Tall Man Syndrome

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.
