Default muy comparon?

I was under the impression a comparon is a show off type of person. Someone told me "llegaste tu muy comparon" and I just don't get what they mean by this.

Could mean you're well dressed and looking good or driving a kool car or with an attitude, or it might mean the literal meaning, that you are showing off.
It depends very much on the context, the way it was said, the circumstances, if it was a joke or the person was angry.
Too many variables to say for sure, but I have heard it before in a joking fashion.

It's a woman's prerogative to keep you confused and wondering.

so true... however, the same woman just told me she meant that I came back and I'm too cool to talk to anyone, that I must have met another girl in DR. I can neither confirm nor deny this rumor... haha
