Of course. In my single days I used to go out with a woman who was beautiful, charming and fun. I often joked that I was invisible beside her, but still managed to have a good time. She had issues of her own that I was happy I didn't struggle with.

OP, if you're truly concerned about it, remember that if men are flocking to her and you're there, some of her overflow may come your way. Just be a good friend and have fun.

And most women will be attractive to a variety of men, so it's not like you can avoid being friends with any women that men will want.

I would rather be friends with a woman who's attractive and confident in herself, than someone who's insecure about her looks and ******y with it.

I have pretty friends and plain friends, it makes no difference to me.

I did have one friend who was sure that since she was thin and I was not, my husband must think she was much more attractive than me. It became an issue because she was always sure that he was looking at her and secretly checking her out. He wasn't at all attracted to her, but her insistence that he was attracted to her made continuing the friendship uncomfortable, and we lost track of her years ago.

I have no problem with it. Just because a female friend is attractive doesn't mean she's always available or if she is that she's interested in the men who approach her. This may not sound politically correct, but you reap the residual benefits of being with a hot friend. Smart men They buy the group a round of drinks, will offer seats next to them in a crowded place where the tables are taken, let you in the club without paying the cover charge, other gestures of generosity, etc.

The only time it bothered was with a friend who was absurdly full of herself. I soon learned why she hardly had any female friends. Sometimes I felt like chopped liver when out with her, I was so invisible. But I was more bothered by the fact that once she got attention from restaurant managers, shopkeepers, or whoever, she would totally ignore me. She also badgered me about being introduced to a famous person that I know, even though he'd met her twice and had no interest. She couldn't believe this one man didn't want her. She was obsessed with climbing the social ladder.

Once in awhile I have been friends with gals who men find gorgeous. When I was young it would bother me, when I got older it didn't bother me nearly as much. I won't say it's easy peasy, but I realized I couldn't change some basic things about myself (like my short stature as one example), and I was going to have to come to terms with who I am and what I am.
