I guess #1. Here are my five:
1) I've climbed Pão de Açucar
2) Every man I've kissed has been dressed like a woman
3) I've never had a single tooth cavity
4) I once hung off the wing of a plane (that was flying)
5) I'm going bald

Same.
Well, by devoting so much explanation to 2, you make it pretty clear that's not it (or you're just a very good faker.) I guess (.1, .1, .1, .5, .2)
My analysis:
1) Pão de Açucar is in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and, according to Wikipedia, is climbed by a lot of people. I have no reason to consider this any more unlikely than any other random statement someone might claim.
2): This seems plausible, if we assume that Jordan is male. I wouldn't be surprised to find at least some men dressed like women during an event like Carnival. Another not too weird circumstance in which this might happen is if both men are actors, and the kiss is during a performance.
3): Unusual, but possible. Again, this doesn't throw up any more red flags.
4): This is just plain weird, and seems to be the least plausible. Indeed, is that even physically possible?
5) This is very common.
I guess that #4 is the lie.
Nice analysis. One comment though...
Ahzore sbhe vf vaqrrq cbffvoyr. V'ir qbar vg =Q.
Care to offer more details?
Also, which was the lie?
Well, the plane was too small to jump out of directly without hitting the tail, so first I had to grab the wing and work my way to the tip before letting go. I've got to say, however much of a rush skydiving is, hanging from a wing is way more exhilarating.
The lie was (1), it's definitely something I'd like to do, just haven't got around to it.
I would guess #2 due to ambiguous clothing definitions. What does "dressed like a woman" mean?
With regard to #2, it occurred to me that he could have never kissed a man.
I suppose I could clarify:
Every man I've kissed has been dressed in clothing traditionally accepted by Western culture to be feminine and moreover this group is nonempty.
Likewise by (3) I don't mean that every time I've had a cavity I've had at least two.
