Her confidence attracts the guys...Insecurities chase them away. Hint.

Or learn how to laugh it off if clubbing is really your thing.
A final thing is that it doesn't necessarily indicate she is more attractive. Perhaps she is more outgoing and/or smiley, projecting approachable signals. I wouldn't put too much stock in the fact that she attracts drunk guys, there's lots of different kinds of attractiveness out there, I'm sure you can hold your own even if you are more introverted.

Please watch a film called "The DUFF" - I think you could really relate to it.
What others think isn't important. I know its easier said than done, but ignore it; you'll lose your friend, if you don't.
I struggle with my insecurities, but "The DUFF" helped me a little because it's about a girl who's friends are stereotypically more attractive and she always gets used to get to them. Please watch it; it'll help your perspective.
