What makes you believe short man syndrome or Napoleon complex is real or not real?

I definitely think it’s real. My boyfriend is rather short and I discovered that he greatly exaggerated his height on his drivers license to say that he’s 5’10” when he’s like 5’7”max.

but he’s always angry and saying he wants to kick somebody’s ass and he always walks around like he’s looking for a fight. He drives this big jacked up pick up truck and just recently put big mufflers on it. It honestly annoys me sometimes how he’s always trying to act like such a bad ass. But I’m not sure if he’s doing it to compensate for his short stature or if it’s because he’s been through a lot of stuff in his life starting back in early childhood, so I think he has a lot of trauma and insecurities which contribute to his anger and aggression. But his short height doesn’t help the situation at all

It’s very very real but I don’t blame them society media etc caused all this
I don’t think man In the 60s and earlier had this syndrome

I'm short. I see tall men get treated special all time, especially in dating and the workplace. I've written entire MyTakes about how much I despise my height and how insecure I am about it, because all the things I wanted in life, are virtually impossible without being tall.

It is real. I have it.

Firstly, it's a misnomer. Napoleon wasn't actually short.

They just invented the snide remark to get back at the French back then, and it's stuck around.

So you could say those people claiming others have a "napoleon complex" are the intellectual vagrants

I know 4’11 people….48 year olds thst try to act like bullies, are loud, and get angry when gently or directly challenged. I lost my cool with one ☝️ and said, “ look gnome, drop your pants and let’s see if it’s true what they say about little people and being pricks.”

Probably because if you go to tinder apps and other dating apps they say men be above 5'10 or more to talk to them. And I actually know females who say they like men 6ft and up.

So it is a thing, is it a big thing? Online yeah but in person NO, I think it's a small group of women but online since the whole world is online that small group of women seems big.

Funny thing is that Napoleon was actually of average height for his time. The French and English foot measurements were different lengths, and his guards were tall. It is real though, people have issues with it. I personally don't, I embrace my shortness, but I know people who don't.

"Short man syndrome" is no different than tall woman syndrome or fat woman syndrome.

None of these are syndromes. They are just people being insecure about their bodies.

yes it's REAL they have to push through to be on top

[SmokinAces2000]

I know countless short men and 90 percent of them are perfectly content with their height

Experience. Not all, but most.

Do you believe most but not all short men have aggressive personalities?

There are studies showing it to not be true.
