Sounds like a middle schooler, not a man.

That's not the norm though. Those are the exceptions.

Woman logic here: Judging a man based on whether or not he has the audacity to approach a random woman who is out with 10 of her friends. At the same time, you would be horrified if you were ever asked to approach a guy who is out with a few of his friends


Woman logic: any man who is a little afraid of rejection is a coward, meanwhile I am going to avoid rejection like it's the bubonic plague

I imagine its pretty transparent when two guys move in and each starts talking to one girl, they must see through it immediately.

I don't know, none of my close friends are really very social, so they never wingmanned for me when I was in high school. I'd go out with a big group of more casual friends, we'd crack a bottle open and all that, but no dividing and conquering. Most of them found girlfriends through their social circles or through school, not through cold approaches.

Buddy of mine who I've known since we were 5, got a tattoo of something from Zelda (a videogame). That has gotten him laid 3 times in the last 5 months.

Should all guys get a video game tattoo? No, nobody should have a video game tattoo.

Like the notes we would get passed in school: Check this box if you like me.

A wingman talks to a group of girls, not just one girl. Generally, his goal is to talk to the "target" and then distract her friends while you try to make a move

We were talking about the OP, who seems to need the help. There are a lot of shy guys out there. Some get approached by women. Some have a friend do the approaching. Some spend years whining. Anything is better than remaining paralyzed by fear and going through life alone and miserable, when there are strategies available to solve the problem.

Actually, I wouldn't care about approaching men. They're strangers to me, why would I care what they say or think?

That actually worked for a friend of mine. He was djing, and when he got a break, he passed a "check yes or no" note to a guy he had been eyeing for a while, and the guy checked yes and passed it back mid set. They dated for a couple of years.
