We've recently heard stories from women who struggle to make friends because their beauty makes others jealous, as well as others who have found dating difficult thanks to their good looks.
But one 27-year-old model has insisted it is almost impossible for her to find a boyfriend, as men are often "intimidated" by her.
Elizabeth Marie Chevalier, from San Diego, California, USA, is a Playboy model who has also graced the pages and front covers of magazines such as MAXIM - but despite her stunning looks, she's been single for six months.
The beauty - who has over 2.9 million followers on her Instagram, @marieechev - split with her ex half a year ago and has now said her "intense personality" paired with her intimidatingly good looks has made it a nightmare for her to find a date.

She said: “I’ve been told that I’m intimidating to guys because I’m tall – I’m 5ft 10 – and I’m beautiful and I have a very intense personality.
"I’m actually very sweet and loving so if they took the time to get to know me they would realise that.
“I’ve been on dates where guys just can’t speak to me."
Elizabeth does get attention from men when she goes out on the town, but it's often from people who see her as a "trophy" rather than those who want to settle down with her.
She added: "The men that do chat me up are usually too cocky and self-obsessed, they clearly go for every pretty girl in the room. They see us as trophies.
“I would 100% date a fan but every time I’ve met a guy through my Instagram they have just treated me like a commodity. I know I wear a bikini online but it’s a job, most guys can’t see past that.
“Dating is hard – guys are scared because I'm so beautiful. I would totally let a friend set me up with someone. In fact, I would prefer it."
The model says her beauty has been a blessing and a curse throughout her life, as people often make snap decisions about her personality based on her looks.
And it's not just men that find Elizabeth intimidating - the beauty also says women can sometimes jump to conclusions about her intentions too.
She added: “I remember once being at a Halloween party and I was wearing a costume and I put my headdress down on a chair.
"This guy came over and told me he had been sitting there and his girlfriend saw him speaking to me and completely freaked out. She started screaming in my face and I’m not a confrontational person at all so I just ended up leaving.
“It was pretty crazy. If she knew me she would know I’m not like that at all – I would never steal someone else's man – but I find other women are always saying things behind my back.
"I think they're just jealous. I do find it hard to make new female friends but luckily I have a very solid group of girlfriends that have known me for years who I can count on."
When Elizabeth does find someone to settle down with, she's hoping he'll fit her idea of her dream man - tall, dark, and handsome, with green eyes.
She said: "My ideal man is someone who is the strong but silent type. I like the tall darker features, a handsome man. Age is not a problem to me nor is their job, as long as they are successful and passionate.
"He would just have to come up and say 'Hello beautiful can I ask you on a date?'. I like a guy who I very forward and knows what he wants."
