Random question for the ladies

Guys are free to comment on this as well but some of my friends were debating this recently and I wanted to see what the Hornfans female brain trust thinks.

A guy has met a girl a couple of times and wants to ask her on a date. So they're talking at a bar, the restaurant she works at, a party at a friend's house, etc, and the conversation consists of her, the guy, and the guy's wingman. Is it better if the wingman is present when the first guy asks the girl out, or if he finds away to temporarily make himself scarce.

Argument for wingman should leave was basically: "The less pressure she's under, the better; he's not asking her out so he doens't have to be right there, and this way she knows he's not just trying to impress his friends by scoring a number."

Argument for wingman should stay was basically: "She doesn't have to be totally sure yet what she thinks of him, she just has to give him a chance. She's more likely to give it a shot if they're both there because she doesn't want to make a guy feel bad by flat-out rejecting him in front of other people."
 
My Male Opinion: Wingman should exit the scene. I would personally never ask out a lady with another man standing there. Totally strange.
 
There's women that frequent this board????

I think we need a little more information to answer this properly.

How old is the guy that wants the date? If he's 12 or under, then not only could the wingman stay, he could even ask the girl out for his buddy.

13 or older, I think the wingman should probably not be around.
 
Forget the wingman... the greater issue is whether your buddy will ask if she wants to ride one of his bicycles or discuss LSAT scores.
 
...or hear about how he's the only person who scored in the 99th percentile on every standardized test known to man and was never offered a scholarship (even though he didn't need one).
 
The wingman should deliver a note that says "Will you go out with me - Check yes or no"

That's how we used to do it - in middle school.
 
If your buddy brings freshly cut roses from his garden, then he shouldn't need a wingman.



But seriously, the wingman should disappear.
 
I should have known when I posted this that only guys would answer and most of the answers would be smartass comments. I should have.
 
Stat, I'm a female and I agree with the other posters that the wingman should leave once the girl shows interest.
 
Statalyzer:
My point wasn't whether or not that technique is effective, it was that one should try to keep as much self-respect as possible.
 
This question is crazy- this situation doesn't call for a wingman. I mean why not step back to 7th grade and have the wingman "ask her" for hi, or better yet "ask her" through one of her friends?
 
does your wingman claim he's brilliant but didn't need a scholarship because his parents are comfortable and he worked yet brag cuz he can save 30 cents on a tamale because he habla espanol?

seriously I'm surprised this question was even asked. If he can replace his wingman with his mom the chances of rejection would even be lower.
