    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?

    what's so hard to beleive? Not everyone is super attractive. Every group seems to have a not so good looking friend.

    I always felt ugly compared to my friends, but I don't think it was ever intentional to bring me along as the "ugly friend".

    Yes it's real and I have actually heard women proudly own up to doing this.

    I'm not at my computer so I don't know if this will work, but this is actually relevant to the thread:

    I've certainly never done it and I don't really see evidence of it with people I know.

    Well I can see that I've been completely wrong about women being shallow LOL

    Thinly veiled misogyny. Save it for Nice Guys of OK Cupid. Because that's what you sound like.

    Probably whine about being "friendzoned," too.

    I remember I had one friend in particular that guys were always saying such mean stuff to me about like couldn't you have invited one of your pretty friends to go out with me and my brother. Or okay but just don't bring that ugly girl. It was so mean. She was my funnest and smartest friend. It didn't hurt that she was also available whenever these guys wanted to go out either otherwise I wouldnt go alone so I thought they'd be nicer. If they had, they'd have seen why I considered her a good friend.

    I'm 99% sure my friends hang out with me for that sole purpose. Every time I'm with them they seem to get ***** like its on sale.

    I had no clue people really did this. I mean, it seems plausible but what sort of person who isn't some sort of psychopath has this sort of thought process?

    I don't have many friends, but the ones I do have would never think anything like this.

    Geez...


    In college, I had a friend who looked dead ringer for Helena Christensen in that Chris Isaak video, Wicked Game. Yea....I know!!! I always Loved when I was out with her! It always ended up way more fun bc of all the attention she attracted.

    Way better having hot friends.

    what is so hard to believe is that people are that full of themselves and so shallow that they would use someone.

    Don't have any. I'm probably the "Ugly Friend". Thanks for bringing that to my attention. That's their problem. I don't have to look at Me.
