GIRL MAGNET
Edited on Fri Jun-04-04 12:59 PM by Champ

It's all thanks to Shane Forbes. The single, 29-year-old entrepreneur realized it wasn't his male friends introducing him to eligible women - it was his female ones.


"I'd go out with my female friends and, all of a sudden, I'm meeting new girls I never would have met if I was out with another guy," Forbes said.


"When guys are out together, they usually just stand there. But throw a girl in the mix, and they're cooler and much more approachable."


Sure, most men probably have a friend they could enlist, but Forbes was willing to bet they'd pay to have someone dedicated solely to the task.

Putting his theory to the test, he launched Wingwomen.com this past December. For $50 an hour, a single man can book his own wingwoman for the night.
