And what is with the gangster hand signals or double peace signs? Is it supposed to make one look tough and macho?

So people would find this girl both kissable and tough?
No the worse one is on Facebook when they clench their teeth together and make a cheesy grin. I could slap those people.

I'd dump any woman if I found they had intentionally taken a selfie on the sh*tter. Cheap, debasing, trashy, vulgar and self demeaning.... but hardly sexy.
Yea what is that? The number of times i've nearly vomited when seeing a snapchat of someone on a toilet is uncountable..
YUCK

An extremely efficient, highly reliable way to spot a moron.

duck lips make me laugh. I asked my teenage niece why she was doing it while taking a selfy. She seemed surprised she was doing anything different then normal.

It's all about being different than the rest of the crowd, sort of like tats and piercings.

The funny part is the individual's choice of being different. If 1M other people choose the same route it isn't so different and unique. Youth has no concept of this until older and wiser.

I don't understand the need for "selfies". FB is a selfie display gallery.

Years ago, my grandmother explained grafitti and loitering with this simple phrase.

"Fools' names and fools' faces will always be seen in public places."

It's a good strategy. It makes you look silly, but like you did it on purpose. What's worse is when you try to make a nice face and you look terrible anyway... which happens like 90% of the time. The duck face is sort of like a defense mechanism against having an inadvertently bad photo of you uploaded to the internet.

What girl would want men attracted to you just for your duck lips? lol I just don't find that sexy. Women are much more. Maybe some men would find a woman more attractive that does volunteer work, educates herself, has a good job, is a good person, etc.

Maybe the duck lips and hand signals are more for the younger teen crowd. They must think it makes them more attractive or 'cool'.







Omg, that last one......

Except the duck face ensures it's a bad photo. If you make a nice face there is at least a small chance of it working out.

Duck face good picture = zero chance. If you are over 18 = double zero chance.

Actually I think it's a duckface the girl made for her mugshot and not her Facebook page but still crazy looking just the same. lol Funny that criminals are duckfacing now in their mugshots.

Hard to imagine how puckered lips are supposed to be duck lips and holding up 2 fingers is a gang sign. There isn't even a remote resemblance to a duck's bill.
