If you believe being short is a weakness in your personality, if you believe only tall guys get hot women, then all you’re going to see is tall guys with hot women. You’re going to miss all the short guys walking around who are getting laid, having fun, and meeting women. When you live in a fear based world, you’re consistently validating your fears. You’re looking for it. You’re consumed with your fears. Agree or Disagree below. (credit: David Wygant)
What you call "short man syndrome" I just call being aware of their reality. Look up "short guys" on Youtube. You get mostly see incel content telling short men the truth about their height. You look up "short guys" on Twitter, nothing but constant berating and belittling. I have to report at least 6 tweets every time I search for height related tweets, for threatening or celebrating violence. Don't even get me started on dating apps. Short men are one of the very last unprotected groups that anyone can openly mock and bully and face no repercussions, but praise for it instead.
If you're on "short man syndrome", why don't you touch on something called tall man syndrome? I mean there are obviously tall men that have been validated their whole life just for being tall, to where they don't know how to handle rejection and they take it out on somebody. There are examples of this, but nobody ever says they have tall man syndrome.
But everyone is quick to use the "short man syndrome" label just in case a short man gets out of line or acts in a way that isn't passive or soft spoken. The game is rigged for short men.
You might say I'm "moaning", but I'm just stating the facts.
if you think being tall doesn't give you a huge advantage, you're deluded. but if you think being average or small means you have no chance, you're an idiot.
I agree.
thanks for MH :) cheers.
I met a super hot Brad Pitt Hottie that was getting women left and right. He was 5ft 5.
His Hands were so large, it looked like he could knock someone out with one hit 🤤
5'5 is REALLY short height for a man, isn't it?
He was shorter than most women around him and yet was confident?
@insteadfew
Yes, but he was also getting women shorter than him. I think women taller than him turned him off. I’m 5ft flat.
So he turned me on
You mean he was not attracted towards taller women or that taller women were turned off by him?
@insteadfew
MF looked like an action figure. Like a superhero. Jaw like a soldier. His voice so deep. It’s so rare to hear man’s voice that deep like he had it.
I think he might’ve been 5ft 6 , or almost 5ft 7. But those are still short. Shorter than the average man. His bosses completely towered over him, and he could care less.
Because every other week you’d hear that he’s doing the counter girl, then the next week you’d heard that he’s doing the store girl. Then the receptionist, then the receptionist’s sister.
He was doing all of them
And these girls were quite shorter them him?
Most women themselves aren’t THAT tall. So he was just getting all women. There were very few that were taller than him that he slept with 1 or 2.
He was even doing police women. Cause he was a guard.
He was so experienced and desirable. That he was also a baby-dad. He had kids alread at age 23. Those kids were 10 or 9
Damn. Was the policewoman taller than him?
Did you date to sleep with him?
@insteadfew
I think the police woman was a little shorter or the same height.
I didn’t sleep with him.. but I really wanted to. I didn’t because he gave my friend HPV. HPV is std that can give cancer to women. So I said YIKES 😬 F-K that 🖕.
I really wanted him though, REALLY REALLY WANTED HIM. It was so hard to say no to him 😣. He made all men look g-4-Y AF 😣
He looked like the last man on earth with that bravado and masculinity he had.
I stayed working with him 3 years cause I was so turned on. Later on I became turned off. I think it was height thing, but it was also that he was just there stuck at that job making minimum wage like a loser 😒 So it’s like if the rose-tinted glasses came off my face. I no longer liked him. It was such a revelation.
It almost felt like he did voodoo on me and now it wore off. Like if I had a spell on me, it wore off after 3 years 😵💫.
But man was I addicted to his presence and obsessed with him. OBSESSED.
I even made a story-time series about him.
EVERYTHING, is here if you want to hear about it. I named him ROBOCOP. 👇👇
https://youtu.be/enSSudRm6uA
Later he turned you off because of his height?
@insteadfew
Yes because of his height. And because he was a loser working a minimum wage MCDONALDS type job lol 😂.
He stayed in that low-grade job almost 5 years now. And even though he was manager he was still only making 2 more dollars than me 😂
So it was a little bit pathetic 💵
Ahh so now you mean to say that height of a guy DOES matter and being short sucks for a man, even short girls don't like short guys who are still taller than them?
@insteadfew
I mean.. if you’re hit it can work for a while I think 😬 I told you my story.
It can work out for a while. 😬
@insteadfew * IF you're HOT *
@insteadfew
The thing about short men is that you can easily Get picked up by a taller man, and so you’d get yourself killed. Then you couldn’t protect me or my babies.
This ROBOCOP guy.. even he with his super strong large veiny hands he had. With his testosterone.
