Question
Anyone notice that height cliques are a thing?

Something I notice at my college is how a lot of guys will form height cliques.

This isn't something that is blatant or consciously intentional (or maybe it is), but it happens. 

It might be the friendship version of what I've read about assortative mating. Almost like another hierarchy.

I'm not counting athletes hanging together on campus and not ignoring guys who may have been friends since childhood or through work.

In the general sense, it's just something I notice. It's almost as if it's beneath them to hang with people who are much shorter than them. When I go to campus parties or some social events, outside of people who have common interests, new friendships tend to form this way.

To some extent, it was even like this a bit in high school.

Does anyone else notice this?
