To be fair, "short man syndrome" refers to a PERSONALITY issue.

he wouldn't have short man syndrome if he wasn't short

if he was tall he'd just be called "a confident and competitive overachiever"

Yeah probably.

....then he didn't have a personality defect, if him being tall would've made his """""""PERSONALITY""""" great

Do you seriously not see your logical inconsistency?

short man does something

you: he has a bad personality, short man syndrome

tall man does the exact same thing

you: nice confidence bro, keep it up, you have a good personality

What are you talking about? I already agreed.

So you actually agree with us for once? You sure didn't sound like it in your original comment.

Oh I agree with a lot of things you guys say. Unfortunately your sensible ideas tend to be drowned out by the absurd exaggerations and rabid, ignorant diatribes that are posted daily.

He should be banned

you're a retard, you literally said:

"To be fair, "short man syndrome" refers to a PERSONALITY issue."

keep that in mind and re-read this:

short man does something

you: he has a bad personality, short man syndrome

tall man does the exact same thing

you: nice confidence bro, keep it up, you have a good personality

Well you're literate at least, good use of quotes. Just work on the reading comprehension.

"Just work on the reading comprehension"?

Why did you even bother responding if you weren't going to say something relevant? -_- Did you think that was clever? :2

It's not even a real condition. The OP said the headline was mocking the person's height. In fact it was referencing a theorised condition of hyper aggressiveness supposedly occurring in people insecure about their height.

Then you started screaming about whether I was claiming he had it, what I thought about aggressive tall people, and some other unintelligible noise.

re-read your initial comment, thats not what you said or even implied. everyone is aware of what "short man syndrome" is so for you to chime in with a definition is irrelevent - we're all aware that the definition implies its a personality flaw.

what we're discussing is why its PERCEIVED as a personality flaw (hint: the halo effect)

regardless, if you were to re-read everyone elses responses to you - the discussion was never about you claiming he had it (mostly because thats not what you said).

again, to remind you you said the following: "To be fair, "short man syndrome" refers to a PERSONALITY issue."

no it doesn't

Napoleon complex

"Napoleon complex" is a theorised condition occurring in people of short stature. It is characterized by overly-aggressive or domineering social behaviour, and carries the implication that such behaviour is compensatory for the subject's stature. 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. Other names for the purported condition include Napoleonic complex, Napoleon syndrome, Short Person Syndrome, and Short Man syndrome.

Weird, its almost like being picked on and shamed your entire life for something completely out of your control will mess with your head or something. Who could've known?

Explain his personality defect.

I don't know who he is or if he had any issues, but the headline refers to a (I think debunked?) personality disorder of hyper aggressiveness and self aggrandizement that it was once believed short men could develop.

[deleted]

No, it's used by normans to put down manlets.

It refers to normies who realize the genetic inferiority of short men.

Ever wondered why there isn't a 'tall man syndrome' or 'tyrone syndrome'?

Why would there be? The theory was that short men are insecure and as a result develop overly aggressive personalities. It was never proven, of course. What would Tall Man Syndrome even be?

Lol are you fucking stupid

Thanks for letting me know.

turbomanlet, but your point still stands

like the evidence for having short man syndrome is that he compared his height with other guys which is what every man does anyway

Dude was married with three kids wtfff but he's manlet?????

You could easily get looksmatch back in the “patriarchy” days

being a manlet is a death sentence

builds most impressive susprension bridge in the world
builds transport mode which changes the landscape of a nation
builds biggest ship in history with revolutionary design still copied today
"Lol compensating manlet"

Fuck the world.

Yeah LOL. Some people calling him a compensating manlet because they envy him and are trying to think of something to say that downplays his achievements. Newsflash: it doesn't and most people don't care how tall he is.

Manlets literally cannot win at life.

Succeed? You'll be mocked for being short and trying.

LDAR? You'll be mocked for caring about things that "nobody cares about" (Bull fucking shit, normshits make fun of short people like me all day long).

Kill yourself? You'll be mocked for being "shallow" (when in reality, it is the normshits that are shallow, and it is them that led him to suicide).

You literally cannot win. The best you can ever do is be a successful short man who will forever be known as that guy who is compensating for his manletness. You have short man syndrome.

The best you can ever do is be a successful short man who will forever be known as that guy who is compensating for his manletness.

There is truth to this. It fucking sucked, now I just don't give a fuck.

Ima be thorough with you, it's a blessing and a curse. On one hand of course it feels unpleasant to basically hear how some people think of you as seriously inferior because of the size of your skeleton. On the other hand, it shows how primitive and mundane most people's perspectives are, almost giving you confidence as you slowly stop being able to care what most people think...because you don't/can't respect their minds like you used to. With that said, people can and will still like and even love you dispite thinking you are compensating for your height, it just really sucks to be thought of in that way, basically as inferior, because of something outside of your control you know?

My whole entire life I've been hearing this. My mother would call me short man syndrome whenever we got into it from the time I was a little kid. My little sister picked up on this when she was young and now she does the same thing to this very day.

