Consider it from the friend's point of view. Your friend that you've been hanging out with suddenly wants little to nothing to do with you because he's hanging out with somebody else all the time. Sure, it's understandable why (if the guy's getting some loving), but now you've got one less friend, or possibly no friends.
It can be a very lonely place, and a little jealousy or resentment is understandable.
Just remember that when you break up with that hot smokin' chick (or she gets pregnant, gains 100 pounds, files for divorce, gets child support and alimony, and then starts banging some other guy in the house you paid for) your real friends will only be there to drink beer and go to strip clubs with you if you've been cool to them.
Non-sex-having male friends are people too. It won't kill you to forsake that maudlin romantic comedy date with your woman and have a beer with them once a week.
Be kind to the people on your way up, because you're likely to see them on your way down.
