At Arriviste Press, a small Boston-based publishing house, writers have launched a Virtual Wingman service on the company's Web site. All clients have to do is plug in a few details about themselves and what the sort of date they're looking for and, using that information, the virtual wingmen will craft a personal ad, free of charge.

Meanwhile, in cities such as Chicago and New York, a person can rent out a real, live wingperson on an hourly basis.

He had three responses and ended up choosing one of the women, who -- for $100 Canadian and free drinks -- helped the two birthday boys mix with the crowd

I do believe there is already a name for this service, and it's not "wingwoman".
Seriously how sad do you have to be to pay someone to help you"mix with the crowd" and it was their birthday. Maybe I am just upset that I didn't think of this get rich quick scam first, I saw the darn commercials.

Wonder if there is any guarentee? Will the wingman assure you of a one night stand or atleast getting some digits? There might be another name for it.
