Best Answer

In African culture, stretching your ears is a sign of intelligence and wisdom. Those with larger stretched ears are generally considered to be wiser and more intelligent than those with smaller lobes. Those with smaller lobes are considered as people who are still learning things in life. While those who stretch too fast and hurt themselves are considered to be ignorant, because they're not patient.
