That makes sense, that you prefer compliments that are rare. I think when I was younger and not really together, appearance-wise, appearance compliments were so rare I didn't really believe them, they just didn't match my self-image at all. Somebody complimented me on my diplomacy recently, and I was like, really, me, diplomatic?! But I think it's a good compliment because it doesn't just reinforce something I'm already confident of.
I do wonder why you get few appearance compliments; possibly it fits my theory that people don't compliment men's appearance very much in general, but there could of course be other factors.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
