What is the opposite for 'twice as much as'?
It is from this sentence: 'Women blink nearly twice as much as men'. What is the opposite? 'Men blink nearly ___ women'
P. S.: I have no idea if this fact is true but that's not the point :D

You can say "Men blink a third as much as women." - but it's more natural to say "Men blink three times less than women."

twice as less / two times as less
