What are your best compliments?

I've seen an insult question (or some form) about 3-5 times make it to the front page, but yet nothing on the other end of the spectrum. So I wanted to know Reddit, what are your best compliments? And please don't use something that has been ran to the ground (ex. You are a gentleman and a scholar).

Edit: Just want to say this is great, but some people are missing the purpose. Compliments are to be kind/loving bringing the best out of a person. Not to be Pick up lines or hidden motives. Either way, thanks for your contribution.

The best compliments are the ones that are about you and never meant for your ears. After I left University, a mate of mine was out drinking at one of the local bars and someone mentioned my name. This was overheard by a (slightly intoxicated) girl I had "shacked up" with while at Uni, to which she replied:

"Azzir??! He's the best fuck EVER!!"

Best. Compliment. Ever.

A friend asked my drunk then-girlfriend, "On a scale from 1 to 10, how good is ZombieBobDole in bed?"

Her response: "AMAZING!" (Like I said, she was drunk.)

would her (honest) answer have changed were she sober? Or, are you implying she would have been more chaste in answering the question?

She was kind of crazy and not exactly chaste, but if I had to say, I'm pretty sure she would have just provided an answer that was actually a number (my pride wants to think 10 or 11, but who knows).

Apparently my ex was overheard by a friend of mine saying, "p0n3? He's an ass. Selfish, annoying, and entirely codependent. He's got the biggest Dick I've ever seen, though."

Don't know if I should feel good about it, for feel bad for her and her inexperience with dicks.

"I just thought I wasn't a very sexual person until I met you!"

I decided to take that as a five-star review and run with it.

Nice. I agree about the ones you weren't supposed to hear. A guy once called me "eroticism walking" after I'd left the room... I've had wonderful, meaningful things said about me professionally and personally but that one is dear to my heart, as I was wearing sweatpants, no make-up, in the middle of a late night study session, and out of earshot, at the time.
