Work As a “Wingwoman,” Earn Serious Cash

Wing woman

I’m not a big Best of Craigslist person, but maybe I should be. While perusing the site today, I stumbled upon a gem of a job posting. While it’s not that recent, it’s possible the position is still open. You never know, in this economy these opportunities don’t come along often.

You too can put your skills to good use and become a professional wingwoman (er, I mean “personal introduction assistant”). I’d summarize the requirements, but I think I’d better let the ad do the talking:

We have an opening for a part-time personal introduction assistant, aka a “wingwoman.”

You must be classy and dress well.

Beyond that you must be able to do 4 things: 1) start conversations with beautiful women; 2) after that, remain totally silent, unless spoken directly to, but smile and look friendly while the man you are “winging” orchestrates the social situation; 3) socialize and block any man or woman attempting to interfere with the man you are winging and any woman he is chatting with; and 4) end any conversation you are having instantly at the direction of the man you are winging. These requirements are essential, not for everyone, and difficult to do well.

Now, this is a job (that’s why you get paid), but it’s very fun, and you may even make new friends, or even meet someone special, if it doesn’t interfere with your primary employment purpose.

This job is not for you if you are uptight, frumpy, grumpy, shy, a man-hater, a debbie downer, a critic, a control freak, a pouter, a therapist, researching, writing an article, with the press, a prostitute, an escort, a relationship counselor, or a feminist with a bone to pick. Gack.

You must be 18, usually 21 for the events we attend. All work is in public at cocktail parties, charity benefits, museum openings, and the like. You will be added to any list in advance, and any fees for the event will be paid. You are responsible for transportion. Subways are $2. Although many events have free food and drink, this isn’t dating, so don’t ask to be bought anything. If you do ask, by mistake, don’t be grumpy and bring the mood down when the answer is a polite no, or you will be paid for the time you have spent and politely sent packing.

This job is definitely for you if you are easygoing, classy, dress extremely well, and enjoy many, varied, and sometimes challenging social situations.

Our roster of full-time wingwomen is full, but we do have a part-time opening. Yes we are serious. Yes we are real. You might even have the time of your life.

Fan mail, hate mail, and non-responsive replies will not receive answers, so save us both the time and don’t bother.

Please respond with a photo and contact information to the craigslist email in this ad. Thank you for your time.

Who are these people that must hire wing women? Because last time I checked, those positions are usually filled by friends. But when you can offer $30/hour to someone for hanging out in a bar, who needs friends?
