While there's a popular misconception that nail biting is more common in girls, research suggests there's no significant difference in nail biting habits between genders. Some studies even indicate that women might bite their nails more often than men.
However, a study focusing on children revealed that nail biting is more common in boys after the age of 10. This finding suggests that gender differences in nail biting might be influenced by factors like age, social pressures, and individual personality traits.
Overall, the evidence suggests that nail biting is not inherently more common in one gender over another.