He was tossed onto the floor another guy got on top of him. And started beat this ass. In that same job. He got his ass beat.
The taller guy got on top of him and beat him up.
How are you supposed to defend me?
You’re gonna get thrown across the room. Then the enemy will r—pe me and eliminate my babies
Haha are you still living in cave era?
@insteadfew
No, but a tall black guy, picked up short, hot Robocop by his throat.. body slammed him on the floor.. got on top of him , and beat his azz
@turnpost
He didn’t go to jail. He just got fired.
POINT IS:
if you’re short your a liability to me and my babies. Don’t matter which way you want to turn it. If you have the arms of a Gorilla 🦍 and Face of Brad Pitt… that can help you for good moment. If you have a lot of money that can also boost you for a good moment.
At the end of the day you’re still a liability, and I wouldn’t want my offspring to turn out like you. And we all know that babies take the height genes from the male from their father 
I wouldn’t want my babies to come like this
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@coachtanthony
@turnpost
@insteadfew
Hah you exaggerating. Got it
Don’t know about anywhere else but here on GAG-definitely… Seems like the men’s height question is getting asked as much as the “D size” questions lately lol
Is 4 inches enough? ha ha ha
Of course it is 😁🤣(then again I’ma woman and all women lie😁)
They do? Damn it
According to some blue accounts on here and we know enter experts on women they are 😅
•what
Nothing but the best 😂🥃
You don't know short men in real life?
@insteadfew didn’t say that did I? Said it’s not the issue for short men in real life that it’s portrayed to be on GAG
But maybe short men in real life don't show this insecurity, but here they feel comfortable showing their insecurity since no one really knows them?
Have you seen men around your height or shorter?
@insteadfew yes I work with quite a few and funny enough they all married or have a girlfriend so guess that shows women don’t care as much about a man’s height as men on here claim they do. And that’s just it…what you said THEIR insecurities not women’s preferences is the real issue in why a short man might have trouble with the ladies
Oh ok. But it's really hard to accept being a short man , especially being shorter than women. It feels so inferior
@insteadfew only if you let it
But being a man and being short , the insecurity and inferiority complex comes naturally... also since it's proven that biologically women are more attracted towards tall well built men
@insteadfew it is? I don’t think that’s universally true for all women but okay🤷♀️
Universally true for women in general, maybe not for ALL women but majority
Lol... your answer was so accurate... like a straight knee in their!!!

Here's the actual and factual definition of short guy syndrome for you: as a colloquial term used occasionally in psychology, psychiatry, and psychoanalysis, the Napoleon complex refers to a specific type of inferiority complex associated with short people, and especially with short men. It is also sometimes called the “Napoleon syndrome” or the “short-man complex.” Individuals with this disposition are claimed to overcompensate for their short stature by being excessively belligerent, hostile, or quarrelsome in their interpersonal relationships. A fictional example is depicted in John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men : The character Curley was a “shorty” who always felt obliged to prove his worth by picking fights with bigger men. However, the Napoleon complex is said to motivate other forms of behavior besides interpersonal violence and aggression. Most innocuously, a short male might make himself feel taller by placing home wall hangings a little lower than normal. Or he might wear shoes with slightly thicker heels. Silly and delusional manlet boys, the coping/delusion never stops - does it? Manlets are the bottom of the barrel, the lowest of the low. Know your place...
I had an Emergency Room doctor that must have had short man's syndrome because he was meaner than a 🐍 snake and he was ~ 5' tall.
I left his ER and went to another hospital and was admitted to the hospital by their ER doctor. I was sick enough to stay there for a week.
The short doctor didn't have a clue what was wrong with me and told me to get out of his ER.
What a nut case doctor.
Do short doctor's have less brains too?
LOL I don't think his height had anything to do with it
I did not appropriately regard the height of the first woman to marry me, and in so disregarding, left myself open to a lack of sustainability between us. She told me since in front of our daughter together years ago, that I need a short woman. Some short men have large sexual reach, and some tall men have small sexual reach. Having grown up precocious, it was natural for me to want women even more than twice my height, but this standard, even in only slight presence, proved in the case with me, to be less than practical. There are multiple factors at interplay and to produce an overgeneralizing multiple choice question like this one, is just to produce a prompt for conceptualization loaded from the start with unreal aspects.
Lol there will always be “one offs” in life
m Here it is called the Napoleon complex.
I've met the textbook definition once... the guy was ~1,60 m, hobby bodybuilder (broad as he was tall) and had a massive chip on his shoulder. Constantly asking guys to arm-wrestle, provoking silly little fights, etc. Let's just say, he did not make it into the friend group.
