Batman has Robin. Woody has Buzz Lightyear. Johnny Carson had Ed McMahon. To each man, their counterpart was not just there to fight crime, fight for stuffed animal rights, or to yell ridiculously loud but they were there for one other reason: to be the wingman. It is one of those rules of meeting girls. You just have to bring that wingman along. Why you may ask? Well, it’s simple. Most guys just will mess shit up too much on their own. With their partner there, there is that guy to fall back on and to give you support as you stumble through your first contact with the girl, and in reality stumble through most of the conversation. You know, as I think about it, wingmen aren’t just good for parties, but also for everyday life. Take Campus Crusade for Christ for example. I can’t even count how many times1 I’ve been sitting in the UU and have been approached by them. Do they ever come alone? No, they are smart enough themselves to bring along their wingman to give their “surveys” and talk to you about who knows what. So far in my “Guides to Life,” I have given you necessary information in music and school, but now feel that without a real sex column in the Mustang Daily, I’ll give you a bit of advice to up your game.