I joined wrestling - "short man syndrome lol" Lifted weights - "compensating" Track and field - "you jump like you are trying to make up for your height" Good grades - "you only get good grades cause you know you are only going to be able to attract women" Playing music impressively - "had to make up for your height somehow huh lol?" Tattoos - "compensating for something lol"

^ all examples if things I've heard from people ranging from family to complete strangers. It is what it is bro. We live in an insecurity based culture and a lot of people cant help but view people through that lens, along with the fact that most people really are primitive af and are subconsciously obsessed with social hierarchy and measuring others.

Short men can "win". I'm telling you lol: a disturbing amount of people are idiots, children in the mind, and they will hate on anyone that they think they are supposed to be superior to. Fuck em, let them hate and get yours.

Incredibly well said.

If you become good at anything then you're just compensating for being short.

It never began for us.

I don't see anybody mocking Al Capone, Pablo Escobar, Joaquin Guzman, Salvatore Riina and Joseph Stalin.

i wonder why people don't mock tyrants who will kill people who mock them 🤔

Relax mate, they are dead. Even if they weren't, it's not like they would have thugs scanning the internet for comments and then tracking down the people who made them. So, you are safe behind the keyboard. Well, maybe apart from Stalin but he was head of state.

el chapo isn't dead

al capone wasn't short

also i remember reading the el chapo biography, people used insulting nicknames for him all the time

you know attractive/tall/whatever people get mocked too when theyre successful. People get jealous and insecure becuase they have nothing exciting about them so they hate on people who have done things they wish they could do. Why do you think tabloids exist?

Attractive millionaire actress with a beautiful family? LOOK AT HER FUCKING STOMACH THOUGH WHAT A FAT COW.

Man who privatizes space travel? YEAH BUT HIS WIFE IS A GOLD DIGGING WHORE WHY WOULD HE HAVE SUCH LOW SELF ESTEEM IM GLAD I DONT HAVE A WIFE LIKE THAT.

Man who conquered more than half of the known world at the time? "lmao ye hes short af tho."

Woman who gets a promotion? "SHE PROBABLY SUCKED COCK FOR IT."

hilarious comedian with successful tv series? " LOL JEW NOSE"

Homosexual musician? "FUCKING FAGGOT"

it has nothing to do with being short, short just happened to be this mans quality that people pick/picked on. no matter what, people would have found something to rip on him about becuase its a coping mechanism that terrible people use to drown out their insecurity and self hate.

you know attractive/tall/whatever people get mocked too when theyre successful.

won't somebody PLEASE think of the attractive tall people?

you clearly didnt read the rest of it. Im telling you that height isnt why he was mocked, he was mocked about his height becuase he was successful.

i only care if it happens to manlets/ turbomanlets

OR perhaps loser lanklets will be propelling their insecurity and judgemental autism onto you for being healthy and successful despite your height, or lack thereof. Winning at life does NOT mean sucking up to others judgement and proposition of "standards". Winning at life means planning your dreams ahead and succeeding at them, just like the dwarf up in the article did.

Damn, this is coming from the BBC too, not some roast beast on tumblr. Brutal. Somebody smash the red button please.

Mogs me

Manlets can never win. You don't even have to actually be a manlet either. Napoleon was average height but is considered one of histories angriest manlets.

I'd rope but since I'm a manlet I probably wouldn't be able to reach the noose.

Napoleon was average height but is considered one of histories angriest manlets.

napoleon was short compared to his peers and was also an incel

Napoléon was average height, it's just enemy propaganda and the comparison with his guard that was entirely comprised of very tall men for his own propaganda purposes that made him look small.

Napoléon was average height

not compared to his fellow generals/ nobles, he was taller than the average peasant

barras, dumas, kleber and hoche were all over 6 feet

alexander of russia and the HRE were over 6 feet, even germaine de stael was taller

his guard that was entirely comprised of very tall men for his own propaganda purposes that made him look small.

he was called short before he formed the imperial guard or his first bodyguard unit, the guides

his mentor paul barras was tall and frequently made reference to napoleon being short in his memoirs

barras, dumas, kleber and hoche were all over 6 feet

alexander of russia and the HRE were over 6 feet, even germaine de stael was taller

A few people being taller than him doesn't make Napoléon short.

Also, for some of those I'm questioning your sources very heavily, because Dumas literally was never alive at a time Napoléon I was, and Alexander of Russia was not over 6 feet.

his mentor paul barras was tall and frequently made reference to napoleon being short in his memoirs

To someone that's legitimately tall, everyone seems short.

Also did you really claim a guy who was married twice, and had several mistresses, was an incel ?

