Handsome

An alarming amount of males at the office have regular habits of telling me that I'm handsome.  The females don't generally come and say this but, for some reason, the guys seem to be very comfortable with it.

This happens on any day when I dress up a bit more than usual like if I'm making a presentation.  A couple weeks ago the comment was made just because I had gotten a haircut.  One of my coworkers that I've spent time with to improve his English came to me and said he noticed I got my haircut.  I confirmed it and mentioned my hair was getting a bit long and out of control so I had to trim it.  He nodded his head and with some stuttering and stammering said 'it's good. and you are just so handsome'.  

Don't get me wrong, I will take the compliment but it's just so unusual to get this attention and back home, most guys don't really say that to each other.  I still don't know how to respond to it, usually I just laugh and probably turn a bit red in the face.  I guess I need to get used to this.    

At least it's better than last year when one male coworker said to me.. 'Dave, your voice..it's so sexual.'
