Is it just me, or do men generally have longer eyelashes than women?

[Anonymous]

I've seen so many men with thicker, longer eyelashes (my father being one such person). I don't think that they're wearing false eyelashes

Has anyone else noticed this?

If yes, what do you make of it?

I think makeup/mascara f@cks ours up.

DH and my boys have super thick, long and lush lashes.

Yes my brother's and son's lashes are long. not sure why but I do see this to be at least partially true.

mine on the other hand are....wah...wah...wahhhhh.....

I never wear mascara because there is literally NOTHING out there that makes my lashes look longer or thicker.

I'm going to get Latisse/Careprost or Rapidlash because I too have tiny lashes

I think it's the make up. I have only ever used mascara a couple of times because my eyes are really sensitive and no matter what kind I use or how careful I am putting it on, my eyes become unbearably itchy and red. However, on the plus side I have really long lashes. I have found using just a little bit of coconut oil on the tip of my finger to shape them does about the same of mascara and it doesn't bother my eyes.

My mascara messes mine up. I have clumps of eyelashes that fall out whereas DH never has this problem. I think mascara makes them stiff and brittle.

Love mascara though and am not going to stop...

Oil? I use mascara mainly so that my blonde eyelashes stand out. Oil wouldn't do anything. I look really plain without mascara, but maybe it wouldn't be the same if I had black eyelashes to begin with.

I have noticed this too. Maybe it is like how males have more colorful features than females in some species.

OP here:

Neither I, my sisters, or my mother regularly wear makeup/mascara.

Yet, the males in my immediate family have longer eyelashes

Same here...
Maybe because men tend to be hairier? At least they are in my experience....

It darkens the lashes and shapes them. I use a very small amount and it works for hours. Coconut oil is a very light oil, I'm not sure it would work with other oils. I have dark blond lashes and I never liked how black mascara looked on them.

Agreed.

Ridiculously long, lush, thick lashes, I have seen in men. Women have to use eyeliners...

waaah....we are not even the fairer sex!!!

[Anonymous]

they do. And I don't use mascara, so it's not that. it's annoying.

They also tend to have slimmer hips and thinner legs, which so many women are always trying to get. Drag queens have a ridiculously unfair advantage.

I am light blue-eyed natural brunette and there is no way I'd risk the documented side effect of darkening iris. My eyes are my thing.
