what is short man syndrome?

Answer 1

Danica don't answer questions you know nothing about.

"I have been a sufferer of this condition for many years. Short Man
Syndrome
is a very real ailment that plagues many of us of lesser stature. Jokes
about it are a common occurrence, but this post is written to serve as a
bit
of an explanation and to spread knowledge to those who just don't quite
understand.

Short Man Syndrome is not something you are born with. It is a condition
brought about by socialization. When I walk my 5'6" self into a bar, I am
always on edge. Why? Because many a night have I tried to make my way to
get
a drink in a crowded bar, and been shoved by those who either didn't see
me
or pretended to not see me. I've even been standing still, and had people
walk by who push me out of the way as an object rather than a person.

Anything irritating becomes exponentially so when experienced ad nauseum.
Eventually I would begin pushing back, partially as a warning, partially
for
redemption, and partially to simply vent. That act of revenge has brought
me
close to fisticuffs on several occasions, but no amount of physical pain
could ever equal the feeling of being treated as a second-class citizen.

I have realized, though, that SMS stems from long before achieving legal
drinking age. The short kids are always picked on to a greater degree in
school. I learned a long time ago that the only hope for lessening the
torment is to stand up for yourself. It's a conditioning process that all
of
us height-challenged individuals go through.

These days I don't much care for crowded bars. I try to find more laid
back
places to go, but if I should happen to arrive at a busy pub or club, I
find
that my body instantly tenses upon entering. It's not that I'm looking for
a
fight, it's just that I need to protect that which is mine: my own
personal
space and dignity.

This post is not written to fish for sympathy or instill guilt. We all
have
our own **** to deal with and there is not a single person reading this
post
right now that doesn't have plenty of **** of their own to overcome. I'm
no
better or worse than any of you out there. This is written simply to try
and
bring the short and tall people closer together.

So tall guys, I leave you with this: The next time you're out on a
Saturday
night, please realize that the short guy you just bumped into isn't mad at
you personally, he's just tired of dealing with it in general. And I
guarantee you that if you offer him a sincere apology, you will have just
made a deeply loyal friend who will help you beat the *** of the boyfriend
of that insecure CL girl to whom you're talking who only dates guys above
6'11"."

Answer 2

Short Man Syndrome

Answer 3

Little Man Syndrome

Answer 4

Well from being married to a man who is a bit on the tall side, he has run into what he calls this syndrome... it is where the smallest guy in the bar will pick a fight with the biggest just to raise cane so to speak.... many men that I have seen who are short seem to try (SEEM TO) IMO to make up for something.
I see it as unfortunate because big or small in size makes no differrence, but I guess there will always be issues concerning this in some way or another whether male or female.

Its a big stereo type, but you cant find out about someone unless you get to know them. Short, tall, who cares! Only shallow women will go for a tall guy instead a short one.

While genetics plays a role, there are other factors, including: hormonal imbalances, an underactive thyroid gland, nutrient deficiencies and insufficient scalp circulation.

Answer 7

Sometimes men of small stature overcompensate in other areas. Big cars, big mouth, big attitude. Normally the syndrome is diagnosed based on negative behavior.

Answer 8

This is what John Price has! He works as a park ranger for the New Castle ranger district in Virginia. It is much more severe in his case than in most because he is short and bald!

Answer 9

In the fields of psychology and psychoanalysis, Napoleon complex (or Napoleon syndrome) is a colloquial term used to describe a type of inferiority complex suffered by people who are short. The term is also used more generally to describe people who are driven by a perceived handicap to overcompensate in other aspects of their lives.

Alfred Adler pioneered the psychological work on inferiority complexes, and used Napoléon Bonaparte as an example of someone who he thought was driven to extremes by a psychological need to compensate for what he saw as a handicap: his small stature (though in actuality, Napoleon's particular shortness is a myth; he was in fact slightly over 168 cm, or 5 ft 6 in, and of average height in his day). Typically people with this complex will compensate in many ways, reaching beyond their personal performance. A person with a Napoleon Complex may set pictures in their home to lower levels and make other such accommodations which will enable them to feel taller in their surroundings.

Compensatory behavior exhibited by those with a Napoleon complex may also include being overly aggressive or argumentative and a need to over-achieve, which all serve to give the person a sense of greater self worth.

An example of somebody with the Napoleon Complex is the character Curley in John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men". Curley finds the need to prove himself by fighting larger men, such as Lenny.

Answer 10

Its not an "actual syndrome". Short man syndrome is a name for the negitive attitude that a certian short man will carry, out of jealousy for taller people. If somebody says he just has short man syndrome they are saying he is only an *** because he is short and angry that he was born short!
