Why do girls add extra letters to words in texts?

[Anonymous]

This girl I like always adds extra letters to words like “I knoweeee” etc.

Why does she do this?

Cringey...
I never understood the appeal of that either and I'm a girl, lol.

To be cute I guess? Don't worry, most women outgrow that when they get older, lol

She’s 20 though lol

LOL! Well... some women take longer to mature than others. That or she's just an airhead (no offense if she's a friend). But I never did stuff like that, even when I was younger so don't take my words too seriously

[softrosie]

It's like when you're talking and stretching out your words, like thiiiiiiis. Could be a flirty thing too

An attempt at being cute

Yea i know girls are weird lol

[tartaarsaus]

I do it sometimes.

Why? I don't know, subconscious?

Like I'll say 'jaaa' instead of 'ja'

It’s harder to convey the meaning of your words through text. Typing normally can come off as dry since the person can’t hear your tone of voice. Typing like that can help express better.
