Say you become friends with a woman who guys think is a babe, would it affect your friendship and make you jealous? Or could you accept it as long as they weren't stuck up about it?
I've been friends with many attractive women...I don't care about their looks. I think I would have to be deeply insecure to rule out being friends with a woman prettier than me just because men liked her. I felt that way when I was single as well.
I have had a lot of friends that have been considered hot by men, and have had no problem with it at all. Looks have zero to do with friendships and who I like, I like my friends based on how we get along, what kind of person they are. I like nice people - people who are bitchy or mean to other people or animals I want nothing to do with.
And I have been married for awhile...but it was the same when I was single also.
Why on earth not?! I must be missing something, because I don't see how this question even makes any sense.
If she's someone with whom I have things in common, who has similar values, and all the personality traits I like in a friend... why would I be concerned with her looks at all, in either direction?!
I had a friend who wasn't conventionally beautiful, but she was tall, had beautiful eyes, a great smile, and a winning personality to go with it. She exuded tons of charisma and was also what the guys called "stacked." Even though she was plus size, men would be drawn to her while ignoring me, who was petite and more modestly-endowed, the type who is usually called "cute" rather than beautiful. That did hurt, and I always felt like a little brown mouse next to her. But I never held it against her. I was charmed by her, too, and she was fun to be around. I always looked up to her as a role model and tried to learn from her. We also found ourselves attracted to completely different types of guys, so there was no competition there, either.
I had a couple of friends who were absolutely gorgeous and the funny thing was, they didn't see it. Guys sure did though. Jealous, maybe a little but only wistfully. It did not interfere with our friendships at all. Just as an anecdote, both girls noticed that their professors treated them as if they weren't very smart and both had trouble landing jobs after graduation. One was told that her looks would be "too distracting".

I agree, while a steady diet of being passed over could be tiresome, I'd blame the men for not seeing my fabulosity, not blame and ditch the prettier woman.
Sure. Plenty of times. Believe it or not, a perfect 10 has many flaws & gets dumped like any other average looking woman. So their life might seem perfect but its not. Knowing them closely helps you understand that & appreciate your own blessings. I have seen many women feel insecure around better looking women & they even go out of the way to be mean & rude to them. Its very unattractive & shows how much they hate themselves.
