Do you believe short man syndrome which is also known as Napoleon complex is real?

[Anonymous]

The Napoleon complex, also known as short-man syndrome, is the belief that shorter men are more likely to display aggressive, domineering, or competitive behavior to compensate for their perceived lack of physical stature.

absolutely! Had 2 bosses with the complex.

It is true in some guys I have seen.

It's always the little ball licking midgets that try to start shit with me, but never follow through. They talk a lot of shit and then run away with their tail between their legs. It's annoying because most of the time I'm just minding my own business quietly, but I do like to fight... Like they say, beware of the quiet ones.

The funny thing is, Napoleon was even short for that time period. I believe he was of average height. I think short guys do tend to be more defensive, I don't believe they're more aggressive. Studies have shown that short men are definitely discriminated against, not only by women but at the work place.

It's real, but not necessarily common. I know several small guys, only one is a Napoleon.

Most short people do seem to be affected by it, but I can see it creating insecurities in some dudes.

No, I don't.
