My friends say I'm out of my boyfriend's league?

Anonymous
So I love my boyfriend. He's the best person ever. But lately, my friends have been making comments about his appearance. They'll say things like he's awkward or that he dresses strangely (I think it's quirky and cool). Once my friend told me that I "saved him" because he's never going to be able to get a girl as pretty as me. I was shocked. I'll admit, he's not as conventionally attractive as some of the other guys that I've dated, but he's still attractive to me. I know I shouldn't let other people's opinions get to me, especially when it's about something as trivial as looks, but it does. I know that my boyfriend is musical, driven, intelligent, kind, and loving. But my friends just see a lanky, awkward nerd with a girl who's apparently "out of his league". They say it so much that it makes me question why I'm with him, and that's not something I want to do. What do I do?
