How to deal with short man syndrome

Someone without a syndrome of his own wouldn't even notice someone like that.

So you have a short little man?

Why are you afraid of gay men?

Because you're never really sure a man will take no for an answer.

Ask him how much does he bench press? Tell him you bench 350 and see what his response is.

Dudes with SMS sometimes compensate by building up their chest while having toothpicks for legs.

We've got a short dude around the office now. He's maybe 5'3", I dunno. Short. Really short. He's got the short man, Napoleon complex, or whatever you want to call it. Constantly bragging. Drives a muscle car with loud exhaust. Tries to act really macho all the time. Yet dude has a limp sweaty handshake and may even be gay.

What's the strategy for dealing with a dude who's constantly over-compensating for his height or some other problem he has? Dude is driving everyone around the office nuts.

Don't listen to the haters. Almost all men wish they were taller, up to probably 6'5." Women LOVE tall men. And us men tend to like shorter women.

Your coworker has an inferiority complex which can be due to short stature, low salary, less education, or whatever.

Just try to grit and bear it.

I don't see where he said he was afraid.

Hey...I'm five foot two with eyes of blue. And I may be short, but I'm big in other places 😉

Ask him to perform an office prank, but instead of an upper decker in the employee bathroom, ask him to make a lower decker.

Ask him if he's read "Little Women."

Ask if he idolizes Napoleon.

I read a study saying that penis length was moderately correlated to height. Taller dudes tended to have longer peckers.

You guys are too much. Btw, that's a good book!

What is your opinion of Yoda? I will not comment unless I hear a legit response.

True but the difference is pretty small. It is something like .25" difference between a 5'6 guy and a 6'2 in the studies I have seen. Individual variance is more on the range of 2". The study I saw suggested really big ones (8"+) were more strongly correlated with height but there were some big sample size issues.

Don't sweat the small stuff. It makes you look petty, and, let's face it, small.

I knew a guy who was 5'3". Very humble, unassuming and quiet, but all these random people would try to instigate stuff with him. Thing is, he was a trained fighter and would not back down when provoked and so on a number of occasions kicked the living crap out of guys that were like twice his size. So I guess I feel kinda bad for your guy because he probably gets a lot of shit and unlike my guy probably doesn't have the skills to put people in their place. So he somewhat understandably ends up an obnoxious douche.

That's a legit response, thanks. Sure, he's probably been the butt of jokes since high school at least. Yeah, that would have an impact.

Speaking of which, ask him what it's like to always be the last one to know its raining.
