Pro-Tip #2: Accessibility
Let’s be real. When you’re out with your homegirls, it’s not just to “get a few drinks” and go home. You are cruisin’ for babes. That’s just fact. Don’t lie. Now I know it’s easy to get comfortable with your homegirls and just keep to yourselves but come on, a diligent wingwoman has to realize that accessibility is key.
A homeboy recently imparted some wisdom: DO NOT SIT IN BOOTHS. Why? Cause how the fuck is anyone (male or female) supposed to approach you that way? Imagine some dude, could be the hottest dude ever, walk up and sit inside the booth with you and your homegirls. Just imagine that. Now imagine all the paranoid rape-homicide madness that will go through your head at that exact moment. That’s some law and order shit.
Luckily this doesn’t happen often and guys are generally pretty cognizant of boundaries like that. The point is, by sitting in a booth (aka being inaccessible), you’re, whether conscious or not, closing yourself off to meeting new people. So when the decision making comes along: booth or bar? Be proactive: choose the bar. It is just prime, not just for you and your winging skills but just in general for prime scoping out of the babes by all in the group. We’ve all been in that awkward moment when you try to be slick slightly sitting up and looking around the booth to see a babe your homegirl points out in the 6 o’clock corner of the room. That shit is not sexy; you are not an ostrich.
Be accessible. So when the time comes and you want to finally chat someone up, it’s that much simpler to work your magic.
