My wife thinks that Budweiser commercial, the one that salutes the "wingman" who "takes one for the team" so that his buddy can get to know some other woman a little better, is hilarious, because she doesn't understand that, to men, that's not a joke. The "wingman" is just one of the many ways that men have evolved to deal with the nasty-girlfriend problem...

Wait a sec. You're saying that commercial isn't hilarious; it's poignantly realistic??? Oh my!

Oh, dear. Jenny, jenny, jenny - if you only knew. I wish I could help, but I can't really offer you any tips on how to spot whether or not you're in the hands of the "wingman" - if he's a truly accomplished wingman, the first tip-off will be three days later, when he doesn't call like he said he would. But by then, he doesn't care, because it's game-over and mission accomplished!

For some reason, women are conditioned to think of themselves as the sly, manipulative ones - in the face of that, men haven't had much choice but to evolve certain instinctive tactics ;)
