Researchers analyzing racial facial differences have observed that adult Asian facial structures are more similar to those of infants than other races. A person's degree of resemblance to an infant is termed "neoteny." Neoteny is a female sexually dimorphic trait, meaning that increased neoteny can make a face look more feminine. | Researchers analyzing racial facial differences have observed that adult Asian facial structures are more similar to those of infants than other races.

This observation of greater neoteny among Asian facial structures in general may help to explain a large degree of women's disregard for Asian men. Having a more neotenous or infantile face may benefit Asian women while hindering Asian men. | This observation of greater neoteny among Asian facial structures in general may help to explain a large degree of women's disregard for Asian men.
