It depends on the situation and if the wingman is good at it. My best friend is a very good talker and makes friends easily. He has no interest in dating though, and that is partly why he comes off completely non threatening. Unfortunately he doesn't know when to dial it back and his buddy talk. So he's a terrible wingman.

My friend had to be my wingman in 7th grade because in had a crush on girl and wanted to sit by her but she had 3 or 4 other girls around her so i asked my friend to sit by me for the class period while i sat by my crush with my wingman and talked to my crush and it worked.

Also, being an Alpha is not an exclusive status that pertains to a few people and is denied to everyone else. Everyone in this world can be an alpha. It's also not about climbing some ladder to be "above everyone else", it's giving off the best version of yourself while filtering out all the negative qualities that hold no value to you. AsapScience needs to update his information

1:50 "human women tend to be more choosy" not really, they can't stand any insecure guys whatsoever and it's rare for them to meet a confident guy. "Females expend more resources in pregnancy, making it important that they choose a partner more selectively", again, the main goal isn't for women to find an atm machine, a meal ticket, or an errand boy, and not all women have the goal to get pregnant. "Women were more likely to use cooperative techniques than men, but these techniques were used to avoid partners", I've seen one woman use these techniques and then her friends joined in and started finding the guy attractive.
Some of the info AsapScience mentions is inaccurate and believes in the fake image that the media portrays about women

I've heard some guys intentionally pick guys less handsome to be friends with so they look even better and can get laid.

Wingmen don't actually help those who are single and looking even though they claim they are. Wingmen are the type of people who will pick out the prime choices of potential dates for themselves but they will pick out the most unattractive ones they think you should date.

I'm gonna give a big thank you to my three super supportive wingmen, I wouldn't have been able to do it without you!

of course it does! just hold the wingman in her face the entire time and tell her to cooperate and that nothing will happen to her

its not about having a comparison of attractiveness, its having an expert at being sociable to be there for you to help coax out your social side too in front of strangers whom you might have difficulty opening up to. Realizing nothing is too silly to discuss as long as its delivered with the kind of confidence in public your wingman is pro at. And have a gentleman's agreement to ensure mutual success for the team to find another 2 set, its only fair.
