I know this might sound like a stupid question, but what exactely does a wingman do, can you give me some examples of when he can be useful, and things he should do too be better than your average wingman.

Thanks

when you open a set the job of the wingman is to come in and occupy the obstacle(s) and show her/him a good time while you can isolate the target.

The 2 main roles of a wingman are :

To engage the obstacles
To DHV the wing

It is important that you two work together. If you appear to be against each other or competeing over a girl this can DLV you in a few ways

1) It implies that you are of low status to be hanging around with someone who you do not respect and doesn't respect you.

2) You are not preselected, if you were you would not be fighting over this one girl

Always act as if your wing has extremely high value, never belittle or lower his value. Women also judge men by the company they keep so it is your benefit to keep the wings value up.

A great way to give your wing a head start on a set is to go in open, mention your friend is around, DHV him ( but don't make things up) then the wing enters the set.
