What are a wing man's responsibilities the morning after?

I'm living with a buddy who's sleeping w/ 3 or 4 different women. The women don't know of each other, but there's also no expectation of monogamy.

I'm cool with all of them and normally end up hanging with them in the kitchen when my friend leaves for work. There was one the other day that just wouldn't leave. Is it cool if I say, "I'm gonna go get dressed and see you later"? Should I entertain until she decides to leave? Should I just do what I had planned for the day and figure she can see herself out?

What are the responsibilities for a wing man the day after?

    Well, considering that a lot of people these days won't or can't read established hints and dismiss etiquette as a useless old remnant of some bygone age, here's what I'd do:

    She won't leave: "Well, I guess it's time for me to shower and get on with my day. Can I call you a cab?"

    Also, talk to your roommate about this. It isn't cool to have strangers hanging around your pad after he's left. It's really his job to see them to the door, no? And certainly don't leave strangers unattended in your place. That's an invitation to all kinds of problems - theft, maybe, or invasion of privacy via snooping.

    Even if these women aren't strangers to you anymore, I think it's pretty uncool that your roommate screws 'em by night and then leaves them for you to entertain by day. In my opinion, that breaches the boundaries of even the closest friendship. And subsequently, having his women stay on after he's left gives them individually the impression of this being more than it is. Whether he's doing it to you intentionally or not, he's playing a game and you've been pulled in as a participant. Tell him that you don't want to play.

    Your responsibilities are to be polite to someone who is a guest in your home. Your friend ought to be shepherding these women out the door, not you. And, having been the one staying the night, they should not be lingering in the morning after the guy they stayed with has left. In your place I'd talk to my roommate.

    OK, enough with the Emily Post mode. :)

    OTOH, you can't just leave someone in your house. If your friend leaves before one of his lady friends, then hang out as long as you like. If she hasn't left when you're done tell her it's been great chatting, but you have some things to do, please finish your coffee before you head out. Make it clear that she is leaving.

    Alternatively, start vacuuming and hand her a toilet brush. Do that, and the problem will likely take care of itself.

    Your primary responsibility is to let your roommate know that it isn't cool to have his guests who don't live there hanging out when he's not there. You have no particular responsibility to his guests other than to be polite and civil to them. But he definitely should know better than to let them hang around the place alone; getting ripped off or having your stuff used, your private possessions snooped into, etc., is not cool.

    If he keeps doing this, at least get a lock for your own room.

    I'm uncomfortable with the expression "Wing Man".
    This implies that you have a defined responsibility with your lothario roommate.

    I think you need to sit down with him and discuss his behavior and goals. What does he expect you to do? Why does he do this repetitively? Does he not expect to deal with these guests in the morning? Does he not allow enought time to escourt them out before beating it to work?

    You're making it too easy for him.
    While you may be a fine roommate, you need to get your duties cleared up... pimp? Maid? Transporter? Confidant? Confidant?

    Or maybe you should hint how terrible it might be if you slipped and called one girl by the other one's name and then had to explain who and how, and why.... oh, it just gets him in deeper, doesn't it....??>?

    A wing man always gets "sloppy seconds"..... and that's why you should always be the pilot

    It sound like you are jealous of your roommate, or more feasibly, in love with your roommate and jealous of the girls? Have you tried telling your roommate how you feel about him?

    I think you need to gradually work your way into position to get into his pants. Here are some steps that I would follow:

    1. I would start by telling your parents that you are gay. It might be awkward at first, but how do you think your dad, having no idea about your sexual preference, would feel walking into his basement and seeing you playing naked leapfrog with the bag boy from the local Safeway? (Side note: when they offer you "help out" they are only offering to help you take your groceries to your car)

    2. Buy some plastic trash bags, duck tape, a few rags, ether, heroin and Calcium Oxide. I would recommend buying these products at varying locations and on different if possible. You don't want anyone thinking anything suspicious if happening. LOL!

    3. Now, when your buddy is sleeping put some either on one of the rags and place it over his face. once you are sure he is out shoot him up with heroin, just enough to start getting him dependent on it. You will want to do this for about two to three weeks before the next step.

    4-7. This is where it might get a little dicey, so just PM me and I'll lay out all the details for you.

    8. Now that it is just you and your emotionally distraught, heroin addicted roommate who thinks he somehow "removed" four girls it's time to give him the ultimatum. Naked leap frog with you or you are going to the police.

    I can say that 3 out of 4 people choose not let you go to the police. Them ain't bad odds! Well good luck, enjoy and I'll look for your PM!
