Why Asians Are Supposedly 'Cuter' (Scientific Breakdown)

So, here’s a statement: ‘Asians are cuter’.

If you were offended by that, this video is probably not what you think. Everyone has their own opinions of what constitutes as attractive.

But I’m not necessarily talking about ‘attractiveness’ here; I’m talking about ‘cuteness’. Cuteness is a term describing a type of attractiveness commonly associated with youth and appearance. It’s also a scientific concept. So when I say ‘Asians are cuter’, well, they arguably are; and that’s including males, not just females.

Now, compared to adults, common features for infants across all ethnic groups include larger heads, flatter faces, reduction of the brow ridge, hairlessness, thinner bones, reduced muscle mass, smaller physical size, shorter arms, shorter legs, just to name a few - and, of course, this is largely why people find babies cute. If they didn’t have these features and proportions, they’d more so resemble miniature adults, and that’s kind of creepy...

The video covers:
- Neoteny in East Asians
- How retention of neotenous, childlike traits relate to ethnicity
- Neoteny in humans in general
- Sexual attraction to neotenous traits
- Asian fever vs Cuteness fever
- Neotenous features vs Non-neotenous features
- Gene Mutations that gave East Asians their distinctive appearance
- Neoteny's role in sexual selection
- Are small and slanted stereotypical 'Asian Eyes' neotenous?
- Japan's kawaii culture (South Korea & China as well)
- Psychological neoteny
- Logan Paul's immature antics?

  • I dated this Chinese girl for like a month, and I figured she was in her mid to late 20's. she was 39.
  • For us Asians, puberty doesn't hit us. Our parents do 😂
  • @tamalpias
    my wife was 33 when she lost her job, she decided to go back to school to get a medical degree. all her college friends thought she was their age. they were all shocked she was 33, married, and had a son.
  • sees a cute girl Me: Hey, just wanted to say, you look neotenous
  • @Forums_
    The video: “Asians are cuter” Me, an Asian: “don’t give me false hope”
  • I went to a salon for my sister 's wedding and the beautician didn't want to put makeup on my face because she thought I was too young.She kept calling me a little girl. She had the shock of her life when I told her I was in university.
  • I feel Europeans look so mature. If I see a 14 years old European, I always think he is 18 years old already.😂
  • @peacel861
    why are people getting mad? its literally a fact. its not east/southeast asians fault they have those genes lmao
  • "Asians are cuter" sits happily "Specifically East asians" sits awkwardly as I am a southeast asian
  • I'm laughing at: "I'm 42" "It's all good" 😂
  • This reminds me of this one time someone thought my mom and I were siblings when we were actually 40 years apart. Honestly that could either mean that my mom looks super young(which she does kinda) or I look super old, but I think the latter fits more
  • Another curious thing about Asians is that if they wear or use cute or childish accessories they look so adorable, but if a western does that...we can't look more cringe🤦🏻‍♀️😂 and same when they make cute poses at the moment of taking photos.
  • Video: Has "Asian" on the title Actual Video: East Asian
  • If you want to be younger, that's easy. Don't be over weight, do some sports, stay away from alcohol, and put some facial oils after washing. I'm from north west of China, people get old super quick back there, but they become a lot better now, because people are starting to know how to protect themselves
