Why do short guys have the worst attitude?

Many people are mocked for things out of their control so that's not a valid argument.

I had a short guy friend for a while. He felt that girls were not interested in short guys.

We would go out to bars and clubs and parties. He would get shitty wasted, and complain that all the girls were looking at me when we would talk to groups of girls. But I’m just a shy guy with a pretty face and I’m tall. But at that time I was insanely shy and it didn’t matter how many girls were interested in me I couldn’t do anything with it.

Anyways, while he was getting mad that girls were looking at me, he would have girls 10 times hotter than I ever had all over him. But his short man complex held him back. Just the way my shyness held me back. I’m not sure how he was able to screw it up though. These girls would literally be physically hanging on him, touching him, hugging him. But his beliefs about being short were so deeply held that he just could never get anywhere with girls.

And I don’t blame him. I grew up friendless and alone. And girls have been all over me my whole life. And I was blind to it until recently. Maybe it makes no sense, but the pain of being alone and bullied and hated my entire childhood made it impossible for me to believe anyone could like me or love me. He felt the same way just for different reasons.

He was short, but he was good looking and ripped with 6 pack abs and nice muscles. We lifted together, he has been lifting far longer than I had. He was a smart and cool dude and any girl would be lucky to have him.

But that negative self doubt is killer. It fucks you right up the ass and makes things worse than they really are. And people who never suffered this way just can’t understand.

Well, I am a short guy (5'7") and I ain't sour at all! I'm a Math-nerd and a stand up comedian! Ping up if you wanna talk to a "cool short guy"

[Smiley_face101]

5'7 is not that short :)

[daanzaan]

@Smiley_face101 okay, deal breaker no.2 : I'm an Indian raised in a progressive Muslim family

[Asker]

Kindly define "progressive Muslim"

Napolean complex is so real. Kind of like those yappy little dogs who are always trying to start shit while the big dogs are calm and staring at them like "what is this?"

Theyre insecure because most of us prefer tall men, but that doesn't matter because plenty of women end up dating short men. I personally dont and I dont feel bad for it because men judge women based on looks all the time. But in reality, there's a lid for most cups. Having said that, society does teach us that shorter is kess masculine. Theyre overcompensating and resentful. More reasons to go for tall guys? :'^)

[Asker]

Lol..

[purplepoppy]

Before the internet, men could only get porn from magazines. These magazines were traditionally kept on the top shelf of newsagents out of the reach of children. These topshelf mags were also out of reach of shorter men leading to much anger and frustration.

[Asker]

😂😂😂😂😂

Now you're just rubbing salt in the wound. Lol

"I want a guy that's 6 foot tall or none." - common requirement.

I don't know about you, but I don't think bone lengtheners exist quite yet.

People become bitter when they realize they are barred from things they can't do anything about. There aren't any options available to increase height. Some short guys opt to get wider instead (working out). But in the end, height won't change.

To put in perspective: If I told you that I had a job opportunity that you really wanted and said 'oh, sorry you don't qualify and you never will.' you would be understandably upset.

Am short, don't really care anymore, living this life out for all the fun stuff that I do have access to. Plus I am sure there are women out there that want a pet boyfriend =-)

[LIM1T]

Can't keep up with these ridiculous standards that we have no control of

[Asker]

But men also have preferences like a certain skin, eye and hair colour.

[LIM1T]

They're called preferences not requirements @Asker

[Asker]

Are you kidding me? They are requirements indeed. Like if a guy says he likes a certain colour then he won't go for another. I've seen guys rejecting girls over these.

"A closed mind is not easy to open."
This saying applies to humans as a whole. We can all benefit from keeping an open mind.

[Anonymous]

They probably get picked on because of their height which makes them feel insecure, sad, angry and bitter.

Also they probably get rejected which makes them feel insecure, sad, angry and bitter by girls and women a lot because most women prefer to date a man who is taller than them.

[Asker]

Everyone gets picked on because of something. Should we all become rude then?

[Opinion Owner]

Some get picked on worse than others though

[Asker]

Exactly, like people from some ethnicities are picked on even more than short guys.

[Opinion Owner]

True

[constantine15]

They get picked on when they are younger. Tall guys don’t.
Most girls reject them for this reason alone.
They make less money as tall men typically get more promotions.
They aren’t respected as much, they typically have to prove themselves for everything, whereas tall guys automatically get more respect.

But in reality, their attitudes aren’t even that bad, you just notice it more because you don’t like/respect short guys and typically when you don’t like/respect someone, you notice all the bad things about them.

[mattdzz]

I don't think that there is a direct correlation between height and attitude, but I think that a shorter guy could have a bad attitude toward women, if he was currently in the dating pool and was turned down for dates because he was 5'6, as opposed to 6'5.

[Bandit74]

Well when you consider that it is something they have zero control over and that they are often mocked, disrespected, and viewed as less desirable/inferior for it then it shouldn't be that surprising if some of them develop an attitude.

[John_Doesnt]

Not true at all. And most "short-men" in history were never actually short. Napoleon was actually relatively tall, but the British spread a bunch of propaganda about him being tiny and having a short temper.

[Anonymous]

They don't. You just see them that way because you are not attracted to them.
It's the same reason why you can take 2 women with much the same personality. But one is PHAT and the other is just fat. The PHAT one is deemed by men overall to more pleasant. She's not but their attraction to her automatically erases some of the negative she might display.

[LesterJester]

"Why do short guys have the worst attitude?"

Because they spend their entire lives with the rest of the world constantly looking down at them.

[MissDawn7961]

probably because they are tired of being teased about their height which no one can control their height and become taller ! Thanks

[vivmatt]

I'm dating a 5'4''. He's the sweetest man I've ever met

[rawtoast]

maybe because they always get picked on for their height and they've had enough of it? 🤷‍♂️

[alice55]

They don't, I never meet a short guy in real life who had a bad attitude. Usually they have good personality to compense they lack of height.

[Anonymous]

Pushed around by other men, and disqualified from dating by girls, based on how they were born. I mean a fat or weak man can work out and diet. But there's no way to change your height.

Unless you're Kim jong un and can shoot people if they aren't nice to you

[Hize99]

maybe because they know it and its a self defense mechanism so that others dont remind him of it.. Every girl’s dream guy is one handsome sweet TALL guy so yeah.. it sums it all

[sugarchateau]

thats a limited perception and definitely a stereotype.

[ShadowofRegret]

Stereotypes, not all short men are like that just like how not all women are after a man's bank account.

[Mamamialetmego]

Because they are insecure, they are always in defence mode. Tall, big guys typically are nicer and way relaxed than short guys because they don't feel insecure, they don't feel they are always under attack. They are not alert all the time.

[markscott]

In defense of short people, I know some short guys who are really good decent guys.

[Anonymous]

it's crazy that all the guys saying 'short guy I've never met' have small dicks, are average guys who DO have small dicks. it's even more mental that guys saying "small guys have short dicks", have been googling "how big are mens dicks". that's a bit weird. still whatevs.

[ipxrker]

cause they gotta compensate for the shorter guy behind their zipper.
