It's been a while since I studied stats so I hope you'll be patient with me. I think our average reader is even less informed than me though so we should definitely spell this out more plainly. If we use advanced math language it should be preceded with explanations of "d" an so on.

: You are right that it is too mathematical for the lede. What you have calculated is the difference of the group means (the group of average men vs. the group short men). It shows that short men ''do'' have a lower partner count. But that hides that ''some'' short men ''do'' have a high partner count. In reality, the two groups overlap in terms of partner count. Some tall men have a low partner count and some short men have a high partner count. Cohen's d measures the overlap between two groups and a Cohen's d of 0.2 is considered small.
