Wingman Duty Is Sacred
THE RULE
A man who accepts wingman duty must support the introduction, manage distractions, and avoid becoming the main event.
WHAT THIS MEANS
The wingman is air traffic control, not a second airplane racing for the runway.
WHEN IT DOES NOT APPLY
- The interaction becomes disrespectful or unsafe
- The friend behaves badly enough to lose support
- The person clearly shows no interest and should be left alone
EXAMPLES
- VIOLATION: You agree to help, then spend the evening pitching yourself to the person your friend approached.
- NO VIOLATION: You make the introduction, keep the other friends occupied, and disappear at the correct moment.