I presume some of the guys are telling the truth about their height when they post these things on GAG, but I have a feeling a lot are trolls (actually 6 ft or greater) and have nothing better to do than make shorter individuals feel crappy, and themselves feel better about their own inadequacies with respect to women.
For those that actually do have a problem with their height, I agree 100% on your take on the situation.
Perfect example my two cousins, who are brothers. The older one is 6'2 the younger 5'9ish. The younger one is a complete dickhead always angry. The older one cool as a cucumber. Funny fact the younger one gets more attractive women but loses them due to the fact he is an asshat...
Seems like men care more than women to me.
Older brother is taller... re read what I wrote...
Younger shorter brother got more girls, and more attractive girls.
Sry my bad misread the comment. Honestly though, keeping young women attention isn't easy.
Misplaced piorities I don't know I think the younger brother is merely trying more than anything. doesn't really indicate much high level of attraction. But I am drawing too far conclusion from this comment so ILL leave it be.
TLDR MY BAD LOL (I SOUND LIKE I AM BEING SARCASTIC WHEN ITS ALL CAPS, BUT I MEAN IT THOUGH)
kinda funny though, I got more girls like what okk more girls make it sounds like collecting cars or something. lol
Yeah I have no idea the level of effort put in by either one, just saying what I've personally experienced and saw with my own eyes. I try not to read into other people's love lives especially my cousins.
And why do you find it so hard to keep a woman's attention exactly? To me that isn't rocket science. Maybe go for looks/personality combo instead of just looks make sure you have common interests and make sure you're both attentive and respectful.
Women dont need to try that hard in this stage in life. They have got options to say the least.
But I am generalizing and I am focusing on myself and my limited pos experience.
Its not easy having a girls attention, like I dont even know where to begin lol but regardless it something to work on.
If you ever need advice all you need to do is ask. I'd be happy to help you
5'9 isn't that short.. still he feel insecure 😆
Maybe he is 5'7 I'm short so I don't know everyone is tall to me 😂
Majority of the men on here lol
im tired of men posting questions where they’re like “I’m only 5’9! Nobody will love me! Boohoo!”
I just saw one question where the guy compared his height to having a disability. Like bro shut the fuck up.
I once commented her at GAG how I dated a short men I am 5’7 not tall at all he was 5’5 and I said
for some reasons it was a problem for him I could feel it he was angry and always bring the issue of being shorter than me and due to that we broke up. And this most likely GAG short men ( user) commented back saying “ so it was your problem then not his problem because you broke up “ and he said something like “ it’s sounds it was your problem he was short..” lol
So this gag men was for sure angry at me and what’s funny even protecting my ex too 🤣 that it’s my fault not his fault.
How is it my fault when my ex only talked about his heigh most of the time how is it my fault when he broke up due to feeling insecure !!!
No comment..
You are short too? lol
How do you know what i have told him..
I’m not saying all men act like my ex. If they are shorter. But he was obsessed about it. It was too late for me to learn about it. And now he is already dating a women shorter than him I can finally see him being happy.. I can notice it in seconds
On this site. Yes.
real life, encountered plenty who are married. Successful. They don’t let their height get in the way.
How tall are you
@insteadfew I am 5 feet tall and to answer your other question. There is no correlation between height and confidence.
However, there are a lot who seem to use that as an excuse.
At some level…I wonder if I am so overly confident that i come across as arrogant. But so what, it works out well for me and proud of myself.
The only men I have seen whining about being short have been right here on this website. I have never witnessed it in the real world.
Maybe the short men in real life don't open up about their insecurity to you?
Lol I know one personally! However, it wasn't just because of that that he is insecure. I feel sorry for him too. He's complaining about something he can't really do anything about, short of painful extension surgery!
How short is he? He's shorter than you and most women?
@insteadfew Lol how'd you know? Well he's like 5''4 / 5''5... I think. I'm pretty short (5''2) so..
5'5 is really really short for a man, no?
I never was worried about my height. I'm five feet seven inches while the average US male is 5'9" but I never thought about it, unless it was hard to reach something 🤣
Me too man. Never had any issues. I am the same height as you.
I'm 5'10", and the only thing it has been impossible for me to reach is a cul-de-sac.
Still. though, front side only reach at the back side of a uterine opening really still is less than ideal.
( when it goes like that )
I am short by height. I see no problem in it. I mean, is there?
Sometimes I think about my beauty level. But never about my height. Girls also have leagues like we do. They also need a person in their league. I guess it works out in the end.
