      Hi zangrymango (love the name!)

      I don’t think that women do have longer eyelashes than men and in fact I think that men that men actually have longer eyelashes than men. This is thought to due to men being hunters and fighters when it was important for their eyes not to be affected by dust. Some people think it is because eyelashes are used to attract the opposite sex and typically this is done by the male. I am not convinced by this!

      I think Rebecca’s right – men actually have longer eyelashes than women…. maybe that’s why we girls use so much mascara!

      My male friends have much longer eyelashes than I do – I’m well jel’!
