Anyway, at a function in the city tonight in the company of the usual suspects, the free booze was flowing and were making the most of it and one of the boys has brought along somebody he knows from business and who is not dressed for the occasion when it’s mentioned this guy fancies a girl in the room and it’s decided he needs a wingman to break the ice with her and her friend...we are all far too old and married and definitely not interested in playing that game any more but the pathetic pleading gets to a point that I think fuck it and pile in to break the ice leaving the guy in my wake. He eventually joins us but is so pathietic I’m thinking somebody give me a gun so I can put him out of his misery. This guy is a loser. By this point me and the girls are getting on famously, and although none of us are clearly not interested in anything other than the conversation and banter we are having a laugh, apart of course from the plonker that is ruining every attempt by me and the girls to bring him into the conversation. Eventually they go home and I take it upon myself to educate the chap in the finer points of dress code, body language and chatting up young ladies...he’s suitably impressed, as he should be, and wants more tips but it turns out this guy has a billion dollar company and a private jet...ffs, why didn’t I meet and team up with somebody like him in my younger life ?

“Hughes he is, Hughes he is...”
my days of evening city drinking are well done
That’s where a good wingman comes into play...of course, I’m not sure Mrs ltgtr would approve even though she did find the story amusing when I told her about it when I got home last night but then again she did ask me if he’d lend her the jet to go shopping in Dubai...
I suspect most just felt sorry for me.
1. You're already in a relationship and as such you're under no pressure to impress.
2. You're older and wiser and they simply aren't interested in you in that way and they assume the same of you.
The whole confidence thing is a balancing act...
Over confidence can put them off, just the right level will work.
But then I locked down an attractive girl aged 16 and we're going strong 14 years later... So can only speak of what I see.
