Most people can tell you what a wingman is. He’s usually the guy that helps his buddy pick up women. Popularized in movies, TV shows, and even commercials, the wingman’s goal is to make his friend, sometimes referred to as the “Pilot” a la ‘Top Gun’, appear more attractive.
Nowadays, wingmen aren’t the only cohorts in pickup land. Men are learning the advantages of turning to their charming female friends, and even professional wingwomen, to learn how to approach people they’re interested in.
So what makes a good wingwoman? According to an article on DatingThoughts.com, not all wingwomen are created equal and the best will even charge by the hour for their services. Obviously, being a wingwoman is definitely not a job for the shy. She must be willing to approach women or men (depending on the Pilot’s preference) and be able to strike up a conversation. She must also understand what makes people tick and have the skill to gain the trust of the target while also highlighting her friend/client’s best qualities.
However, the article warns that no wingwoman is a miracle worker. If you are a “dive bar rat with no charm yourself, and you’re seeking swanky women,” even an expert may not be able to help your cause.
What do you think? Who makes better a better wing, women or men? Leaves us your thoughts below
Nice article. I’ve written similar articles about the advantages that a wingwoman can offer.
