每日口說挑戰「把妹智囊團」真的是魯蛇救星嗎？科學實驗這麼說... (Does Having A “Wingman” Actually Help You Get A Date?)

1.【 wingman (n.)[C]1.社交場合上，在你身邊幫腔、提供意見，協助你結識異性的朋友2.僚機的機師（僚機是指一群機隊中跟隨在領航機旁邊或後方支援的飛機）3.（足球）邊鋒】Across cultures, human women tend to be more selective or choosy than men when it comes to partnerships though significant variation does exist among sexes. After all, females expend more resources in pregnancy, making it important that they choose a partner more selectively. 在所有的文化當中，儘管男女之間確實存在極大的差異，但女人在擇偶時往往比男人還挑剔。畢竟，女人要繁衍後代，所以要更加慎重地挑選伴侶。2.歌名："Dream a little dream"、法文版歌名 "Les Yeux Ouverts". 法文曾經自己自學過一小下、會沒幾個字，發音有錯概不負責:p
