Wing man is out gaming me so I need to sort my act out. Any tips?

I'm better dressed than him but he's pretty hyper and I'm quite laid back and keeps going for my targets. He's opening the sets and I'm just going along with it. I've got material but need the confidence to open the sets myself.

It seems like your the wing...

But to change it you would need to set your wing straight and get him under control. Or find a different wing

BamBam is right bro. a wing isn't suppose to compete with you. the idea of a wing is to help each other look better.

This is a pretty common thing, I used to unwittingly run sets and take attention away from my wings when they were supposed to be doing things simply because I was higher energy... I tried to tone it down but I couldn't, so that may not be your answer. If he's always the one talking and you find it hard to get a word in, be mindful that he doesn't do it on purpose to overshadow you. You'll have to either work on getting your energy on par with his, or getting him to tone his down (although like I said, this is easier said than done).

Let him open a set while you get a drink or something, give him time to talk about this awesome guy he's out with (that's you ) and something you both did together recently that DHVs you both. Basically, have him talk you up like you're the most awesome guy on the planet so that interest is spiked before you join the set. Now, when you come into the set and start talking to him they will be fighting for your attention. Think about it this way, if they're really getting along with him and he loves you to bits, they're gonna share this enthusiasm and wanna get to know you too. It'll work in your favour if he keeps their attention well because you can isolate your target very easily this way and you also have the perfect excuse to - "I can't compete with this guy, he's just so awesome!! Seriously though, come with me a sec I wanna show you something", that sort of thing.

There is definitely a wrong way to wing, and it looks like you two are doing it. Never go into a set with your wing. Going in with another guy makes you look beta, and like both of you are looking for sex.

Wings should be brought in for the sole purpose of separating the target from the group, especially in two sets. Bring him in after a bit, complement each other, let the group get a bit comfortable, then while he distracts the obstacle(s), you can steal away the target.

i have the same kind of kind of guy. i'm new but they way it seems to work, and this just happened. is that i'll open a set while he's getting a drink or vice versa. then the otehr will join and tends to make it much less threatening

You and your Wing have to pre-tactics before just headed over to open a set. You have to find a common ground first. cause then if you just shoot from the hip its gonna be a free-for all amoungs you and your wing. he might be thinking you are winging for him and vise versa. Decided who you want before you head over and what routine you guys wanna use. A wing is suppose to be there to help you out. The way me and my wing/bestfriend do it we'll open a set up by ourself and he'll join in later when i give him a signal or if you know your wing he'll come in at the right time. Since you already pre-tactics before you open And arrpoch he should be able to pick up where-ever you are and help. I have never had a problem yet with any of my wing. Now if you Wing is intentialy trying to take your Target... better evaluate your wing and get a new one. Cause then its not a wingman anymore thats just a plain cockblocker.
