Used to describe behavior of a sexist woman that discriminates against men that are not of a certain height. The actual height is not of issue, but more important is her attitude toward men based solely on the mans height.
She has a mental disorder known as "Tall man syndrome"; she only dates men that are much taller than her.

The case where guys who are substantially tall (6'2 +) are often very laid back, generally in a good mood, not aggressive. Basically, they have nothing to prove and are just trying to enjoy life. Becomes obvious when compared to some men of smaler stature who tend to pick fights with them and attempt to 'prove a point.' The opposite of Short Man Syndrome or Napoleon Complex.

A deadly disease that afflicts Tall White Boys, mostly seen in those 5'10" (178 cm) or above and who play a sport of some kind. Those ridden by the disease are of college age, and are usually studying a management or business degree or are in over their heads on an engineering pursuit. Tall White Boy Syndrome's symptoms manifest most readily in cohorts. That it to say, the more Tall White Boys there are in a group, the more likely you are to see signs of Tall White Boy Syndrome. You can tell if someone is affected by Tall White Boy Syndrome by the way they act around other Tall White Boys: If incessant talk about "bitches" and "hoes" proceeds, with multiple jokes or harsh comments made about race, queer folk, or women, they most likely suffer form Tall White Boy Syndrome.
Symptoms include:
Wearing pit vipers, boatshoes, crocs, white Nike tube socks, Air Force 1s, Lululemon shorts, Vineyard Vines, etc.
Engaging in "locker room talk" and saying vile things that they wouldn't dare say to their mother, sister, or girlfriend
Inviting girls out to drink at 10:00 PM on a Tuesday night
Dropping slurs like there's no tomorrow
Fighting other Tall White Boys after drinking one too many Trulys
Taking off their shirt at every possible opportunity, most commonly during beach volleyball games
Tall White Boy Syndrome can happen to any type of Tall White Boy, but is most commonly seen in gym influencers, frat boys, or lacrosse players.
