Are Gay Men the New Wingmen?
Being a wingman is a huge responsibility. For those of you who have watched the infamous Jersey Shore on MTV, you will know that the wingman can often times be left with a “grenade” a.k.a. the best friend that sucks. This is so that his buddy can get it on with his dreamgirl. It’s a sacrifice that must be made. But WHAT IF we eliminated this horrible situation completely, by having a GAY man as the wingman?Think about it. The gay guy will obviously feel no pressure to hook up with the "grenade," and what's more he will in fact try to get the girl to like you. I mean let's face it, your straight friend is most likely not going to talk you up like your the best thing since sliced bread. Especially if he is pissed that you’re getting the hot chick. If anything he’ll probably try to steal her away.
The only other equivalent option would be having a wingWOMAN which is probably not the best idea. The girl you're scamming on will be skeptical for sure. She'll be thinking that this chick is either a.) your ex b.)your sister or c.)a girl pretending to be your friend but is secretly in love with you a.k.a she will have no hesitation whatsoever to screw you both over.
But if your best friend is gay:1.) She’ll think you’re awesome for not being the typical homophobic dude
2.) She will trust his judgment. WHY? Because typically a gay guy will be more sympathetic to a women's feelings, whereas the straight friend is assumed to just helping you add another notch to your belt. Take it from a girl. I would totally listen to what a gay guy has to say about you then what your douche bag friend is saying.
Ok one last thing. Maybe some of you men are thinking: "Well what if she thinks I'M gay too?" This is of course a possibility, however, that's where your gay wingman comes into play. When you go get a drink for her he will say "Girl, he is SO into you!"Forget Red Bull- gay men give you wings!
So what do you all think of this gay wingman philosophy? (no homo)

it's def a good idea.
i have a gay wingman. haha.
if he had a gay wingman, I'll probably ignore him and talk to his wingman because gay men are so funny, then get his gay wingman's number so I can go on a shopping spree date with him. gay mens' styles are usually impeccable so I can get more fashion advice and I can gain a new friend this way. go ahead and bring his gay wingman to the party
@babymeatball@xanga - that's awesome. i want one too.
hilarious... yeah i have been a good wingman for my best friend. girls dig that he's comfortable enough to have a gay friend. you make valid points in this article
Let's all say it together:
Gay men are not an accessory.
Thank you.
@RACHEL___llenadeluz@xanga - Yes. Thank you.
Sure there are advantages that can naturally come from having a gay
wingman... but in the end it really comes down to how good of a wingman
they are. Not their sexual preference.
@RACHEL___llenadeluz@xanga said it best. They are not accessories.
@RACHEL___llenadeluz@xanga - thank you for saying that!
Refer to Wayne Brady's role as gay brother wingman on How I Met Your Mother.
@Meowmeowkimmaee@xanga - That's what I was thinking too.
Considering I never talk to women I don't know in public places like bars or clubs or whatever I've never used a wingman before. Though people almost always think I'm gay so I guess I work as my friends gay wingman even though I'm not really gay.
@JusticeCho@xanga - wanna be my gay wingman?
@Meowmeowkimmaee@xanga - Anytime.
What's the point of a wingman again? It's not just to "get your friend laid" right?
@P0RCELA1N_D0LL@xanga - hahaha I also would find myself talking to the gay man.
Personally, I attract gay men in my life. Every girl needs her gay best friend. So we totally appreciate it when a guy isn't a douchebag homophobic! I love my gays so if you want even a friendship with me, you need to love them too. "Forget Red Bull- gay men give you wings!" = new life motto <3
I am the Gay Wingman. It's so successful, I've debated putting out business cards.
@Luscious_Life@xanga - lol, great idea. I should add that to my business cards
I get the community service aspect of this - however sort of sensitive to being the token gay these days... seems to be a little over kill
