Youve heard the term wing man before, and it probably conjures up a funny, mischievous (yet ultimately benevolent) movie character Martin Lawrence might play alongside a hot, shy dude. Martin would be the easy-going middle man who helps his self-conscious hottie friend get the girl.

Its not just in movies; men help each other score girls every Friday and Saturday night in the club. But are women so generous?

I was never a club person, but the few times I went with a friend, it felt like a beauty competition. It seems as if some ladies involuntarily become wing women when an insecure, yet prettier or thinner woman invites her short, awkward friend just so she can make herself look better. My experiences were mostly benign and cant-put-your-finger-on-it kind of episodes, but Ive heard a few horror stories (e.g. girls trying to deflect a mans attention by revealing embarrassing secrets or telling lies about a girlfriend) and wonder if women are capable of sharing the spotlight without a cat fight.
