How can I be more witty?

These are all very canned lines. Texting witty things is easy, being witty in person is a different ball game. In person just comes with being in state, and not caring about what you're saying.

read books, newspapers, watch movies..overall just be cultured. being witty isn't something everybody can be. but doing all those things certainly helps.

Those seem more sardonic than witty but that could just be my tastes.

I am generally pretty good at being able to twist people's words on them, but I have also found that it can be helpful to try and emulate the actions or thoughts of another person.

My favorite show is Californication, which is about a self-destructive ladies man in a sense, but he always has the best lines so I often try to think up what the main character would do or say in the situation.

For example: I was at a bar and I was in a set talking and one of the girls started jokingly spanking me, so I say, "Don't do that, it makes my weiner feel funny." Everyone started cracking up, but it was a line that I stole directly from the show.

Watch comedians, lots of different ones. You might find in time that all of their jokes will boil down into a sort of formula.

First... I think it helps a lot to be relaxed, especially in social situations where some people, including myself, feel tense and nervous and self-conscious. Apparently being self-conscious inhibits creativity, which I guess you need a bit of to be witty.

I think part of wit is making clever references, and also having material in your head to use.

If you ask, you will never know;

If you know, you need only ask.

dont bother trying

If wit is not your strength, don't bother with it. In reality, people are at their most naturally witty when they are relaxed and focused. Work on these things.

I get great responses and good results in field. I am not witty. If anything, I'm nerdy.

Get rid of the notion that you are not enough. Its not true. You have everything you need within you to be a seductive man. Becoming more seductive is about clearing the channels of self-expression. Not learning more stuff.
