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.

[Kaazsz]

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]

😂😂😂😂😂

[ChiTown33]

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.

[Opinion Owner]

"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.

[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.

[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? 🤷‍♂️

[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.

[FýrdracaDócincel]

They don't.

You just can't see the "attitudes" that taller men have because you find them more attractive.

[noelic]

Maybe increase the size of your social circle first?

[DDpsy]

Kim is not at all short for North Korea. He very big guy... he taller than Denis Rodman

[buttcrackjoe]

Lmao wut

[pizzalovershouse]

cuz they get picked on so much about height they let it hurt them so they want to make others feel the way they have instead of letting it go an be a niced person

[Anonymous]

I'm 5'5, most everybody, of all ages, gets along with me wonderful, women also love me, even where not romantically, or sexually, men or women, always have fun around me.

[Screenwriter]

I'm very short, my former husband was on 5'7 and our son is 5'5. He's very confident and assured. He knows some women won't choose him, but I think he's more worried about making a good salary than his height. He attracts women and has had a few girlfriends he likes at 23. Everyone isn't burdened with syndrome, Napoleonic or otherwise. I do know women who will absolutely not go out with anyone shorter than 6 feet. This is unfortunate because people over that height are in the minority. They'll wake up someday and my son will be waiting with his good salary, great teeth, hair and brain...

[Opinion Owner]

@Screenwriter Napoleon was actually 5'7, the "complex" came from British propaganda against the French, but who cares about facts these days lol.

Your son sounds like me, confident, good shape, diet, always reading/learning, and get along great with others. I've got no complaints, had I been handed too much, I might be more miserable, look at many celebrities.

[Screenwriter]

Funnily enough, Napoleon required that his troops be taller than 5'11", so he killed off all the tall Frenchmen for several hundred years. (all the short guys were left at home to procreate) It's only recently that Frenchmen are as tall as they were 200 years ago, which is above average... Though the Dutch, for some reason, are the tallest.. or the Danes... I forget..

[SomeGuyCalledTom]

So your question is just framing as if this is an established truth. Show us evidence of your claim.

[Neeceeb7]

They have a chip on their shoulder from bring bullied

[Creepazoid]

How short do they have to be. Im planning on running for president and i want mexico and Canada to be U. S. territory.

[TonyBologna25]

Short men sort of get treated like shit, so they are forced to develop a certain attitude to protect themselves emotionally.

[Anonymous]

Only short men I've known were highly self confident and well adjusted. Know a lot of big guys whose heads are screwed on wrong. Ain't about height.

[Emmalouise03]

it's like little dogs barking thinking they're big dogs>.< awe

[KristiBreaksTheRule]

This question basically just asks people to trashtalk short guys lol
Did you get rejected by a short guy or something? or are you genuinely this stupid?

[Asker]

I rejected many short guys. You're free to date them now.

[Asker]

I leave all the ugly guys for you. Enjoy haha

[KristiBreaksTheRule]

cool story Asker, I hope you find a man one day

[chris0977]

Every short guy just dodged a bullet; a woman who will laugh at others, for something outside their control, when they did nothing to her, what does this say about the rest of her personality for whoever does date her? I'd be grateful to know she's this arrogant, judgmental, and narcissistic up front.

[Asker]

There are literally hundreds of people that get picked on for something out of their control. Short guys are no special.

[Asker]

And I don't laugh at short guys. I just reject them as a boyfriend and then they go crazy like you. They are welcome to be my friends.

[KristiBreaksTheRule]

@Asker You might say you don't laugh at short guys but the image you posted clearly makes fun of them, and you also got butthurt over the comments calling you out that you actually select two comments that make fun of them as MHO

We don't see you rejecting short guys, we've only seen short guys rejecting you, e. g in this thread 🤔

[Asker]

😂😂😂😂 I don't want short guys so there's no question of them rejecting me. Like I said, I reject them for the ones like you 😂😂😂😂

[chris0977]

You say "I don't laugh at short guys" but you do make fun of them, both expressions of arrogance based on a temporary quality (desirability from tallness) because, once your looks fade, your tallness will matter little in terms of attractiveness and desirability within society.

[chris0977]

"There are literally hundreds of people that get picked on for something out of their control. Short guys are no special."