I don't have any in mind, but I am just 5" 9, I'd be like 5"10 max with shoes, and I have a fantasy of sleeping with a girl who is taller than me, so she has to be 5" 10 or more. Never had the chance somehow. There are many girls who are 5 ' 10 and above but to have one who is and in a position to fuck is something that has escaped me so far.
Yeah, just look in this forum there will surely more than one short guy topic. In real world short men don't complain that much but they are the nastiest gnomes you will ever meet.
Back In elementary and high school there were plenty and we were fawning all over them. They’d either be the same height or shorter. And most never hit a growth spurt til this day.
So you girls made fun of them for being shorter than you girls?
@insteadfew clearly you misunderstood... we were “fawning over them” and dated them or wanted to. Not so much because of their height but because of how they had handsome faces, awesome personalities and carried themselves without complaining about their height like most
Oh you mean you girls sort of liked them although they were your height or somewhat just taller?
@insteadfew exactly. Not many guys complain about their height in person like you see the majority do on this site
And these short men were even comfortable with being around taller girls?
@insteadfew yes a lot of them had tall gfs. Like i said height didn't seem to become a big deal until college years or after for a lot of people
So height is a big deal after college?
@insteadfew from what I've seen because a lot of people didn't seem to care before then
Saying things loudly does not make them trtue. What IS true is thatr women prefer tall men.
Do you suffer from short guy syndrome?
What is the point? Everyone knows women prefer tall men so short men should just what? What is your advice to short men?
Denial and rejection are two different things. Rejection is a part of life and nothing to be afraid of. I encourage people to live their life not make excuses about something they can't do anything about. If short guys or any guys don't know that women prefer tall men then they have a lot to learn and hope they educate themselves.
Men need to stop crying about being damaged from rejection. No wonder our men are so feminized today because other men are telling them not to be men, not to do what men should be doing and that's going after what they want and getting rejected along the way.
Of course I do. Do the majority of short men who get rejected develop a mental illness? No. So mental illness and what I am talking about are two different things.
Do you believe they do? Send me some citations of these poor bastards getting a mental illness due to being rejected. I will never stop pushing men into the direction of rejection. Never. Men need rejection in their life. It's part of a man becoming a man.
m not in person...
but I've certainly tripped on so many... here at G@G
watch your step...
I worked with a guy like that. He had rather profound psychological issues but I'm not sure it was all due to being short.
I already has date and be in previous relationship with shorter men and they no problem getting women that had attracted to short men. tons of girls ruining after them. some of them were cheaters that i been in relationship with and has be more on short side , i'm 5ft. i also went to learning disability college
How shorter did you date?
I didn't know there height but some of them were shorter then part from two that were tall but didn't like them since they send mixed signal. short men did tell me from start if they has a girlfriend or not while i was in college. some short guys were not like that and some did led me on. i seen more with some tall men that did give me mixed signal and one was creepy
Several here on gag. Most of the guys who are shorter than average in real life that I know have less issues getting women than I did when I was dating.
The only thing I ever get asked is aren't you going to be insecure when I wear high heels and I'm taller than you? Huh? Oh no I don't care.
remember I'm 5'5" so every girl I meet is basically the same height as me. Makes kissing and eye contact a lot easier.
I've met guys who suffer from that , for sure , its an attitude.
Two people I was friends with had that bad, one of them was even taller than me at 6 2
I only see this on GaG, I have never met anyone irl cry about being short & I see alotta dudes shorter then me with chick's all the time. Even my dad is shorter then me lol I have only seen women online say they don't like short guys but I see tons of women settle up.
Yes. Someone on this site lol. I don't have anything against him. But he blocked me anyway. So,... oh well! 🤷
Seem like quite a few on here. In real life, my vertically-challenged male friends have little problem getting dates.
I've unfortunately known them in real life too. Almost dated one, terrible experience. I don't recommend. Stay away from them at all costs you aren't responsible for their misery.
What about a short man attracted you to him , initially?
@insteadfew I wasn't attracted to him, that's why we never dated.
What was his height?
@insteadfew I think 5'3". I'm 5'2".
The Napoleon complex is fucking annoying when you actually run into it.
Anything they end up perceiving as "manly," they end up trying to overdose on it.
I don't know them personally but I have seen few anonymous post about being insecure for short height.
You do not know short insecure men?
@insteadfew I don't know them personally. Infact I have an uncle who is shorter than me and his wife but he was and is not insecure about his height at all. He's 5'0-5'1 I guess.
He is even shorter than his wife? 😲🥺😳
@insteadfew yeah, she's slightly taller than him. Like few centimetres but even she doesn't mind it.
How tall are their children?
@insteadfew they're still kids! His eldest son is studying in grade 1 and his younger son is still a toddler whose speaking isn't clear yet.
