definitely C. all compliments are great (unless they are sleazy or something) but my favourite are about my actions, it's great knowing that i pleased someone with what i did and i always love hearing that someone likes or admires something i've done

Not to be full of myself, put I've been complimented on looks and smarts most of my life, to the extent that I just blow it off since I'm used to hearing it (actions the least though)...
I was raised by a very unsupportive family...if I received an A as a child I was yelled at for not getting an A+. So now that I'm back in school and heading towards law school, its dificult for me to hear all the "congratulations on your dean's list" from my husband. But it makes me feel good that I have attained that every semester since going back, and my hubby with his bachelor's degree, medical degree, and 2 master's degrees has not had as many dean's lists as I have. He likes to constantly remind me of it, that he's proud of my accomplishments, and it makes me proud of myself too, which is not something that comes naturally to me!

All I want to be complimented for is being me. I guess that may fall under C. My looks aren't anything outstanding. My wife says I'm good looking but I think she may be a little biased. lol I'm a long ways from Twiggy's twin brother. lol My mind...I believe in the old statement, "it is better to keep mouth closed and thought a fool than to open mouth and remove all doubt." I have opinions on topics and some are pretty strong. I just don't push the subject much. That's why I say C. I like to do things for people. I'm the one who will go over and help a neighbor if they need it. I'm liable to stop and help with that flat tire on the road. But I don't care if all that is noticed or not. It's noticed by me and the "Man upstairs". That's all that matters.

Definitely my actions.

Looks are too meaningless, though I am not deficient in that area. Though I enjoy that kind of attention, there's nothing really gratifying about it. Being told I am smart, for some reason, doesn't matter to me. My actions define me, so that type of feedback matters the most, to me.

I am confident enough in my actions and my smarts to not "need that compliment from others". However at the age of 41, it's nice to be complimented for my looks. It's nice to know that you still have the ability to get a man to say, wow, she's hot.

I'd probably have a heart attack if I ever got a compliment.
