Dude2: "My ass is on fire! It's abnormally hairy and its all entangled and tickling like crazy!"
Dude1: "The Sasquatch Effect is inevitable. Tough shit, I say."

Get the The Sasquatch Effectmug. When a tall person believes they are both literally AND figuratively above someone else due to the unconscious bias and privileges gained due to their larger stature.
Symptoms of this behavior can be:
- Confidently explaing things to others without understanding the subject
- Assuming one is more capable than others, without any meritocratic foundation
- Assuming the role of “mentor” or “manager” without having the necessary capabilities, experience or situational understanding
- Reflexively dismissing the opinions of others, especially those shorter than oneself without due consideration
- Dismissing ones own privilege and crediting one’s mediocre abilities and “mindset” instead
- Feeling immediately uncomfortable/insecure when one sees someone taller than themselves
- Deriving ones personality and sense of identity purely from their height
- Looking down on other people both literally AND figuratively.

Example 1
John: *has an opinion Rudy doesn’t like*
Rudy: “Shut up, elf”
John: man, talk about Sasquatch syndrome.
Example 2
Gary: “It’s a lot easier to to feel confident as a tall guy. It comes with many advantages.”
Mike: “If you woke up tomorrow as 6 feet 4... I have bad news: you'd find something else to be miserable about.
Harry: “Sure, but research clearly shows it’s easier to deal with these insecurities if you don’t have to worry about height on top of it.”
Mike: “I am sure there is a lot of research, and you can back up almost any claim with some study. We all have our own strengths and disadvantages.
As a tall man, I can tell you that you won't feel insecure about your height, but instead will have other insecurities. We are separate but equal.
Example 3
Dylan: “so what kind of guys do you like?”
Tina: “well he needs to be tall. Don’t get me wrong, I love short kings- well not personally, but I love that FOR them. But I’m tall myself, so I only date tall guys because short guys all have small man syndrome. I need someone on my level.”
Jake (whispering) “I think she’s the one who has tall woman syndrome.”
Jenny (also whispering) “haha, I think you mean Sasquatch Syndrome”

Get the Sasquatch assmug. A person is BIGGER and BULKIER than yourself. You know that if you got into a fight with them, one swing of a fist would crack your skull open like an egg. You also know that if they sat on you (intentionally or accidentally, i don't judge) would flatten every single bone in your body. They also highly lower your self esteem because they are clearly bigger and bulkier than you. These specimens are the kinds of people we all aspire to be, but who we know we can't.
*you and a friend are standing in the lunch line*
*a big man named William Davis cuts you*
Your Friend:Can you believe this, a freakin Sasquatch jst cut u-
*you silence him before the beast hears, saving both of your lives*
