[[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 smoothing their skin and enhancing eye contrast.<ref>https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2017.01208/full</ref> | [[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 men, neoteny can also be caused by [[pubefantilism]] (delayed puberty) and very detrimentally affect men ([[cutecel]]). A woman with neotenous features is referred to as a ''fauxbait''. | |||
Women's neoteny steeply declines in their twenties such that women's rate of aging is faster than men's, which is known as hitting [[the wall]].<ref>https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ajpa.23878</ref> A twentyfive year old woman will already have a less neotenous facial fat distribution and hence appear less sexually attractive than an eighteen year old woman. | Women's neoteny steeply declines in their twenties such that women's rate of aging is faster than men's, which is known as hitting [[the wall]].<ref>https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ajpa.23878</ref> A twentyfive year old woman will already have a less neotenous facial fat distribution and hence appear less sexually attractive than an eighteen year old woman. | ||
