Men really do snore more than women. Men tend to gain fat around their faces and necks, constricting the airway a bit and causing the structures in there to flap in the breeze. Women are more likely to deposit that fat on their hips and bellies. Furthermore, women tend to have a wider airway anyway.
Smoking and drinking can make people snore more. Also pregnance can swell the lining around the nose and throat, which would cause a woman to snore.
