Women have always suspected that men lie about their “length” and now science can back it up. Researchers in Denmark, who published their findings in the journal "Frontiers in Psychology," found the average man exaggerates the length of their “manly bits” by around 21%. How exactly did they come to this conclusion? Researchers compared the average size men were boasting in the online survey – 7.1 inches – to the average recorded size of a man in Denmark – 5.85 inches.

It's not just about what’s in the pants either. The study also found that men add an average of 2cm to their height as well. The findings make men a less than trustworthy-source when it comes to accuracy. The researchers even went so far as to say that, “private data related to bodily cues of masculinity can only be reliably collected in the lab, where conditions can be fully controlled.”
