Short Man Syndrome

Recommended Posts

T's and P's to the GC vertically challenged lady men. You don't need to admit it here. We already know who you are. This is your safe space.

 

Short man syndrome really does exist, Oxford University academics have found, after a study showed feeling smaller makes people paranoid, distrustful and scared of others. Scientists used virtual reality technology to reduce the height of volunteers travelling on a computer-simulated Tube train by 10in (25cm). The experience of being shorter increased reports of negative feelings, such as being incompetent, dislikeable or inferior.
It also heightened levels of mistrust, fear and paranoia. Height-reduced participants were more likely to think someone else in the virtual train carriage was deliberately staring, thinking badly about them, or trying to cause distress. Researchers believe the findings demonstrate the psychologically detrimental effect of experiencing social situations from a position closer to the ground.

I'm prob the shortest, 5'6. I do not have short man syndrome. Maybe because I'm so good looking, that's why it doesn't bother me

I've known quite a few "little men" that had Napoleon complex. Always acting tough and pretending they want to fight everyone

A shorter regular customer was in line buying cigs and another customer who knows him walks in and says. "You know, there's a height requirement to buy those things, don't ya?"

 

I laughed but in hindsight I can imagine that being less than average height would suck.

I had a friend like that in HS except he was actually a bad motherfocker (probably 5'3 or 5'4). Literally never saw this dude lose a fight. Fought a couple kids twice his size a few times.

Doesn't this only show that people who suddenly have their height reduced are paranoid, etc? :huh:

 

Short people never were taller. :dunno:

I can tell how tall guys here are just by how they post.

This would be an interesting spin off.

Love little guy syndrome. They always impress how unimpressive they are when they attempt to impress the women's.

Spin off question:

 

Would you rather be:

 

1. 5'6 with a 9" dong

 

2. 6'0 with a 6" dong

 

3. 6'6 with a 3" dong

Mother Nature doesn't have that sense of humor.

I realized how bad it must suck to be a short dude when I stood next to and conversed with guys who were 6 ft 7 and up. Having to look up to talk to someone sucks.

 

If youre under 6 ft, youre constantly looking up to the more taller guys in the world. At work, at the bar, the gym, on the courts, etc.

 

Its no wonder why so many develop these complexes. Theyre constantly being made to feel inadequate as they go thru their daily routines.

Maybe its perspective? It never bothers me, nor do I even notice it unless someone is extra tall. I do, however, notice pretty easily someone who is shorter than me. Maybe guys with short syndrome notice how much taller other people are more easily?

It was a little bit of a bitter pill to swallow when I was younger. I thought i was going to be tall. I was always one of the tallest kids in my class. I hit puberty super early, so that's another reason why I was taller. I was this tall in 7th grade. I stopped growing. It kind of sucked to see all my good friends go from way shorter than me, to 6" taller. I got over it though. If anything, it makes my job easier. I can get into tight spots to weld a lot easier.
