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.
"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.
My main problem is I can't think up witty stuff to say on the spot
- Thread starter Brighty
- Start date
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
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.

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
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.
