Wingman

The word Wingman may not sound familiar to you, but surely you have had that role at some point chance. If you have found a partner for a friend, you have become their Wingman. Come on, you've become Cupid or La Celestina.

You probably have in your circle of friends a person whose love life is a disaster Namely, someone who has suffered a painful breakup , who has not been able to find an ideal partner or who simply prefers his solitude although you know that he says this with a small mouth.

This is how it was born Wingman, an application in which you will act as Cupid It is not an application with which we will manage blind dates, rather it is a way to find people with whom the person we are looking for a partner may have things in common.

One of the great curiosities of this application is that singles cannot create their own profiles or connect with more people -unlike Tinder-.That is when the Wingman or Wingwoman comes into play, and the responsibility will fall precisely on the friends to whom we entrust this difficult mission.

The app was created by Tina Wilson, who is headquartered in London. In fact, she explained to the Mashable portal that she found herself single after a breakup and having a group of friends -many with partners- trying tointroduce her to the world of online dating. Something you declined at first but then started using.

It was then that he realized thatit was not easy for friends to help someone looking for a partner , especially when they live in different places, creating Wingman. An app that he has tested in the UK and Australia for many years and has now made official in the US. It is currently available for iOS but will soon be available for Android.

Looking for a partner with the help of your friends

If you've seen the series 'How I Met Your Mother', on many occasions Ted Mosby became the Wingman of his inseparable friend Barney StinsonAnd vice versa. In fact, even Robin did that job at some point. This is what she seems to have based the app on.

So if we want to leave our love life in the hands of our friends, Wingman is the perfect application to do itSo we won't have to experience a rejection in the first person if we request an appointment, since our filter will be our friends. And since they are precisely that, surely they do not tell us our rejections so as not to affect our self-esteem.

To enter the application, we can do it with our Facebook account and create a profile for our bachelor or bachelorette. We can register as many friends as we wants. Once this is done, will send a link to our friend so they can review the things we've said about them and approve them. Once you do, we can start looking at potential candidates.

If we find a connection for our singles and the person shows interest, our friend will connect directly. From then on, it will no longer be our thing In fact, in the tests carried out, one of the things that those who were looking for a partner liked the most were the things their friends have said about them.

Your friends have probably told you on some occasion “no, it wasn't for you”. So now it's your turn to play Cupid and help us find a partner. For everything else, there will always be other dating apps.
