I am a college dude who discovered TRP in April. At the time, I was skinny-fat, moderate acne, & a long shaggy hair cut. I decided to go monk mode for the summer, lifting/workouts 4-5x per week, got a short haircut, improved skin care routine, & also got a decent tan going. Since I got back to school last week, I've already gotten several compliments on my looks (mainly about the hair because it was pretty bad beforehand) from people who knew me last year & noticed the improvements.

The issue is I'm simply not used to getting these compliments, as I haven't received compliments on my looks for most of my BP life. How do I respond in a RP way that projects confidence? Just a "thanks" doesn't seem like enough for some reason. Any thoughts & reasoning behind it would be helpful.
