[[File:LaurenHanley.jpg|thumb|Woman with a highly neotenous face despite having well-developed breasts]]'''Neoteny''', or ''pedomorphism'', is when a organism retains features similar to the infants of that species, in adulthood. Among females, facial neoteny is a highly desirable trait. Even though 18 year old females and 25 year old females both have low levels of wrinkles, 18 year old females are more attractive than 25 year old females because they have a much more neotenous facial fat distribution. It can also be caused by [[pubefantilism]] (delayed puberty). A woman with neotenous features is referred to as a ''fauxbait''. | [[File:LaurenHanley.jpg|thumb|Woman with a highly neotenous face despite having well-developed breasts]]'''Neoteny''', or ''pedomorphism'', is when a organism retains features similar to the infants of that species, in adulthood.
