Man Law #32 – Enter The Wingman. Your first line of defense against both the male and female cockblock.

The Wingman is your trusted partner in crime. Always building you up in front of people and your backup in tough situations.
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish, and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper, and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger, those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord, when I lay my vengeance upon thee..” Ezekiel 25:17 (Performance by Samuel L. Jackson)
The Wingman is your friend and ally. He should be willing to take one for the team. His goal is to keep the friends of the female of interest occupied through conversation, while you engage the women. A good wingman can be boiled down to this fundamental principle – he will ALWAYS MAKE YOU LOOK BETTER. He does this by talking about how great you are to her, how you rescued those little kids from a burning school bus and how you take your nieces out for dinner every Valentine’s Day…
No matter what personal issues may be going on between you and the wingman, ALWAYS speak HIGHLY of your friends in front of her. Making him look bad will only make you look bad too. The antithesis to the Wingman IS the cockblock. You can read about the types of cockblocks and how to deal with the cock block in Man Law #28. Here’s a good article on being a good Wingman.
There are plenty of resources on the internet on the Art Of the Wingman, here are only a few:
- Urban Dictionary: The Wingman
- Choosing a Wingman
- How To Be A Good Wingman
- An Article published in FHM on “The Art of the Wingman“
- A Fun Youtube Video Series: The Wingman – Part 1.
will there be mention of the “wingwoman” and how this too can aide you in your quest of getting some? i think i’ve gotten better quality women when i had a female wingman as my “p.r. coordinator.” also, more than one wingman can get tricky – see man law 31… and a true wingman should have the gift of gab in order to distract and interfere and potential cockblockers…
The wingwoman is great and I’ve heard this works but I’ve only had this happen a few times and that was probably by accident and not through any conscious effort…
With multiple wingmen, I think the basic idea is for the guy to switch off and come into the group. Everyone within the circle should be engaged in the conversation so it doesn’t seem like only one person is doing all of the talking….After the group is engaged (i.e. distracted), you can have a one-on-one conversation with your woman of interest…
I think a wingwoman is a good idea. I often walk around my best friend, and another who is a lesbian. It works out awesomely because both the lesbian and I can spot hot girls, and my best friend can take the guys in the group. We all wingman/woman for eachother, and it has worked on multiple occasions.
