You are out in public with a girl you are seeing, and an older woman (maybe 15-30 years older than you) stops you both and tells you that your girl is beautiful and that you should hold onto her because shes a keeper.
The first time this happened to me, I didn't think of anything clever to say, and went with the obvious (and possibly/probably beta) response of thanking her and agreeing with her that she was beautiful. Thinking back, I questioned myself on whether I took a page out of the Complement and Cuddle playbook.
On the other hand, I could not think if a good tease or neg that wouldn't imply some kind of insecurity on my own part. When it happened again a couple weeks later, I was still unprepared. By agreeing with the older lady, was I inflating the girls ego and putting her on a pedestal?
But any kind of attempt to think of something clever that would imply I thought she was lucky to be with me just seemed to be off.
A third possible solution would be some sort of agreeing and amplifying to a ridiculous level, like thanking her and then telling her I'm taking her to a photoshoot because shes a supermodel and I need spending money.
I'm sure this scenario has happened to multiple people here, what do you think is a good response?
