How To: Be The World's Greatest Wingman/Wing-woman

It's Friday night, you're hitting the town with your boys or ladies, and you're trying to meet a fine honey. However, you want to make sure you never look stupid or come off too aggressive while reeling in the bait. Sounds easy? Not always. You need one of your friends to help you out. This is called a wingman or a wing-woman. This is the roll a friend takes on when they're trying to help you get some. Having a perfect wing can completely determine the outcome of your night out. The only way to ensure you'll get the best wing support when you need it, is to be the best wing support when your friends need it.

So now you're probably scratching your head wondering, "Well how to I make sure I'm a good wing support for my squad?" Look no further. I've surveyed a number of college students to see what qualities they look for in the perfect wingman/wing-woman. If you follow these tips and share them with your friends- you and the crew are set.


Female: "Willingness to make yourself look bad so your friend looks good."

Male: "He has to be semi good looking, he has to be nice, able to hold a conversation, likes to party, funny and will always take one for his boys."

Female: "Fab personality. Not afraid to speak up but also makes sure she doesn't fall for the same guy as her friend!! She can't be no sloot!"

Male: "Slightly less good looking. Follow your lead and kiss up to you/put you in the spotlight. Outgoing."

Female: "To me, the qualities of a good wing-woman is someone who isn't too assertive, but still portrays your friend as a desired and sought-after person. You definitely don't want to make the whole ordeal seem desperate."

Male: "A good wingman backs you up and makes you look like a stud to the girl. They're hard to come by."

Female: "Knows when to let her friend ride solo. Platonic with the guy she's approaching. Talks her friend up. Knows how to be casual. Confident, easy talker. Drunk."
Male: "A good wingman is a guy who's willing to put his sack on the line for the sake of his boy getting ass. A good wingman makes sure his boy is at least past second base before he goes and fends for himself."

Female: "Doesn't bail for whatever reason. Is down to do whatever and will have fun anywhere. Will go to the bathroom whenever. Will take a lap whenever. Will take a shot whenever. Will give you an honest answer on an outfit and guy. Is always down to munch after the night is done. Doesn't get pissed off if you leave with a guy because she's genuinely having fun. If a girl is talking shit she's there to throw down with you. Will always play a drinking game."

Male: "A guy that's gonna lay it all on the line for your behalf."

Female: "Similar tastes in food/pizza orders."

Male: "It's not how you start — it's how you finish. And it takes two to tango. That's open for interpretation."

Female: "Someone who is always down to party. Someone who always laughs at your jokes. Isn't afraid to get ratchet."

Male: "Uglier than you."

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
