What's the strategy? How do you do it? What's your wingman stories? I'm all for equality too, so ladies - share your wingwoman stories, too.

And for ladies (or guys) - are you able to see right through the wingman crap? Do you go for it anyway?

I've only occasionally been a wingman for friends, but I've been told I suck at it. (and no, it's not because I can't close deals, though I'm sure we would've arrived at that conclusion, had it gotten that far)

I was out with some friends in Chicago. One guy asked me to be the wingman, 'cause he was too shy to get out there on his own. So I started talking to one of the girls in the group of girls he wanted. It backfired, though - the girl he wanted wasn't interested, and the girl I talked to ended up chasing me for the better part of the night, right until the lights came on around 4am. I had to let her down and told her I had to leave on a flight in about 4 hours. (She was cute ... I think, but I had to get packing and whatever.) So she was crying at the end of the night.

So, with those friends, I'm known as the "guy who makes girls cry".

Anyway, any good wingman stories out there?

It's not about seeing through a wingman's strategy so much as how good the strategy is.

It also depends on how cute the friends is compared to the wingman. If the wingman is cuter than the friend who is into you or your friend, guess which one she's going to be in to more?

Cute guy who is actually talking to me - or shy dude who isn't nearly as attractive.

Wingman is a role that a man may take when he goes to a club or bar with an accompanying male. A wingman is expected to support his friend in approaching women.[1][2]


The men often pick a desired woman, who is referred to as the "target". The man intending to seduce the target is often called the "Pilot". The "Wingman" is expected to back up the pilot, which typically entails talking to the target's less attractive or male friend(s) and making comments that will make the "Pilot" seem more attractive.
The "Wingman" motivates the "Pilot" to be social and practice approaching women. He helps the pilot approach pairs and groups of women without the awkwardness of being alone.[4] He will take the less attractive woman of a pair so that the pilot can engage in conversation with the more attractive without interruption. The target may feel more relaxed talking to the pilot while her obligation of entertaining his or her friend is taken care of by the "Wingman". A group member who disapproves of the "Pilot's" advances may also be prevented from interfering in a way commonly referred to as cockblocking while socially interacting with the wingman.
In certain situations, the "Pilot" will go with his "AW", commonly referred to as Automatic Wingman. He has the most experience in playing the role of wingman.[5] Other responsibilities include remembering details (i.e. target's names aka "the bogey" and personal information) as well as compensating for intoxication in the judgment of the pilot.

I've had the wingwoman approach me a few times & i think its a bit more obvious than the wingman. Maybe its different with a professional wingwoman, but it just kinda seems to me if a wingman comes up and starts chatting to your group he could possibly be interested in talking to you/your friends, when its a wingwoman, you know straight off they're up to something.

I hate to be mean and all, but it's like a gruesome traffic accident - you can't turn away 'cause you're trying to figure it out.

lol! This is exactly my motto! Quite honestly I have much more fun when I know at the end of the night I don't intend to take anyone home. The occasional boost from random women is enough to feed my ego.

I suppose that would make us the "AW"......

Yup.

Wingwomen might as well have a sign posted on their foreheads, it's extremely easy to spot them.

I think the idea with a wingwoman is to make prospective women feel more relaxed while they get to know you. Unlike men, a woman would generally rather talk to a guy who is with a woman than a guy alone or group of guys (a guy with another girl is a better "catch" than a guy with no girl). To SyneyGirl's point, a wingwoman shouldn't be trying to introduce you to new women (that would be too obvious as she says), but wingwoman should be with you to make the women you approach (or that approach you) feel more at ease, and perhaps also to give the impression that you have one or more attractive women (the wingwoman) to choose from. Note too that many women are more comfortable approaching a man if he is with other women than if the man is alone, especially if he looks like he is having a fun time.

I actually asked a girl if she minded being the wingman for me. But then I ended up kissing her, and her girlfriend got mad, and came up to me, and said I thought she was the wingman. Oppps. :D
