What's up with k-girls always puffing their cheeks out? Not all of them do it, but I knew a few girls who seem to do this habitually.

Do they think it cures wrinkles? Just a nervous habit? Anyone know?

Maybe they're trying to make a funny face?

No, they do it less when they have people's attention. It's definitely not meant to be silly. Situation I'm thinking of is different than the quoted one.

And yes I know you were making a joke of sorts. Just wanted to cover all my bases in case that quote was throwing people off. In fact, maybe I should delete it.

My GF does it all the time, and I've caught myself doing it a few times.

It seems to be her I'm thinking/frustrated/bemused face.

I think its cute, but as we have been only going out for a few months, I think everything she does is cute.

I think it's cute too.

Don't you think the last two comments are just a little too crass? It's a cute and innocent thing that Asians do. Why does it have to be reduced to 3rd grade bathroom humor?

Sort of on topic: a few of my middle school girls have started using these plastic roller thingies on their cheeks. It's hard to describe. Is this massage? A beauty product? Anyone know what I'm talking about? Are the OP and this related?

Okay, I seriously have no idea what you're talking about with this cheek puffing. Can somebody post a video or a picture or something?

You're lecturing others on 3rd grade humor? Rolling Eyes

I have seen girls doing it in class while they are thinking and also for picture posing.

I have no idea what it means.
