The "ugly" friend...

Options
let me preface this with I have NEVER done this myself, nor would I ever. I choose my friends based on personality, nothing else.

... but, I've heard it said before that girls have that one friend they go out with to make them feel better about themselves, i.e. the "ugly" friend.


First of all, is that REALLY a thing?
Secondly, do guys do the same thing? Or, is it just women?

    Not typically....as guys you might kinda know who is the real go-getter etc and who isn't, but you're not picking who comes out based on how good they make YOU look.....that would be a woman thing to do \m/

    If it is really a thing, I believe I'm the ugly friend... or, should I say, the "fat" friend.

    I have never and will never consider the attractiveness of my friends as a factor in deciding who to associate with.

    All of my friends are guys.... Literally. All of them. So I don't do this. I can't stand hanging out with girls... they annoy me.
