Tired of always going home solo after a long night at the clubs? It may be time to drop that wingman of yours in favor of a wingwoman. Wingwomen play the same role as their male counterparts, but often have a batting average that’s much higher at helping you pick up women. Your long time female college pals are good bets at being wingwomen, or even your buddy’s cool girlfriend. Tell them that you’re in need of help, and they’ll be flattered and dying at the chance to play matchmaker.
A Game They Haven’t Seen Yet
Women aren’t as naive as we think. They’ve grown wise to the game over the years, and have developed reactive strategies to counteract our wingman’s pickup mission. Having a wingwoman will be like owning your own stealth fighter that flies under the radar.
Look Like a Stud
Women are naturally more attracted to men who have women smiling around them. It’s the whole, “he’s must be fun to be around, if he has female friends” deal. A few wingwomen at your side will show you’re not some loner that’s desperately seeking the opposite sex.
They’ll Fight Over You
Think you’re competitive? Think again. Women love competing for a man’s attention. Just watch an episode of Elimidate, and you’ll see what I mean. Some of these guys on the show are cocky, retarded and quite ugly I might add, but the girls just don’t seem to care. Somehow, when there’s other girls going after the same prey, they go into lynch mode. Bring a wingwoman with you next time, especially a cute one to create a nice air of competition.
Your Foot in the Door
Women have this chemisty that we don’t. Once they gossip about how Britney Spears is so retarded for shaving her head, they’ll instantly become best friends forever. Once she’s in, she can casually introduce you, and you’re as good as gold to work your magic.
No Cockblocking Tonight
Sometimes wingmen forget their duty. Sure, they’re all game when it’s just another run-of-the-mill girl, but when the next Victoria’s Secret model walks by, they suddenly go into solo mode. Selfish bastards!

True words of wisdom! I always get more play when I’m hanging out with my girlfriends. Plus even if I don’t find someone that night, I still have some girls to hang out with. :D

5 reasons why not to get a wing woman
- you end up getting with the wingwoman
- they’ll fight over you, which to me is not a good thing
- people think the wing woman is your woman
- she seen the next Victoria secrat model, gets jealous and gets in your way
- you end up getting with the wing woman -

I’ve always thought this was true but haven’t ever asked any of my girl friends to help me out. I just think it’s kind of embarrassing that I need girls to help me pick up other girls.

Hmm, I wouldn’t be embarassed. I would just go hey I wanna meet more women and see if I click with anyone of them. If I don’t then they become friends and then I drag them along to meet more and more and more lol

the difficulty is not picking up, but by assuming that job of being confident, NOW that’s the hard bit to work and watch out for

It refers to a person, man or woman who’s helping you out to bring your lovely target home. (This is usually one of your close friends) Target as in the person that you’re trying to either 1.) date. 2.) make love in bed ;P 3. or just build a relationship with.

Wingman is a term in the seduction community 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.
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 friend(s) and making comments that will make the pilot seem more attractive.
This is often referred to as “taking one for the team.” The 1986 film Top Gun is often credited with bringing the term into popular usage.

I think the real challenge is finding a girl who is confident enough to first, know how to be a good friend, second, be confident enough to do so (and not revert to cockblocking), and third, have the negotiation skills to execute the catch for the guy. If the girl you’re trying to catch can sense any sort of hesitation or lack of confidence in your wingwoman, then your wingwoman is useless. It takes some practice, but if you found a good wingwoman then you’re set.
A wingwoman is also accompanying your pool shark coworker to the pool hall and setting up a “my boyfriend keeps beating me at pool…can you PLEASE beat him?”-type betting situation. j/k.

Here’s the thing…
This has to work both ways too.
I’m always the wingwoman considering the fact that I have more fun with my guy friends than girl friends.
And to disagree with some of you, it never happens that I hook up with my friends. There’s this standard that has been set-up.The best thing about a wingwoman is that- women are generally more intuitive than men. Therefore, we can easily spot the damsel in distress, the desperate ones, the good for one nights and any other type you want.
Men generally don’t believe in that- but it’s true nonetheless since i’ve actually put that up to test. Two women sitting at the bar- not smiling but merely talking, one is bound to have a lot of hand gesture… in that case stay away from her… she’s bound to be talking about relationship problems.
Wingwomen are hard to find- because it is very true that some will become jealous or what not. The best way to test potential wingwomen is to go shopping with her and casually point out the hot ones. If her reaction is upbeat and funny- you’ve got her. If she openly points out a hot girl or someone who knows you well enough to say “yes or no” type for you. You’ve got her!
In return, you must remember to reward her. You have to be her wingman in return. Help the gal out a bit and point out and weed out the good or toxic guy.
Apologies for the long text… lol! But you did read it!

ok can someone help me with this one!! 2 of my closest friends are women…and i am ALWATS out with at least 2 sometimes more girls. Both of them are very good looking so most girls think either a) i am with one of them (i used to date one of them) or b) i am gay for NOT being with one of them!!!
do you get the women to approach the girls or do you approach girls together…like u would with a wingman!!! ill often leave my friends and approach girls and they will say “does your gf know your hitting on other girls…” hmmm
i feel i have this amazing unused resource…but im not exactly sure about how to do it!!!

[...] Posted by Jonathan on March 13th, 2007 …with a woman! This witty article argues that you are much more likely to be successful if you bring along a girl as a wingman. A quote: “Women are naturally more attracted to men who have women smiling around them. It’s the whole, “he’s must be fun to be around, if he has female friends†deal. A few wingwomen at your side will show you’re not some loner that’s desperately seeking the opposite sex.” That makes sense to me. [...]