I'm going to pick on you for your stupidity. You can attack individuals, present yourself as superior, yet you've addressed virtually no arguments made with logic, reason, or any evidence of intelligence, only ego superiority... I'll put your back against the wall now, let's hear you actually present counter arguments, not empty attacks on individuals... I dare you, you think your height makes you amazing by default.

A giraffe can be 20 feet tall, but will never achieve what a human will, because power is in the brain, not body... try me... make a rational argument, prove height, which you value so highly, matters more than brains.

[Asker]

Your Napolean complex is really showing now 😂😂😂😂😂. This is what I was talking about.

[Asker]

PS I don't read long replies 🤣🤣🤣

[chris0977]

Three paragraphs is too long. No wonder nobody can argue with her. She doesn't have enough discipline to read anything beyond the length of a tweet. Again, give a couple decades, everything you value will be gone, you'll be chasing surgeries in a desperate effort to keep it, while what I value, my ability to focus long enough to something longer than a tweet, will still be there.

[chris0977]

Your stupidity keeps showing, try and hide it. I challenge you to not look like a moron in your next reply.

[chris0977]

Addendum: I challenge you to not look like a worthless moron in your next reply, short men only have bad attitudes when not being compared with you... make your next response a desperate attempt to prove yourself worthy to me, like all your others.

[Asker]

I don't have to prove my worth to a worthless little internet warrior 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[chris0977]

And, yet, you continue to reply, which in itself is an effort to prove yourself, otherwise, leave it alone, since there's nothing to prove, unless there is, in which case, reply, prove you will do what I tell you like an obedient, weak-minded good girl, in an effort to continue to attempt to prove yourself worthy.

[KristiBreaksTheRule]

It's not a question of short guys rejecting you, they just do 😂😂😂 that's why you're so salty.

[Asker]

No ugly whore, I reject them and you're jealous. Hot women want tall guys coz we can get them. Uglies like you side with short guys.🤣🤣🤣

[Asker]

The only thing that a short guy can be in my life is a friend (if he keeps his attitude under control) and NEVER my partner. I leave them for uglies like you.

[Asker]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 How much more do you want to be insulted? I know only short guys like you but doesn't mean they're the best 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[KristiBreaksTheRule]

This is so funny lol asker you sound like you have never been asked out before and you have no idea how it works. People are not like shoes lol there are things other than appearance when you and a guy like each other. You might be able to hide your ugly face and keep diverting the conversation from that topic but you sure couldn't hide your ugly personality at all 🤔

[skeetskeetskeet]

Because it must suck walking around with your face at dick level height all day... id be a pissed off little bastard to

[SearchingTheSoul]

Look up Rand Newman - Short People. LOL

This song didn’t make Randy very popular for quite a while.

[Anonymous]

Inferiority complex. But not always. But some do have it.

[Anonymous]

Short guys, short penises = lot of complexes and desire for compensation

[RobLovesDemi1234]

Because they get treated like shit and bullied all the time

[weirdoweirdo]

Well most of it can actually be blamed on literally everyone else but them...

[vasilias]

So I have a bad attitude? Such judgement. Plain wrong

[ronaldo75]

Same reason short women can't shut the fuck up and stop being so aggressive, they're insecure

[Anonymous]

I'm only 5'8", which is short for a man.. but, I don't have a bad attitude. I'm shy, but, I'm not an asshole

[Holy_Ghost_Fire]

Maybe compensating for the angst he has for people not liking his height.

[4lphabet5oup]

Have met (and know) short guys who have a great attitude.

[Anonymous]

because they're friend zoned and rejected by women.

[Anonymous]

I don't think this is correct information, fake news lol

[elite665]

Cause they got small dicks... simple

[GhettoGirl]

Because their penis is short too.

[wonder1985]

Their considered the same as chiwaawas

[KoshkaKitten]

Small animal syndrome 😂

[Anonymous]

Cause women don't like short guys.

[Rangers]

Never wound what you can't kill

[Bmp55]

Maybe someone pick on them one too many times

[Massageman]

Must have a Napoleon Complex.

[Anonymous]

I reject the premise.

[Opinion Owner]

Wow really?

You are going to talk about what is and isn't a valid argument after a question like this?

I think you might need to go and check up on a few things ;)

[quin_sec]

Cause they feel like they have something to prove

[PoohBoy38]

Yes, they have big stereotype problems!

[Anonymous]

There's literally zero correlation

[abc3643]

Excuse me?

[Stackattack]

Cause tall women dont look down

[ProvaAyoub]

This does not apply to all
