If you read the sidebar links, you'd have found it here.

Put your buddy first, build him up infront of ladies or just chillin.. but don't overdue it, just good, positive, fun remarks about your friend, they key to being a great wingman is too put the spotlight on the other guy.

There is something about this in the sidebar, if I remember correctly.

Tofu's post is pretty much it. I think a big part of it is to let the guy you're winging go to work. In my (limited but fantastic) experience, this often involves getting out of the way and taking any of the girls' friends out of the way. If you turn around to chime in, it can disrupt the conversation your friend is having with the target. If the set is hooked, you probably don't have to DHV your friend to the target... I think DHVing your friend might mainly be to get the set hooked.

My favorite line is probably (walking up to a 2-3 set a friend opened), "hey! Who're your new friends?" Soon after, I try to take the attention of the non-targets and get physical positions situated ("Hey, [friend], switch spots with me").

Yeah, there aren't many resources on group-work with other guys here. Anyone want to share some?

Be yourself, but remember that your buddy is who you're trying to build up, not you. Be casual, but talk him up and cast him in positive light. You're like an icebreaker and social proof all rolled into one.

Just get the fuck out of the way, basically. And distract the other people in the group, if your friend asks. Or even if he doesn't, usually. It can never hurt.

Talking up the other guy is so transparent and does not work, IMO.