Oh.. young boys! How old is your uncle then
@insteadfew he's pretty young, in his early 30's I guess.
Damn young uncle 🤣
@insteadfew yeah I know right
Yes. A teacher I had in HS comes to mind. He was a complete asshole, trying to be a badass. I don't know how tall he was but I was several inches taller than him when I was 15. Wasn't too sad when I saw a while ago that he died at 54.
Many. I always meet him at the pub when he's had too much to drink. Fighty guy! I'm gangly, slender. Bit of a willow switch. Some of these midgets weighing in at 215. Awkward. Nervous. I just brand him with a pool cue. Works a charm.
I think its called Napoleon syndrome.
That is something different. That is being short and being pissed off about it in my opinion.
Based on your description it sounds like you're describing the same thing man. Help me understand If you think Im misunderstanding you. Here's the definition I found on Wikipedia.
"The "Napoleon complex", known informally as small man syndrome, is a syndrome normally attributed to people of short stature. It is characterized by overly-aggressive or domineering social behavior, such as lying about earnings, and carries the implication that such behavior is compensatory for the subject's physical or social shortcomings. In psychology, the Napoleon complex is regarded as a derogatory social stereotype."
Well if that is the case then yeah. Totally not what I was wanting to project.
This was based off an article from David Wygant who helps men. This article was talking about short guys who blame their height on not getting women. Title was the same as mine. Nothing to do with what you are saying but I see what you mean.
Here I've known one. And he wasn't short. But it was in his head. He was so hard on himself, until the very end, he never changed mind on this.
I've known a few. I'm 4ft6 and I'm only attracted to men over 6ft. My boyfriend is 6ft7. This pisses a lot of short guys off for some reason.
LOL.
You see shor men as sissy?
@insteadfew no buts it's more like having a baby brother
How would a 5'6 guy be your baby brother when tou are just 4'6?
@insteadfew just feels like it.
You weird then 😂
You yourself are so short 😜
@insteadfew no most girls view short guys this way. Something so masculine about a tall guy.
You lack height 😂 and you say so.. hahaha no one will take your joke seriously 😅
Chill
Dude.
”You’re going to miss all the short guys walking around who are getting laid”
Can we at least stop lying here?
Women don’t like short Mfers
I’m 5’7 done just fine my entire life. I’m not the only one. Let’s stop lying that somehow if you’re short you can’t attract any woman …nonsense
Doubt it. You spend way too much time on the internet for somebody that’s suppossedly doing well with women
And most of your advice is bs too by the way
LOL You do you boo
My boyfriend is 5'2, I'm 6'2. At first, he hated it. But eventually he didn't mind and has now come to love it. I love having a shorter partner because I feel as though I can protect him
Ah gay? So he is submissive and bottom one?
He's a switch, actually. But yeah a sub switch
Is he insecure about short height especially around girls?
He says very minimally
More insecure about being short around guys?
He says yes, but as long as his partner doesn't mind the height difference he's cool with it.
I'm 5'8", and my best friend is over 6". I'm single virgin, he's married and living in his own house. Wer're both 34 or close to it
Are you virgins on purpose?
So you are single and virgin because of your height?
@insteadfew Apparently
Sorta
But 5'8 isn't thaaat short
@insteadfew Compared to my over 5' best friend, it is
All the short guy friends I have are pretty boys and in great shape they have no trouble attracting women
Only too well. My father had it, and one of my managers. Oddly he was one of the few managers I didn't get on with.
Only on GAG , but I haven’t met anyone that actually said that to me
It's the biggest excuse I have ever heard. In fact I have never hear of this till I cane on this site !!
Yes, mostly online though
In real life the short men are ok?
How tall are you?
Almost same :/
If a man is that height and just average in looks then?
How tall are their wives / GFS?
Hah kk. Wow , some of the taller girls got into relationship with short men! Why
Not personally. Most guys are shorter than me. And most the short guys I know are happily married... well as happy as you can be married. 😂
I do of course many on GAG 🤣
Why would any in real life open up about his insecurity to you?
Yes I know some short motherfuckers, their asses rub on the curb and they usually have a chip on their shoulder.
who cares what they think just live your life.
Yes & most of them are right here on GAG.
I'm 5.9 . But I attracted sexually more to girls taller than me
Do tall girls feel attracted to you?
Yes, but he no longer posts questions here on GaG.
my little brother...
What's his height?
Ah ok. And how tall are you?
So precise 🤔😲🤣
Nice height by the way.
How tall do you like guys?
6'5? What say?
Great 👍
The taller the better
Only a few short guys.
Tall women have it worse.
Yeah 😞😞😞
