If you disagree with their statements you risk making a conversation about the statements, which sounds painfully awkward to me.
Poke them on Facebook
It really was

"I appreciate the kind words" - then redirect back to the topic at hand
Just say “I’m a male model and I work for the CIA.” Then shrug and Blue Steel them.
Best answer on here. Never explain any further than that. Let yourself be shrouded in their imagination.
Start unbuttoning your shirt. Give them a show. If that makes you uncomfortable, then just give me a show.
Response: btw what’s the ethics hotline number ? Jk or am I ?
You can try to play it humble by telling them that it’s a face filter.

Yes 12 years ago.
What else is new? If you’re a male consultant and you’re not attractive sorry to break it to you but you won’t be on any client sites lol.
How true is this honestly (looking for SM/AP/P inputs)?
I do not receive compliments on my looks like OP, and if I self-gauged I’m average at best.
I’ve been thrown on project teams with very attractive individuals and it clearly stuck out. I was like wow this team is very good looking (even the male AP/P were deemed to be handsome). Forced me to visit a salon for the first time at the age of 31 😂

What happened to good ole compliments - why do you need to overthink this? Just say thank you and go about your day! Stop making simple compliments about flirtations and political correctness. Live a little, and enjoy the compliments 🙂
I think it’s not really a compliment. Systemically, there is something wrong here. It’s a power play and it may cause hurt feelings in the long run. No one wants to be part of a culture that hurts feelings.
Yes, I’m being sarcastic.
This post is weird
How about Thank you and Move On?
Yeah I’m curious what kinda compliments OP is getting that saying “Thank You” isn’t enough. 🤔
Drop a pic tho 👀
What made you feel uncomfortable with getting a compliment?
The right question in this thread. Sounds like it should be a simple compliment that you say thank you to and feel good about the fact that you showered prior to going on camera. Why did it make you uncomfortable/make you overthink this, OP? Was it creepy?
“All this right here? Premeditated partna”
That seems weird and verging on the inappropriate… who are these coworkers?
Turn off your video in protest. 😂
“Oh haha thanks” then keep it moving.
