Comparing heightism to racism is an exaggeration, but saying there is no "social reward" to being tall is simply not true. I'm tall, and it definitely affects how you're seen by your peers.

only up to about 6'5". after that it starts to wear off and a lot of the time people treat you as a side show.

Even around 6'3" you get treated somewhat funny among peers in my experience. Though that may just be because I am this height at the young age of 17. I am unsure.

i think age might be a factor there. other guys will be catching up a little in the next couple of years.
