We asked girls for tips on how to be the best wing woman

Wing woman is most certainly something that falls under the “thankless job” category. Your girl hasn’t gotten laid in quite a long time, and it’s getting to the point where you want her to get some as much as she does just so you don’t have to continue hearing how alone she is.

So you decide to take action, and become her cupid for the night. But since you aren’t a fat baby with wings shooting people in the ass, you need a term for yourself. Wing woman. You drag her to the bar, letting her scan the crowd before deciding who looks like someone she would want to wake up next to the next morning before running to the bathroom to puke.

You head over to her target, determined to get your girl and this person out of their pants before the bar lights turn on and they realize who they are taking home. This hypothetical situation sound just a little too familiar?

So what is the best way to help get your friend laid? What do you have to do to be the best wing woman?

“Make sure your friend’s outfit is on point, bring a phone charger, and emergency make up. Be willing to flirt with the friend of the guy just to help a sister out.”

Zoe Weaver, 21, Ohio

“To be a good wing woman you need to make sure your friend doesn’t get too trashed. Keep an eye on her, but also let her do her thing. When you’re out, go up to a group of guys and start a conversation with them and then kinda tip toe your way out when she starts hitting it off with a guy, but don’t leave her. NEVER leave your girlie.”

Chloe Schulte, 20, Florida

“You always have to keep people laughing, otherwise they can be tense or awkward at first. Breaking the ice by being funny (or poking fun of your friend a little) and getting a laugh goes a long way initially. Plus when you leave they can just talk about how annoying you are!”

Gigi Gupte, 20, D.C.

“I give the guys like super straight forward tips as to what girls like, planning dates, etc. I also always hook up my single friends with each other.”

Francesa Lam, 21, Connecticut

“Give a good pep talk before going out. ‘YOU’RE A STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMAN! Who sometimes needs a cuddle buddy.’ Always be willing to approach random people and listen to their bro-stories. Keep conversations light and fun and talk up your friend. Don’t leave her alone unless she gives the blessing or know when to bow out together and go get bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches and french fries.”

So next time you’re out at a bar and your friend can’t stop talking about how long it’s been since she got laid, saddle up and take these tips to help guide her along on the rode to drunken midnight mistakes.
