Are Wingwomen a thing of the past?

[Tilex]

I'm not talking about online wingwomen.
This is mainly in person.

Do guys still have an alpha chick that walks up to other women and creates openings for him?
Saying things like:
"That guy over there (pointing at you) is really attractive."
"Too bad I'm married" "::sigh::"

Of course it's all an act, but do women still do this for guys anymore?
I remember watching The Pickup Artist a while back, and Mystery had a professional wingwoman whom would create openings for guys on the show.

I had a wingwomen who was also a co-worker a couple of years back. 36 y/o HB8 blondie and batsh!t crazy. As someone in a rather unattractive ethnic group, hanging out with her made some heads turn.

It was actually eye-opening to have a hot chick give you some details of their dating life
- She was horny af for this dude after the second date, he didn't make a move
- She went out fvckin a drug dealer, got her so sprung
- Still wanted a relationship with the other guy, but she admittedly wasn't horny for him
- Tells me she's on a 3 month dry spell, next dude she met looked EXACTLY like the other guy

I should hit her up again now that I think about it.....

*Also sent me a 2 minute photo-shoot of her in panties, sh!t was wild

I had heard about that tactic but I've never used one.

Having a woman vouch for you in backchannel social circles still has value. None of my friends' girlfriends/wives have ever done anything for arranging dates for me with any of their single friends/acquaintances at any time in the past 20+ years.

Yes. I've been the wingwoman countless times. I've also set my guy friends up (one in particular with a tall, thin blond twenty years younger and they have been in a LTR now 3+ years and going strong.) Back in the clubs in the 1990s I ran around with a tall, sharp, witty guy who could dance. We'd dance the first few songs, all the girls saw him dancing with me (hot sought after blond) and people often thought we were a pro dance couple. After being his "show pony" (his words) for several songs every chick in the club wanted to dance with him, and they were delighted...I mean DELIGHTED to discover I was just a buddy, not his date, not a FWB, etc. I got that guy laid at least 2 dozen times, lol. I still wing for my guy friends sometimes. It's fun and I like to see my buddies succeed.

A couple of times, quit recently I came across what I thought were wingwomen, but what I came to realize was that they were really trying to hook up their less than desirable girl friends with me.

Anyone else ever encounter that?

Oh yeah. I've had women do that. I just take it as non-cooperation and kick them to the curb.

Women will rarely introduce you to women that are hotter than themselves, at least not deliberately.

Social proof never gets old. You don't necessarily need a friend in tow. Getting women in any context to gas you up to others is a good thing - which is easy to do if you're worthy of being gassed up to others. Focus on being an interesting, attractive guy, and less on how you can convince women to sing your praises.

Shortly after I divorced, my daughter was a pretty-good wingwoman for a coupla yrs - Haha!

Similar to the situation in BeExcellent's post, several women thought we were a couple and were later pleased to hear she was my daughter.
Social proof an be quite powerful, even if it's only temporary. Sparking the initial interest is often all you need.

And in before the pervy questions - NO, I've never got together with any of her friends that I'd known since they were kids.

I'd have to be a special kind of cretin to employ the help of a woman to get me girls.
