Answer 1

they think they're hot. lmfao nice picture :)

Answer 2

Observed learning - automatic responses to a stimuli.



You see the faces all the time, so you learned to do it.



How long does it take to aim a camera and take a picture? A few seconds? Do you really think that these people are sitting there, thinking "hmmmm what kind of face should I make for the camera, what are the pros and cons of making a duckface"....

NO...it's not conscious behavior..it's unconscious automatic behavior that they learned from watching others do it.

Answer 3

In that pic they were just goofing around, but people make the duckface or pout because when done properly it is concidred sexy/alluring.

Answer 4

Maybe they're hammered?



They either think they're hot, or they think they're not hot and are making an ugly face to seem like they don't care.

Answer 5

They don't know how to smile or think they look sexy (aka kissy-face)

Answer 6

they don't want to have people think they are serious, just a joke, hey we're having fun, i'm playing around.

Answer 7

It is their nature. They only can do something to change it.
