    That doesn't invalidate his comment. You have to ask yourself _why_ are men exaggerating their height by two inches on average? They wouldn't exaggerate their height if it wasn't an important factor in potential mates. And the data confirms it: "We've found that taller people, up to a point, have more sex". You see on the graph that the "frequency of sex" (unlabeled y-axis) increases for men up to 6'8".
