Yeah, the Genie Granted My Wish
When someone tells you how attractive you are, tell them that you got your good looks from a genie. Of course, you could also give the credit to your parents, but that's not as silly.

Why?
This one can catch people off guard. If someone says that you're attractive, ask them why. They'll either stumble over their words and won't be able to come up with an answer, or they'll say something incredibly sweet that'll make you want to hug them.
If you're afraid to use any of these comments, then simply say, "Thank you!" It's short, it's sweet, and it's to the point. Are you good at accepting compliments or do you get embarrassed over them?
