I think everything has its pitfalls and people who are considered attractive can become accustomed to doors just being opened for them and to them because of that so they may never have to learn to cultivate other faculties. You may recall from the old AB a woman whose answer to every question was to post a picture of herself.
My point is that we don't all find the same people attractive (thank goodness). There are mentals living among us who stalk and terrorize those they find attractive. This is one way a person might be too attractive. I have heard of people being absolutely addicted to another person based on their looks. I've never known anyone but I've read about it.
I worked with numerous people of different nationalities over the years. I once suggest to a black woman that i worked with that "so and so" (also black and good looking) is someone she should check out. Her response was, "Oh no, he's too pretty."
I was speechless. (I am naive about some things, I readily admit.)
So apparently, that old song about "If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife. So for my personal point of view, get an ugly girl to marry you" has some truth in it that I had never realized.
To expound and expand upon Tom's answer ... it's quite common in school, for people not to ask someone out because they feel that person is "too good looking".
For example, when I went to school there were quite a few girls who I later found out never dated - because no guy asked them out. They thought none of the guys liked them. The truth was that all the guys thought "she MUST have a boyfriend already, because she's so attractive".
This sort of thinking even continues into adults. I'm convinced it's part of the reason so many women get into abusive relationships, and everybody "outside looking in" thinks: "Why does she stay with him?!? She could do so much better. She's so attractive, she could get someone easily."
