What is attractive about ear lobe stretching?

Even if some body modifications aren’t for me, I can understand the appearance-enhancing value of them to others. I can understand the aesthetic appeal of all tattoos, even if they aren’t particularly eye-catching to me. I understand the desire of body piercing as adding places in which to wear jewelry.

The one type of body modification I don’t understand is the extreme ear lobe stretching. I am genuinely interested in learning what people find attractive about this. I do not find it repulsive, but I am unable to understand its appeal. Please enlighten me.
