Ramit,
In all fairness to your friend regarding her rule of thumb about men at Match.com, I've found that women are extremely poor at estimating height.
Extremely, extremely, extremely poor.
I did an impromptu experiment about 1 1/2 years ago that stemmed from a bet I made with a friend, and I discovered that the majority of women consistently over-estimate their own height while at the same time consistently under-estimating the height of others. To be fair to women, I didn't ask any men to participate, so this may be widespread amongst both genders.
For instance, I measure 5'10" (measured and verified by 3 independent people), yet most of the women I asked consistently estimated my height at an average of 5'7". Color me unimpressed.
By the way, I won the bet an was $20 richer for doing so.

Eric, you are SO RIGHT. I encounter this all the time and it angers me immensely. Great point.

You mention height. You should realize that weight goes along with height. If a man were to ask me what I think his height is, I would size up his weight. He would look shorter to me if he were overweight. A slender man to me looks taller.

Back to Twitter for a moment. I'm sorry, but I don't get it. I know, it's a way to keep up-to-the-minute tabs on people. But, unless I'm a jealous lover, why would I want to do that?
