Wingman Skillz

Chardonnay-chugging neoreactionary heartthrob Bryce Laliberte has a good post up about male hierarchy.

Always trying to be the One True Alpha is its own form of neediness.  Nowhere is this clearer than in wingmanning.

An important part of guy friendships is making fun of each other.  A guy who can’t take a joke and throw one back is a pussy, a guy who overreacts and treats every joke like its pistols-at-high-noon is a psycho.  Both would be culled from your social circle.  In that sense, teasing guys is just a male shit-test.  Its an important thing to do.

But, you scale it back when you’re winging (at first).  This is essentially a Game 101 lesson, you work with your friends, rather than against them.  You talk them up.  You don’t AMOG your friends, you don’t see every new girl as a chance to re-establish the pecking order.  If you cut your friend down to low value, what does that say about you?

Later, once a girl is more in step with the vibe of your friend group, you tease and rip on each other just fine.  Seeing a guy interact with his friends can entrench a girls attraction.  But going full scale lockerroom right away is counterproductive.  It is far more pussy lubing to have the girls be the playful butt of your jokes.

I hesitate to use these guys as an example because I’ve never met them and I’ve only listened to one of their podcasts (so far), but Dagonet and Christian McQueen have a good dynamic.  McQueen is a witty, center of attention type guy and he teases Dagonet a lot.  Dagonet gets his digs in but for the most part he goes with the flow.  But you would never say “oh man, Dagonet is McQueen’s bitch!”… because you know two things:  First, McQueen would probably have his back in a fight, and vice versa, and Second, if girls were around, McQueen is helping Dagonet get the pink stink, not busting his chops just because he can.
