Sharpening Conversations Skills - Satire, Wits, Sarcasm and Snappy Responses

[Clark Kent]

Do the rest of you guys believe that having a great understanding and grasp of the English Language is a good way to have better conversations with people? I believe my sarcasm gets the laughs, but I've noticed I'm only good in a range of subjects that I know, not with a ALOT of subjects.

Can books, audios, DVDs and watching naturally sarcastic, intelligent and charming people showcase their skills, help you? They say, reading helps you have to have a better WELL-ROUNDED conversation with vocab, but what about being evasive, quick and snappy in your reponses?

All the while, how can we relate this to getting women and being that snappy guy with funny comebacks, with a good grasp of vocab?

Snappy comebacks are all about wit. I am pretty witty but did not have to practice to develop this so I have no idea where to start.

There's probably wit/public speaking/rhetoric training available, if, for example, you wanted to run for public office. Look up rhetoric, there's not a lot about wit but there's plenty about analyzing how politicians talk.
You could also check out NLP modeling to help with copying other witty people.

Conversation skills are important, but they aren't what gets you the girl. They're what gets a girl that's already banged you to fall in love with you. I've ****ed a few hot girls simply by saying "uh huh, yeah, cool, no way, oh really?" to their response to leading questions. It's really easy. Your level of physical attractiveness relative to her perceived level of physical attractiveness (this is joint to her self-esteem) and BARE MINIMUM non-verbal social skills are what gets you laid. If you're hotter than her own perceived level of physical attractiveness (lots of hot girls have low self-esteem, so this is how you see dorks with babes) and you aren't socially retarded, then odds are strong she'll wanna bang you. You didn't do jack**** except show up and say hi in this situation yet you got laid. I feel like this is how it always works.

There is this misconception in the ''seduction'' community that you can actively control whether or not a girl is interested in you sexually if you learn these social skills. That's a steaming heap of BS.

Do the rest of you guys believe that having a great understanding and grasp of the English Language is a good way to have better conversations with people?

Yes. It depends on your target audience. If you try to make clever jokes around rednecks they'll look at you like a deer in the headlights. If you try to make clever jokes around equally clever people they'll understand them and laugh.

They say, reading helps you have to have a better WELL-ROUNDED conversation with vocab, but what about being evasive, quick and snappy in your reponses?

Books do. As far as being quick and snappy, sometimes it's better to pause before you speak so to collect yourself. It works for me most of the time because I have the same problem.

I either take a dramatic pause or say "ummmmmmm......" which doesn't really sound so great, does it?

Quickness of responses will just come with time. Hang around people and socialize more so you're used to it.

It takes practice to be witty. To come up with funny lines in response to a topic almost immediately is a skill and it is possible to get better.

Surround yourself with witty people. I use my wit to bust women's sh!t tests. I also use it because I love being funny. Trying to come up with a super funny joke that should be used in stand up is what I try to go for, but I do it subconsciously.

I hang a round a bunch a funny people. Half the time, our jokes go so far, that we end up creating over the top scenarios that would never happen just to make the joke last as long as it can without it getting dry. It isn't easy. You gotta be able to make sense by not making sense. It has to being in the context of the subject your talking about, and it has to be immediate.

We've taken this so far as to come up with skits, so we could record crap and put it on YouTube. But some are just over the top, not possible scenarios, that we would need special effects. (Hella off topic)

You have to have an imagination, and you need to watch people. People are the easiest way to gain wit. If you know what someone's reaction is going to be based off an effect of another humans actions, you can use that to your advantage and seem like your witty, when in fact, you just watch peoples actions and know how they would respond to certain situations.



Just find witty people to be around and imitate.
