Pretty Girl Complex (PGC)
Girls with Pretty Girl Complex are CLEARLY hot, but oblivious to the hotness they exude to others. This results in many people getting confused as to how you feel about them (just friends?) since they are never aware of those who are attacted to them. Regardless of how this hot girl views herself, she never sees herself on the level others do. So unlike Pretty Girl Syndrome sufferers, this girl does not knowingly take advantage of others around them. This girl just thinks everyone is just being nice/normal...when in actuality their actions are directly influenced by her hotness. Informing a girl with PGC of her condition usually results in her shock and disbelief.
