Ultimately it will average out fairly well, it won't get as cold, but also won't get as warm before she adjusts it.

Same with my wife. I have heard that the majority of women have a narrow temperature tolerance as compared to men. The following doesn't confirm what I am saying other than men and women's perception of comfort temperature is *different* :

Gender differences
While thermal comfort preferences between genders seems to be small, there are some differences. Studies have found men report discomfort due to rises in temperature much earlier than women. Men also estimate higher levels of their sensation of discomfort than women. One recent study tested men and women in the same cotton clothing, performing mental jobs while using a dial vote to report their thermal comfort to the changing temperature. Many times, females will prefer higher temperatures. But while females were more sensitive to temperatures, males tend to be more sensitive to relative humidity levels.
