honest.
