Just a random thought…
Don’t you find it easier to talk to someone, if there isn’t a direct need to impress them?
We face alot of such situations where we stutter, panic and become nervous because of it.
Situations such as taking your driving test, performing on stage, going for a job interview, going for your first date etc…
But then if you think about it…
Have you ever tried to introduce your friend to a random (presumeably attractive) person and felt no sense of embarrassment doing so? (On the contrary, having quite alot of fun)
A wingman can easily approach a pretty lady at a bar and strike up a conversation without the slightest bit of awkwardness.
Why?
Because he doesn’t feel the pressure.
There is no need to impress this lady for his personal gain, because either way, his friend loses out, not him. All thoughts of being rejected, being seen as a jerk, are ignored because he’s doing it for a friend.
Definitely easier to perform as a ‘wingman’ than if you were actually attracted to her.
So…can ‘BEING’ the Wingman help overcome our everyday nerves? :/
