Star Gazer Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Dudes, explain this one to me. I understand the concept of a Wingman, really, I do. When a guy approaches a girl at a bar, or tries to go out on a double/group date, one of the biggest obstacles is the girl's friends. Knowing this, men have learned to fight fire with fire. The Wingman's purpose in being there is to make sure his boy gets some action by dealing with the girl's less attractive friends or by otherwise helping him get her number, hookup, etc. But when does a Wingman's role cross the line? Is it okay to lie to the girl about the guy's age? Occupation? Single/married/otherwise status? Interest level?
westernxer Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 But when does a Wingman's role cross the line? When he hooks up with the girl his buddy's interested in and says nothing about it, just like in Dumb and Dumber. Other than that, there's no such thing as lying.
Curmudgeon Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Is it okay to lie to the girl about the guy's age? Occupation? Single/married/otherwise status? Interest level? Only if you're (the one doing the lying) a complete sleaze and are paving the way for another sleaze. In my opinion, anyone who needs a wingman is pretty sorry. I've always preferred to fly solo!
Noos Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 When he calls himself Wingman. It's insulting to the less attractive girl (usually me) and if you think she doesn't know what you're up to, you're sorely mistaken.
Krytellan Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 It depends on the group mentality. If the guy is a player, then there is nothing a wingman could do to cross a line. Thw purpose of the Wingman is to deflect the attention of the other girls and maybe increase the chances of continued interaction. There's nothing wrong with the concept if you ask me. Ultimately, women make the decision. If you're silly enough to fall for a bunch of crap from a wingman, well, that's your thing.
oppath Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Actually, the successfull pickup would be for the guy to start with the less desirable woman, and then shift to his target after some basic small talk. This doesn't require a wingman.
