[[File:LaurenHanley.jpg|thumb|Woman with a highly neotenous face despite having well-developed breasts]]'''Neoteny''' or '''pedomorphism''' refers to an adult organism retaining childlike features. In humans, this means a roundish, soft face with large eyes, short nose, small mouth with full lips, but also overall a shorter and weaker stature. Neoteny is a highly desirable trait in women and women are more neotenous than men, both in appearance and behavior (e.g. [[Scientific Blackpill (Supplemental)#Women_cry_four_times_as_much_as_men_and_never_outgrow_teenage_crying_behavior|adult crying]]). Women use [[fakeup]] to enhance their neoteny by increasing smoothness and eye contrast. | [[File:LaurenHanley.jpg|thumb|Woman with a highly neotenous face despite having well-developed breasts]]'''Neoteny''' or '''pedomorphism''' refers to an adult organism retaining childlike features.
