I can honestly say that I work better alone. It's only because when I have friends there, I'm a little too much of a joker as a woman as I'm trying to entertain them and the woman also.
If I can get a girl in isolation I do much better. But it is tough to go out to a bar alone, especially when the night is young.
Now there are situations when a wingman is very useful
1) In a group of two girls, it is very useful to have one guy take on the other girl. But the way I found it works best is if he entertains her in one area of the bar and you find a way to take her friend to another area of the bar. BINGO, Isolation achieved!
If you can't physically isolate them, hopefully at a point the conversations become separate. This is essentially the same thing.
What if your friend isn't a good conversationalist with women. You are better off alone. I have had too many times where friends screw up my pickup attempts by interjecting in them.
