The situation has been played out in movies, on television and in bars across the country. There's a hot woman hanging out with her not-so-hot friend. There's a man who wants the hot woman. But he's not going to get her unless her friend gets someone, too. Enter Wingman.
The Wingman's sole purpose is to help his friend get the woman he wants. He helps him approach a group of women and break into conversation. He chats up the friends to give his buddy time alone with the woman of his desire. The Wingman is never selfish and should be willing to do whatever it takes to ensure his friend is able to close his deal (whatever deal that may be).
If the Wingman does his job correctly, his friend gets the girl, and her friends never know they've been entertained by a Wingman. No woman wants to know a guy was only talking to her so his friend could get with hers.
Women: Have you ever found out a guy was talking to you as his friend's "wingman?" Or, have you ever been the object of desire and found out a wingman was working his magic on your girls? How does that make you feel about the guy and his wingman?
Men: Have you ever acted as a wingman? What are some characteristics of a good wingman? If you're a wingman once, are you doomed to be a wingman forever?
Men and women: Can women be wingmen, too? Are women as effective as wingmen as guys are?

Behind every good man is a wingman

Yawn !!!.....
I've been a Wingman though I didn't realize I was right away. I was with 2 friends at a bar and there was a female acquaintance there who...likes to talk...a lot. So I'm sitting at the table, pretending to listen to her and I look for some help from my buddies. Both are sitting off to the side with girls, totally oblivious to my plight. Needless to say, being the Wingman is not a fun role.
I think that this is a good topic. These ladies try to make this appealing to a wide variety of people, but apparently they haven't hit on anything that works for you yet. If you're tired of "boring" subjects, maybe you should find another blog to read or submit some topics you might be interested in.
My fiance plays wingman for his friends sometimes. A couple of them have trouble approaching girls, so he will go and chat up the lady and bring her over to introduce the guys. That is as far as he is willing to go to help "close the deal." He isn't going to take one for the team or anything like that!
I've played wingwoman a bunch of times for my friends, and have been pretty successful. The gals get the numbers, but after that, their potential relationship success is all up to them from that point on. It's actually a lot of fun. As far as being a wingperson forever, if you're already in a relationship and are just helping out, you don't have to really worry about that. That's actually the best position to be in. There's no pressure at all and you don't really care about what others are thinking of you because you don't want their phone numbers anyway.
