Women blink nearly twice as much as men

This statement is supported by scientific research. Multiple studies have found that women blink more frequently than men, with women blinking approximately 14-19 times per minute compared to men's 10-15 times per minute. This gender difference appears to be consistent across age groups and cultures. The exact reasons aren't fully understood but may relate to hormonal differences, variations in tear film composition, or other physiological factors. Both men and women blink far more than the basic lubrication requirement, suggesting blinking serves additional functions beyond eye wetting.
