Many guys go to the bar with a Wingman at their side, hoping to get a little bit of help in getting a girl to go home with them (or at least give out their phone number). But is a Wingman really the best way to go? After all, that guy ends up being your competition, whether or not he's actually interested in the same girl that you are.

A better alternative might be to get a WingGirl. But how do you find a friend like this who isn't going to become more of a barrier than a help? You hire her of course. WingGirls International is a service available in several major U.S. cities (such as Boston and New York) as well as in Montreal. They provide the ladies (at a rate of about $50) and hour who will help you get into the trendiest spots and get to know the girls that are there.

Will the WingGirl service actually help? Or will it only make going out that much more stressful, since you're inevitably going to be trying to impress the WingGirl and the girls she's helping you meet?
