Hot wing vs rolling solo

I’m uk based. So every once in a while I will go out with a friend of mine who is for all intents and purposes an absolute natural. Guy is 6’2, white, well built. I do pretty alright for myself - I’m Asian 6’ and gym fit but I feel like whenever we are out he steals the limelight.

When I’m rolling solo I’m on fire, usually it’s the adrenaline of seduction and the club environment that forces me to get out of my shell. My best experiences have been on my own just chatting up groups of girls and getting numbers, closes, etc.

Psychologically when I’m out with my friend or any other wing, I get caught up in the whole dogma of giving a shit about what the other guy thinks or that we have to have some sort of “team” dynamic, which I think is misguided to an extent. I’m the more outgoing type, like to smooth talk girls and groups whereas my wing runs more casual game. When I’m out with him I tend to them feed off his energy. It works for him but doesn’t work for me and I don’t want to feel like I’m playing second fiddle.

So question is - to wing or not to wing?
