no, I mean you need to get out of their level for your response. don't even be on their level. both of your ideas of a good comeback show that you are going back into or stuck in that mentality. transcend it.
get out of that scene, pursue something else, something you are interested in, curious about, that can be social but is mostly just fullfilling. good women don't want men who use their time gaining skills to pick up women, women want mean who dedicate their time to other passions, gain skills that can build a beautiful comfortable life together, that include all kinds of social skills and that don't include winning juvenile arguments in the bar scene or any other scene.
I have had this talk with many a male friends, and it goes for females too, about how we wont find the right partner until we have gained enough teachings and skills and experience to be able to fulfill all the parts of a relationship, mentally, physically, spiritually and also with life skills, that compliments the other person. so we are all out here just learning to be decent human beings, pursing things that make us shine and finding life very fulfilling and enthralling even without partners all the time.
my friends grow more beautiful each and every day, and some of them who I wouldn't have considered as partners in the past, when we get back together after years of being apart, and they tell me what they have learned and been through, and I do the same, its like there is more of an attraction because I know they are just trying to become more knowledgeable, passionate, well rounded, loving and capable humans first, and worry about everything else second.
here ill give you a quote one of them sent me just the other day, I love him, he has a huge heart, the more I know him over the years the more id actually consider him......
and I think vice versa, which is sweet
"A man once asked his father 'Father, how will I ever find the right woman.' His father replied, 'Forget finding the right women, focus on being the right man."
Anyway I think you get the point. think of what group of people all this dating/attraction things you read are written up by and focused on, standard American/westernized people who live in a monotheistic, matriarchal feminazi world..things are fucked up right now, gender roles, age roles, value systems. I would take all of that advise with a grain of salt and realize there are much better fish in the sea, you just have to travel further to find clearer waters.
