re: item 4 (beyonce's ass). A friend of mine ran into and "bought drinks for" (I'm just the messenger here) Jay-Z at Rockstar Bar in Williamsburg (the one that smells awful and has a plaster mermaid). I guess he showed up there one night last November (around Thanksgiving, presumably assuming it'd be pretty quiet)
Turns out before it turned into a PBR vending machine, that place was one of Hov's haunts. You know like "back in the day" and all that.
Sebastian Stan, Leighton Meester's boyfriend, is definitely a great actor and not to mention absolutely gorgeous. I highly recommend watching him on unfortunately low rated and cancelled NBC show "Kings".
@tribalpottery: I knew "Kings" was too good to last from the moment it was put on the schedule. Still, I was seriously hooked and Sebastian Stan was a major reason why.
@lionboy: Wasn't he freaking brilliant on "Kings"?! If the show's ratings did better, he would've definitely been nominated for an Emmy. He was like a male version of Elizabeth Moss from "Mad Men": striving heir apparent in an unfair world. Anyone who could act on par and more than hold his own against the acclaimed Ian McShane of "Deadwood" definitely has some gravitas as an actor. That was one of the most complex portrayals of a gay character ever on television. I thought SS was visually cute before but the fact that he's SUCH a good actor is even sexier.
Awwww..."Buck Hunter" is a video game? Because I totally thought it was some sly underground slang for sex stuff, which made the item an awful lot more interesting, frankly.
It's telling that he didn't say that the potential employee should be smart or well-read, or that she should generally be good at conversation, though maybe his requirement that she "enjoy many, varied, and sometimes challenging social situations" touches on this. I would think that having a highly-conversive and interesting wing woman would be an advantage in being able to engage likeminded women. Well, that is, unless she's more interesting than he is, which I suspect is the case -- that's why she's to "remain totally silent" after making contact.
It's clear that he's a jerk. I sincerely hope that womankind bands together and ignores his offer. There is no reason that he should be given a shot at reproduction.
"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." I wonder what it means if you are at least 9 of the things on the list and have the potential to be all of them?
I can see the conversation now in a very loud bar. "So...is this your girlfriend or something? What? No? Your sister? No? What are you, gay or somethin'? No? So WTF - who is this woman hanging around you. Hey you!! (to wingwoman)...WTF is up with you? Why don't you talk?" Wingwoman shrugs shoulders. Guy tries to intervene with lame chit chat....followed by the inevitable response "Listen...I don't give a damn about the Star Trek movie. Not interested. Beat it."
A woman? Pffft... They should be hiring handsome gay guys. That's who the ladies want to talk to. Then when they realize you're unattainable they inevitably turn their attentions to the lesser but amenable straight friend. Works to my straight buddies' advantage all the time-- I should be charging them $30/hr!
@FrozenHaddock: This guy isn't even comfortable enough with his masculinity to strike up a conversation with a woman at a bar without hired help, so do you really think he's gonna be okay with going to the bar with a geigh?
I was all with this (because a wingwoman is way more efective than a wingman), until I read this:
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;
Save your money and start hanging out with your sister or female cousins. I swear I provided my brother and my male cousin with all the women they had sex with in their 20s. Many a Sunday morning began with a phone call that went something like "But she was my friend!" followed by the inevitable query from the friend two weeks later, "Why won't your cousin call me back?" On second thought, pay the money.

They got a buck hunter machine I'm pretty sure.

However, they are all buddies.
