The Inherent Impossibility of the Wingman
A good friend is always ready and willing to be a wingman. The guy who struts into a bar, lounge, or club, surveys the selection and pounces on the prey most likely to enjoy the company of his single buddy. Inherently, the wingman is almost always as a disadvantage. Reason being, the wingman has nothing to lose. Often, the wingman already has a steady girlfriend, or wife, so he has the confidence necessary to attract and retain the attention of a female. The eligible bachelor likely lacks the ‘game’ infecting his wingman, thus, the bachelor is less engaging than the wingman. It just happens. And no matter the lengths the wingman goes to encourage the bachelor to play up his assets, make the women giggle, and pique the opposite sex’s interest, the wingman is doomed to fail because the bachelor thinkshe has something to lose. In reality, he doesn’t. Okay, maybe a little pride, but that’s so relative. Alas, I will continue to work on my wingman etiquette and improve my performance to the benefit of my single buddies.
