    I actually ask people their heights now because I have been so surprised when I finally meet them in person and they are 12 inches off what I thought.

  That has to do more with confidence than with height.

    That’s the hypothesis, but the study is entirely about height.

  Keep an eye out and you will notice “tall white man” syndrome. Symptoms: extreme sense of self importance. Apparent acclimation to getting their own way. Expectation that others will pay attention to them, get out of their way, and generally bend to their will.

  Being white and male is already a pretty potent combination in our culture but being tall just adds a cherry on top. You get to soar above even other white males. It really is the pinnacle of OP starting positions.
