I was just wondering if we could discuss the things that make a good wingman in general. Me and a mate are just starting off and when we go sarging we can't seem to be able to switch from running the set to being wingmen.

Are there any guys out there who know what it takes to be a good wingman?, are there any wingman techniques?, i feel like if you're just starting off this can be a pretty important step to learn so you can help out mates and they can help you out..

Thanx guys,

in my opinion a wing has to be a good friend, which you have apparently. and they have to know about the PUA community...know the lingo, the tricks, the body language, so that when your running a set, they can sit back and judge you. and later your HAVE to analyze what just happened! if you crash and burn, say what the hell did i do wrong, and he should be able to say " well you looked needy leaning in, and you showed IOIs too soon" or something

the last thing im going to say for now is a wing should know when hes being a wing in a set.my general idea is whoever initiates the opener is running the set and the wing does not take over unless the runner is screwing up basically. and then its anyones game.

I agree with kelso it should be a best friend my friend and I started out doing this together and we were able to correct each other and more importantly motivate one another before hand

Also make sure your wing isn't a dick one of my mates I took with me to sarg last Saturday that knows basically nothing kept running away after a few minutes convo (as he is shy) then on one set he actually tried to AMOG me to make himself seem cool and ended up making us both look bad

ive had so many chances to amog a buddy and its so tempting but my common sense kicks in and reminds me he's there to help me and i to help him.
but you really need a good friend who youve known a long time and knows a lot about you so they can back up stories that may or may not be true and they can generally feel out where your taking a conversation and help coax it along

Your best wing should know you just as well as he knows himself. You need to be able to work the most hostile venues as a fearless tandem. It has nothing to do with game and everything to do with chemistry.
