Why do some women flip off the camera in profile pics?

[OpenClose]

I'm curious as to why. I see this on dating sites a lot. To me, it stands somewhere between duckface and bathroom selfies.

I mostly see guys doing that. I rarely see it with girls, but that just speaks to the quality of person he or she is. It's probably a good thing that they are giving one of the universal signs of ratchetness before you go through the bother of getting to know them only to be disappointed in the low quality person they really are.

: )

From my experience I've seen more girls flicking off the camera and more girls doing the pussy eating sign than guys.

[janaesaisquoi]

Oh, wow. Maybe it's a regional thing and probably an age thing. (I'm 23.)

[biggie90]

Yeah those girls are 17-20. In high school or fresh into college.

I can honestly say that I've flipped the camera off in one picture two years ago. I usually don't do things like that. I honestly don't know why girls flip the camera off in their profile pictures. I don't find it to be attractive at all! Maybe they think it's cute, who knows?

[MissConfused93]

Because they're "bad bitches"
I always see white girls doing it with rap lyrics as captions about guns, drugs, gang life. Basically everything that doesn't relate to their lives at all.

Because they think its "hot" or want to appear like a tough girl. Instead they appear desperate and trashy.

[GoodManDave]

They think it looks rebellious and anti-establishment, yet it's been done since the middle finger was a way to let others know you're cursing them. It seemed especially popular in the 70's.

Yeah, to me it's like "Duckface." Oooh, I feel so offended because I've never seen that before! Classy ladies!

[biggie90]

I can understand someone doing it if someone (a friend) randomly takes a picture of you then you can flick them off but not for a profile pic.

[lamebabe]

I don't know. I guess to try to make the picture more interesting somehow? I don't really understand it myself.

[Cheeseburgers]

Because they're gang bangers. There's one of them here, and she's got my back.

[MaskedSanity]

Because they think it makes them look edgy and rebellious.

[Eternallylucky]

They are just following the trend. They need to look up the word originality.

To look more daring and adventurous I suppose.
To not be labeled as a good girl.

Similar to when guys show off there muscles or stand with there across crossed and with a tough guy look on there face.
