Should you go out with a guy better or worse looking? Many guys want worse-looking wingmen, but that's not optimal. Initial responses depend partly on looks. Standing with a good-looking wingman gives you advantages. Girls notice both you and your friend. Approaching a group yields warmer responses knowing your hot friend will join. His attractiveness rubs off giving you better responses. Russian and Eastern European women respond better to men in groups with visible status markers.

The rule all wingmen should follow: whoever approaches gets dibs on the hottest girl. If you approach and your studly friend joins, you still get a chance at her. Assuming tight game, you'll likely get her anyway. I've pulled the hotter girl many times with better-looking friends. If you view your wingman as competition, you limit your results and game improvement. Better-looking friends actually force you improving your game faster. The contrast makes you work harder and develop skills faster.

Your friend's attractiveness isn't competition—it's a tool. Use it strategically. Girls get warmer from the start. They're already partially interested before you speak. This gives you runway to deploy game. The better-looking guy absorbs initial judgment, letting you operate freely. You can be weird, funny, or edgy without immediate rejection. His looks buy you time and goodwill. Russian dating players understand this dynamic perfectly and leverage it constantly.

Working with better-looking wingmen forces game development. You can't rely on looks so you sharpen conversation, humor, and presence instead. This builds real skill transferable everywhere. Solo approaching beautiful girls becomes easier later. You've already competed against steeper odds. The contrast teaches girls to judge men beyond appearance alone. This serves you long-term better than short-term advantage.
