I think this is a repost. But it's definitely a neat idea. I've had hot female friends that would go hang out with me, but they were mostly cock blockers. :|



This is why the scheme will not work.

These ones are paid not to be cock blocks. My friends just do it to me because they think it's funny. 😛

It works. If women see you with women, they get interested.

is that how the female mentality goes?

i thought the women would just think "he's taken, off limits, go find someone else"

Nope.

I've known single guys that wear wedding rings to attract women.


Women are STRANGE creatures.

(I still like them though 🙂 )

Ain't that the truth.
 
Many of you make it sound like men/women are two completely different creatures. Sure, we look different, but we are similar in many ways. In comment to some of your statements ask yourself, would you be more attracted to a woman if she had a wedding ring on her finger? Would you be more attracted to a female if she were in the company of other men? Would you compete with another man who is with a woman simply because he has something you can?t have? Do you think women are more competitive amongst each other, than men?

I can see where Wingwomen would be a highly profitable business especially in NYC. As the article states Wingwomen, ?accompanying men, too busy or too shy to meet women, to bars to make connections.? ?Pick-up lines can sound trite, the bar scene can feel sleazy and being shy can be a disaster.? A simple introduction by a wingwomen breaks down these barriers and cuts through the chase, sounds reasonable to me.

?Wingwomen?s job is to start up a conversation with any woman the client wants to get to know. Then the ball is more or less in his court. If things are moving along smoothly, wing women are experts at leaving the chattering pair alone.? Where?s the competition between the women? The wingwomen is only making the introduction, and if need be, encouraging further conversation between her client and the other woman?then she slips away.

"Hey, do you guys know if there's a private party in the back?" she said nonchalantly to the women. "Are you part of that group?" I thought this was dishonest approach by the wingwoman. There are so many ways to strike up an honest conversation with a stranger, why would one choose this approach?

?Brandon said he did eventually tell one of his dates about Wingwomen and, while she was a little taken aback at first, she eventually laughed it off.? I think telling the date about Wingwomen is very important. Brandon was honest and his new acquaintance won?t wonder who the other woman was. Eliminating these barriers opens up the conversation and sets it on a good footing. I would think the woman would feel special, and maybe a little impressed, that this man actually chose her from a crowd and paid to meet her. And if she isn?t, she has the option to tell him to get lost.

Hmmm?I?m wondering how successful a wingman business would be. 🙂

A note not related to topic: I think the only difference in the priorities of men/women in a relationship, is the order of those priorities. We may be creatures from a different lagoon but we still love ya anyway.
