Is there some sort of training you can undergo in order to have snappy comebacks and think off your feet? My main problem is that I'm doing a complete 180 from a social standpoint in my senior year of High School (coming from an awkward kid to an attractive artist) and faggots still want to try and keep me down (mostly popular kids who now feel threatened by me) talk shyt to me and I usually have no smart witty comeback and just get embarrassed. Preset responses to memorize don't really aren't preferred because you really can't expect when or what someone is gonna say about you. Can anyone help me out? I have a few popular friends, but I'm going to lose respect if I keep on letting these *******s walk all over me, and I've only done two days of school.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
My main problem is I can't think up witty stuff to say on the spot

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
IDK what it is, but I've always been very witty. I've always read a lot, spent time around witty people and I've always been into stand up comedy. I think all of these things have helped. But if you're not witty, you could always be really sarcastic. Like if someone's tryin' to be a badass just say something like "Wow, you're so cool, I wanna be just like you", in a sarcastic tone.
Not sure I can help you with what to say but try to keep things in perspective.
I know at your age it's near impossible to take advice - I mean really take advice - listen to it, hear it then follow it.
A year from now all of this crap will be totally meaningless. Play YOUR game. Don't let a few idiots ruin your time. If your friends think you're a goob because you don't try to run smack over a few morons, then they are idiots too.
Ignore the Aholes and keep after the good looking girls. If you're getting the girls, you won't need to argue with the dolts giving you crap. If you're getting the girls - people will flock to you - you'll be the man.
Seriously though - once you are out of high school you will forget all about this stuff. Once you're in college or out on your own working you can pick your friends and who you hang out with.

I think if you're a smart, intelligent person than being witty is pretty easy. So if you're dim witted I wouldn't try because you'll make yourself look like a fool. But I'm going to assume you're smart.
I'd say just make comments about things you see. Say whatever comes to your mind as long as it's mostly appropriate. Basically just make observational humor. If you want to see good examples I would definitely start to watch "Seinfeld". Pick up some of the DVDs or find the show on TV. That's the kind of humor I go for and it always works as long as people know you are making jokes.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
It's a state of mind. How do you see yourself? Do you take things seriously? Try intepreting things in a humourous way. BE witty. Think yourself as a witty person.
Yes, your are thinking about witty things to say all the time and seeing things in a lighter way so you ARE witty.Adam B said:IDK what it is, but I've always been very witty.

Wittyness is a form of creativity just like any other creative endeavor. Creativity can't be taught, it can only be honed. If you are nervous and insecure, it will stunt your ability to think on the spot. I'm sure once you become more comfortable in your own shoes, things will get better. Give it time, man.

You don't have to be witty bro.
Words are a poor man's attraction tool, and actions speak louder than words ever will.

On the other hand, if you really want to be considered 'funny', then spend more time practicing, more time talking, and more time around 'funny' people.
Practice, practice, practice.
