Being a good wingman is all about helping your buddy — the leader for the night out — “engage the target” they have in their sights at the party, bar, club, or other venue. Whatever your reason for winging for your friend, your job is to avoid stealing the spotlight and help your friend succeed with the person they want, all without calling too muc...
Wing only for people who are roughly at your level.
Don't try to wing for someone who is significantly less appealing than you. These are harsh words, but they are true. You and your friend should be pretty similar in terms of your attractiveness, your outgoing nature, and your general appeal. Otherwise, the people you meet are likely to latch on to you, and your buddy will feel even worse.
This doesn't mean that your friend can't appeal to people just because they’re less attractive than you. But if they also lack charisma and flirting skills, while you're a smooth operator, then you won't have much luck.
Give your leader the first choice of people.
That's what the wingman is for, right? If you're winging, it's either because you owe your friend one, because you're not single, or just because you want your friend to have a good time. That means you can't switch roles and take over engaging the person that your friend has their eye on.
Learn how to read cues to tell which person your friend wants. You might even want to designate hand, eye, or verbal signals beforehand.
Think of yourself as part friend, part bodyguard. If other people come your way to horn in on the object of your friend's eye, it’s your job to get them out of the way without looking like a jerk. The more attractive and appealing the person of your friend’s advances is, the more you must be on the lookout for interlopers.
Stave off interlopers by distracting them, getting in their way, or subtly annoying them until they buzz off.
Speak up and shut up at the right times.
You should make the person group laugh here and there, reveal a bit about yourself, and keep the conversation flowing, but you shouldn't talk so much that you end up stealing the show. Your friend should be the one who does more of the talking, and you should bail them out when there's an awkward silence or when you can contribute something that makes your friend look good.
Don't interrupt your friend when they’re talking unless you
have something to add. Otherwise, you'll make your friend look like a chump.
Make your friend look good — but not too good.
You might think that your goal as a wingman is to tell the target that your pal is the smartest, coolest, richest, and most talented person around. However, the target will quickly catch on to your game if you go down this path, so make your friend look good only if you can make it a part of the conversation naturally.
This doesn't mean that you should put your friend down or make them look like a loser, though. That won't help, either, and you'll both end up looking foolish.
Let your buddy know if they spilled beer on their pants or have something stuck in their teeth. Also let them know if they’re getting too drunk and looking like a fool. If you want your friend to succeed, then you have to keep them looking good. Even if you're occupying the target’s friend, don't ignore your own friend completely; make sure they’re staying on track.
