Can you be complimented too much?

Say if in a relationship and you are constantly complimented on your looks, would you feel like maybe this is all they like about you? It could just be my insecurities but I find it annoying when my boyfriend is always telling me he likes my smile and I'm pretty.

I had an ex who constantly said "your beautiful" when we were first dating then after we married it stopped. When our marriage broke up for other reasons he said "you can be easily replaced that's not a problem but never someone with your looks".

I know there are plenty of women better looking than me and I want a compliment about something else once in awhile. Is that wrong?

    My approach with a woman is first to compliment her looks, then I move on to something about her outfit during the conversation. When this moves to dating, I continue to compliment on the aforementioned things, but try to compliment her on other things about her that I like about her and are the reasons I continue to see her.
