There is a sketch where Sharon's character is sitting at a bar and guys are walking up to her and being utterly ''terrified'' to speak to her, resulting in her being quite miserable and lonely until Creator/JonLovitz's character is the only one brave enough to actually sit down and talk to her. Another skit in the episode takes this to creepier levels. Stone's character is walking through a metal detector and is forced to strip to her underwear by the TSA agents and the pilots who insist that the detector keeps going off and that she needs to remove her clothes to ensure that she's not carrying a weapon. They finally relent after hearing that an equally beautiful woman is at another scanner, raising the FridgeHorror implications that they behave like this frequently.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Ravenloft}}'' has the fan-created "Banshee" subrace of [[{{Mutants}} Calibans]], a strain that always manifest as beautiful women [[CuteMonsterGirl despite being no less mutated than other caliban strains]], but whose beauty, whilst ''technically'' unmarred, never grants them true happiness, as humans still find them inherently repellant and subconsciously loathe them. At best, their beauty merely exposes them to all the horrors visited upon beautiful women in a land like the Land of Mists. Mechanically, they gain a racial bonus to their Charisma score, but suffer the same Outsider Rating of 5 (which is a penalty to all Charisma skills (except Intimidation) and reaction rolls) as do any other calibans.

One of her teachers compares her to an equally beautiful woman she knew named Saskia, who killed herself, and says that because Yvienne's been able to get so much so easily with it, she doesn't know how to value anything and will eventually think of everything as being trivial. Yvienne herself even says, "Have you ever once heard of a really beautiful woman being happy?" However, at the same time, she knows that it's a very real benefit to her, and has no qualms about using it to her advantage whenever she has to, and almost all of her complaints about it are just made jokingly.

* ''[[Literature/GracelingRealm Fire]]'' and its titular heroine take this trope and heavily deconstructs it. Fire is a "human monster", a type of creature that looks like a gorgeous human. The problem is that her beauty is mesmerizing and she has zero control over it; unless someone has a very strong mind or knows ahead of time and raises their guard up, looking at Fire will immediately shut down all rational thought. At best, those with weaker minds will proclaim their undying love. At worst, they'll attempt to rape her, fly into a murderous rage, or both, forcing her to surround herself with a loyal guard at all times. Compounding all of this is the emotional component; much of human empathy comes from how people look. The crappier someone looks, the more likely a person is to feel sympathy/empathy for them and reach out with comfort and understanding. Fire's appearance will ''never'' reflect how she feels; she could be covered in tears and snot and still look absolutely stunning. The chance that stranger will reach out to her while she's distressed and have it ''not'' be because they just really want to hug or have sex with her is very small.

* Dr. Chase goes through this phase on ''Series/{{House}}'' after he fails to deliberately turn women off while SpeedDating. Dr. House told him that most women don't notice anything about Chase other than his looks, and Chase didn't believe him. So, as a test, House removed every other attribute he has that raises Chase's partner value -- he isn't allowed to use his rather adorable Australian accent, his nice job as a doctor can't be mentioned, and he has to act like a complete aimless, jobless moron -- and bets that even with this, he'll still get more than 12 out of 20 numbers. He does, losing $100 to House as a result.

* ''Anime/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove'': Mahiro is stated to be the most beautiful being in literally all of spacetime, something that nearly gets him molested and kidnapped multiple times. Not to mention the annoying titular character who won't leave him alone. Particularly unfair is that he himself [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm can't actually perceive this beauty]]. To human senses he's just an average teen, it's only in the AlienGeometries that the series' many Lovecraftian characters can perceive that he's so ungodly attractive.

** The pirate "White Horse" Cavendish is such a parody of PrettyBoy characters that random women often faint in his presence. Apparently, he was the prince of a kingdom who was exiled because he was such a ChickMagnet that none of the women wanted to marry anyone else. Cavendish is also a supreme AttentionWhore who enjoys the ships of fangirls chasing after him.
