Is it normal to consciously make an effort to look hot with attractive friends?

Of course we all try to look our best around people we're crushing on, but does an attractive friend make you feel more pressured to look good around them than a less attractive one?

I don't know exactly why, but with some friends I don't care one iota what I look like. I don't mind not being showered around them, and I don't bother trying to pick out nice clothes. However, if I'm going out to see friends that I think are really good looking, I feel a bit more self conscious. I even panic if my hair or skin doesn't look right before I go out. And I only wear clothing that makes me look thinner. I'm mostly talking about same-sex friends here.

So I know it's natural to want to keep up with the people you know to fit in, but if I should really care about my looks all the time, why don't I bother trying around people I deem much less attractive than myself? I'm not a competitive person, and in every other way I tend not to ever try to show my friends up, or to show off to them. Even if we're hanging out alone, I still care if they think I look good. So, IIN? Do you guys do the same thing?

    I can't remember the last time i went out of my way to look good for somebody.

    I find it to be a waste of time.
