It's also an issue because of society and how people look at a snorer. Many men are viewed as a problem to their bed partner and yet, it is socially acceptable for a man to snore. And yet, a woman can be very embarrassed over her snoring. Yes, it does. And it's unfortunate because women snore very frequently, not as often as men.
Men are about twice as likely to snore as a woman.
Well, it is and women's airways are smaller. But, probably one of the largest reasons why women don't snore as much as men has to do with more hormonal factors. With certain hormones, testosterone, men have more fat deposition in areas in and around the airway. So, when a man gains weight, they tend to get a larger neck, whereas, when a woman gains weight, they tend to put the weight on in the hips or in the abdomen and very frequently, have a very thin neck, even though they may be very heavy. Well, it does.
