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.

Opposite of Small Man Syndrome. It is where tall men (probably over 5'12) who have probably done nothing in their life except be dicks and failures to society, are seen as superior by either some people or themselves. This is in spite of figures like Napoleon Bonaparte, who conquered a lot of Europe, was only around 5'6-5'7.
While shorter men doing great things might be seen as compensating, that is much better than someone with Tall Man Syndrome as someone with this affliction does nothing at all except disappoint everyone, especially women in bed.
There are two kinds of people in this spectrum. One does great things like lead England and the allies through World War 2 and being a distinguished historical figure, while the other got genetically lucky and nothing else.

"Damn. Look man, I may be short, but I can actually pay my rent on time and hold a relationship. You suffer from Tall Man Syndrome! A big case of it too!"
Short Man: "I just conquered half of Europe!"
Random person: "You are probably just compensating."
Short Man: "Maybe. How's (Insert Tall Man)? Still crying in his parents basement?"

When some tall guys act like they have the right to speak to anyone like a piece of dog shit on the bottom of their shoe just because of their height advantage. They think that just because they're big it means they can't get knocked over.
"Billy is a dick. He thinks he can talk to everyone like a piece of shit because he's 250 and 6 foot 4. Worst case of Tall Man Syndrome going."

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.
