A term that originates from the popular term “Wingman” A Wing Mensch is a Jewish
guy friend that accompanies one in situations pertaining to dating, social events, and/or Jewish holidays/celebrations.
A Wing Mensch is often used to assist in Jewish singles events and Jewish
online dating platforms including
Jdate and JSwipe.
When it comes to Jewish events especially involving Jewish families, a Wing Mensch may be used as a distraction from undesired conversations that likely would lead to feelings of guilt.
Since my mom
guilted me into attending a local Jewish singles
Hanukkah party, I brought my Wing Mensch to help me meet a
nice Jewish girl.
