I am 6'6" and have been given the excuse many times that I am too tall, 
but then again I have been approached many times for no other reason than 
my hight as well. It is a superficial thing and it is annoying to have 
obviously totaly wrong women proposition you, and even more so to be 
rejected out of hand for it.

Hight does have its effect on personality. Tall people are generaly much 
more reserved, especialy women. Shorter people seem to compinsate for 
short stature by being more bubbly and dinamic. If you were to brows the 
alt.tall.support forum you would hear little else. We tall ones seem to 
have trouble connecting with each other because we are more reserved.

Over all, I would be the first to admit it is an advantage in numbers, if 
not quality.
