Read books, watch comedies, go to comedians shows ...

Watch a shit ton of comedies and sitcoms. Humans model behaviour off things we see everyday so you'll gradually pick up that type of humour. Brooklyn Nine Nine is a great show to pick up silly harmeless type of quips.

Your best bet is to hangout with funny people. They'll make you hilarious in no time. Until then, like the other guys said, watch loads of comedy. And unfilter yourself.

"Unfilter yourself." What does that mean?
[–]Accomplished-Lab5914 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
Humor and wit is often saying your mind, rather than thinking too much. Unfiltered means don't pass what you say though a safe work filter. The voice which plays inside and says the most absurd things, comes out.
For a guy who didn't do much of it, wit and humor needs trial and error. So speak your mind, try as much as you can. Then it will come to you naturally.
Imagine yourself replying to the comedians you watch. When they say something, joke about it out loud. Practice. Joke with them!
With women, thinking is needed. Overthinking is unneeded. With humor/wit, both are unneeded.
Good Luck!

Back in day the used to tell guys with this question, take acting classes or some type of storytelling class maybe.. Improv/comedy was another that seemed to help guys think on fly.. This will actually put you around people and have you interacting and practicing, it will become 2nd nature.. Good luck

"Yeah I didn't want to get molested by the preacher so I took matters into my own hands. Why wearnt you there to help me miss police officer?"
"Oh im actually a very successful surgeon and I do surgery in suits and didn't have time to change before I came here, you know how it is"
"I'm actually a wild axe murderer and dropped my axe on the way here"
All of these just popped into my head right away. Don't be afraid to express yourself unfiltered. Doesn't matter if its stupid or not. Just next them if they don't vibe Bruh you're at a Halloween party have some fun!

Yeah that doesn't happen to me. My brain just goes blank

Don't judge what you're going to say. Practice improvisation. Theres some exercises you can do like, yes and...
Or, damn what it's called. I think free association just try and make a story out of the last word in every sentence.
Or look up million dollar mouth piece

Prepare stuff in advance. This is easier for Halloween, when you can expect people to make comments about your costume.
Find some close friends to joke around with. Learn to do that with new people.

Don’t you have a group of guy friends who talk trash to each other constantly? That’s definitely where I learned to be witty… when applying it to women you just have to make it a little more over the top they know it’s a joke.

Nope.
[–]SgtMaj_puzzles 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Find a hobby with a lot of outgoing aggressive dudes. Powerlifting, bjj, hunting, sports…
Between those and my job (military and then fire service) is honestly where I learned to be more quick witted.
What do you do for a living
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I am a student , distance learning, but going to university full time in September next year.
I've been doing BJJ and Muay Thai for a month now. Its great but we don't really get time to talk mostly, although I have made a couple friends , we're not close yet, and we're not a "group" if that makes sense, we're just individuals who talk mma and stuff when we see eachother.
[–]SgtMaj_puzzles 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Haha I guess that doesn’t leave a lot of options. But honestly anything where your gonna be around a bunch of dudes…
And another part of it is just getting comfortable talking to women and trying to make them laugh. Poke light fun at them but be over the top with the sarcasm so it’s obvious that your just goofing.
[–]ZoeticLark 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah, listen to other people being charismatic or funny. When you hear something you like, or could have used somewhere, take a mental note. In time, the ways of humor (which you relate to) will start to bridge in your mind and come to the surface more readily and perfect witty come back will pop into your head at the right moment. Maybe not always, but more and more over time.

Edit : I should have said "hey I can always get another one right?"
