Question of the day:
What does it take to be a good “wingman”?
(anyone have any experience in this field? I’ve heard of it, but never thought anyone would ask me… :-p)

I’m beginning to think he might have asked the wrong guy… I don’t know if there’s such a thing as a “christian” wingman…

Hi Han! 🙂
Oops, i mean Hon. as you can tell I can’t spell 😉
hey man… :sunglasses: interesting question, so i’ll take a stab at it… :cheekygrin: i think to be a good “wingman” you’ll have to be rather observant… (of course, it all depends if we’re both defining “wingman” the same way… 😆 ) i say observant because there were numerous times some of friends (usually just me a friend) would be interested in talking to a specific person… without verbally suggesting it, i would be able to “tell”… :cheekygrin: and either maneuver away if that specific person is alone, or manuever to talk to others in the group if that specific person had friends with her… :cheekygrin: hope that helps somewhat… if “wingman” means something totally different for you, then just ignore my post… 😆
correction: “(usually just me and one other friend)”
errr back in the days when i played flight simulator games i’d always get my leader killed while trying to be their wingman. I didn’t do the whole “watch their back” thing too well cuz i was more concerned about staying in the air at all, which happened to be a pretty valid concern due to the fact that I was utterly lacking in skills. i’m not really sure of the context here; like racer said, you have to be observant, but more importantly, observant of the welfare of the person who you’re supposed/want to protect. you’ve also got to have skills/tact 😛
haha tough question
oops. thanks for the tip.
don mclean version’s the best.. did u know madonna remade the song too?
haha, have you seen “In Good Company”?
I don’t know, but I’m guessing that to be a wingman, like in hockey?, you have to be a person that’s willing to go deep within the enemy’s domain, take a beating at times, and eventually SCORE!!! :cheekygrin:
what’s a wingman?
hey i haven’t chimed in for a long time.
i think in the situation you’re probably referring to, there is a saying, “it is enough for the servant to be like his master.” at least that is the saying that has rung in my ears most clearly as the “wingman” for my pastor.
i suppose the act of being a wingman could be construed as being un-christian!
but, strictly speaking, any wingman (or wingperson) is simply being loyal to the lead…! :-p
Ok dude.. I need the term to be clarified !! LOL !! Before I put my foot in it.:headbanger:
Google defines Wingman as … a companion who accompanies his or her friend on social excursions to court the opposite sex.
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wingman
I think that’s a pretty great definition of what a good wingman is. How are you BTW?
i am usually free on the weekends only. i had just sent some frens an email on outdoor activities to see who would like to join me.
