I have a strange problem

My husband is having a friend over next week. They've been friends for a few years and met playing music.

The problem is that this guy has treated me with cold contempt from the moment he laid eyes on me. The first time we met he avoided eye contact with me most of the time but spoke to my husband's older sister and niece. It was really obvious. I made attempts to try to talk to him. Husband didn't notice as he was at the other end of the table.

We went out with him and his girlfriend another time. He was polite but I could really sense the coldness and again avoiding eye contact. I do not sense such coldness from most people.

A few times when he has called my husband's phone and I have answered, he doesn't acknowledge me or say hello, just asks for my husband.

I've only experienced this kind of coldness a few times in my life, and it was from men who didn't like how I look. I am overweight and not conventionally attractive and possibly he thinks my husband could do better. This guy is small and skinny and I am physically bigger than him. Judging from the women he dates, he likes small Asian women (he is half Asian).

It's just weird though, honestly. I mean it's certainly nothing I've said or done, although I get the sense he would interpret anything I say negatively.

I honestly don't know how to act. I feel so uncomfortable around him. I would prefer never to see him again.

Before anyone says I'm nuts thinking this could be my looks - remember it happened the moment he laid eyes on me. Bam. And my husband is not the type to gossip. Also - many rock musicians have big egos and expect their women to be lookers. Over the years I've had a few milder versions of this from musicians. Not all - not even 1 in 10. But to some you're not even human if you're female and not attractive. Plus I don't sing or play music.

Should I just avoid him in the future and be out when he stops by? I really don't see him liking me and I don't want to feel like I have to win him over.
