What do women want? Facialmetric assessment of multiple motives in the perception of male facial physical attractiveness - PubMed

The multiple motive hypothesis of physical attractiveness suggests that women are attracted to men whose appearances elicit their nurturant feelings, who appear to possess sexual maturity and dominance characteristics, who seem sociable, approacheable, and of high social status. Those multiple...

This study by Cunningham et al. (1990) supports the idea that women's perception of male facial attractiveness is influenced by multiple motives rather than a single trait. The key findings suggest that:

• Neoteny (Youthfulness) – Large eyes were found to be attractive, likely because they elicit nurturant feelings and convey approachability.
• Maturity – Prominent cheekbones and a large chin signaled sexual maturity and dominance, traits associated with high-status males.
• Expressiveness – A big smile made men appear more sociable and approachable, enhancing perceived attractiveness.
• High-Status Grooming and Wealth Demonstration – Clothing, grooming, and other visible signs of wealth played a significant role in attractiveness. Men who appeared well-dressed and successful were perceived as more desirable, as wealth is often linked to status, security, and resources.

The study also found that attractiveness ratings had a curvilinear relationship with facial maturity—meaning that neither an overly baby-faced nor an excessively mature appearance was ideal, but a balance between neotenous and mature features was preferred.

These findings align with the idea that women seek a mix of traits that signal both warmth and competence, as well as short-term (sexual attractiveness) and long-term (reliability, status, wealth) mate potential.

I have a lot of neoteny but very very no maturity.

I have a lot of neoteny but very very no maturity.

I guess this is why women are not attracted to me. How do I increase my maturity?

When they say grooming they meant men who look wealthy and high status

Because nerds are usually short and weak with bad acne and don’t have a strong chin and prominent cheekbones