A few people being taller than him doesn't make Napoléon short.

those are just examples, his height comes up time and time again in contemporary sources

Dumas literally was never alive at a time Napoléon I was

i'm talking about the author's father who served under him in italy and egypt, you can read "the black count" and it points out how even the egyptians thought he was short

alexander of russia

he still dwarfed napoleon

To someone that's legitimately tall, everyone seems short.

most men in the ruling class were legitimately tall

Also did you really claim a guy who was married twice, and had several mistresses, was an incel ?

his first wife married him for his cash and cheated on him repeatedly, his second wife was from a political marriage

his mistresses were paid/ threatened into having sex with him

If you're not a 6'2"+ conquering dictator, then you're a manlet.

He was married to Marie louis and Empress Josephine bro...and he had 6 affairs when he was with Josephine. She was a gold digger but they still bumped uglies. He got Marie Louis preg so in what fucking world is he an Incel?

He wasnt short either, he was 5'7 which was average height for men of that time, but modern men average taller so he is considered short in our day.

he had 6 affairs when he was with Josephine

he had to pay/ threaten for those affairs

He got Marie Louis preg so in what fucking world is he an Incel?

incel doesn't literally mean can't get sex, it means unfuckable dog

He wasnt short either, he was 5'7 which was average height for men of that time, but modern men average taller so he is considered short in our day.

the average man in india is 5' 5 but he's still short

the ruling class was full of tall people

modern men average taller so he is considered short in our day.

average global height is still 5' 7

http://www.todayupfeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/average-height.png

average white man, not global. Asians are shorter tha eruopeans my dood.

You said incel. Invol celibate. That means cant fuck. If youre fucking a princess enough to get her pregnant, youre not an incel you absolute moron.

average white man, not global

lol fucking racist, napoleon wasn't even white, he was a med

You said incel. Invol celibate. That means cant fuck.

are you normsplaining me? i know what incel means buddy

clearly you dont. And saying that euro does not equal global doesn't make me racist you turkey.

And saying that euro does not equal global

so is it asians can't come to the west now? or is it asians don't count as people? you're a racist buddy

Well theres more asians in the west than the east, and black and white people are taller that asians....hmmm i wonder if the east has more black and white people tha. it does asians. this is a head scratcher.

what the fuck does this have to do with you saying "global average doesn't count"

whether someone is short in the west doesn't matter

Napoleon was whiter than white. I don't think there ever was a pastier general in history. And Corsicans are not as mixed as Sicilians to the south because they have never been occupied by any Caliphate. As anyone remotely educated would know, Napoleon was Corsican.

Napoleon was whiter than white.

the fuck he was, he had sallow, yellowish skin and people frequently made reference to him being a corsican

I don't think there ever was a pastier general in history.

his early portraits were whitewashed, napoleon at fontainebleu shows his skin tone

As anyone remotely educated would know, Napoleon was Corsican.

and in the 19th century corsicans were treated as a different, more savage and primitive race

Of course its a roastie "writer".

Wah wah wah

Whine about something that wasn’t even directed at you.

He's a great engineer being mocked for his height, how would you feel if people told you that you are stupid just because you are a woman?

You are stupid but you don't do it to compensate for being a woman, just as Isambard wasn't a great engineer to compensate for his height.

Did you even read the rest of the article?

it's always been like this, if you are a not a normie you just can't win successful ugly person = compensating freak successful short person = manlet with napoleon complex

True story, the last guy I slept with is 5'4" (2 inches shorter than me), and 15 years older than me, and he's a total womanizer and does really well with women. I found him incredibly sexy. Height really doesn't matter, you guys are just desperate to blame things you can't change for your lack of success.

Stop lying to men online for the sake of your own selfish feelings. Height fucking matters. It's fucking obvious. You are a virtue signaling clown and everyone here with a brain should block you like I'm going to.

Not lying. With a confident personality, it really doesn't matter. Height is attractive, yes, but being short isn't "the end" like so many people would like to believe here.

Confidence is bullshit. Appearance is the meaning of life to women; the way a man looks is the meaning of his life to females. Women see how they feel not what is. When they see a short man or ugly man etc his actions and behaviors are perceived through the filter of their looks by women. A "confident" short man is a compensating try hard to women.

Stop lying to men for the sake of your own feelings. It's selfish, wrong, evidence of your lack of objectivity and proves your lack of depth. Evidence of the black pill and the fact that most women are severely more shallow and entitled than most men is everywhere and continues to spread, all because of how women obviously are. Your lies can't and won't stop the truth. Stop lying to men, stop lying to yourself.

Not lying. Everything I just said about my my personal experience is 100% true, I really have been with several short men over the course of my life thus far, and have also developed feelings for guys I had no initial attraction to over time because they were great people, and that's sexy. If you stopped being so bitter and hateful you'd have a lot more success in the world.

I have success. I've had sex. The black pill is still real and true. Take your just world fallacy Disney bullshit somewhere else

Success != sex lol

I mentioned them separately, in two separate sentences for a reason. Your desire to assume I am a loser or also a virgin because of the fact that I believe the black pill is true or comment here proves much.

Lmao, if anything she was the one that implied that attractiveness and sexyness were equivalent to success if you read carefully.

Bro, awalt. She's just another stubborn retard. Closed minded and morally self righteous, lacking curiosity as usual. Just block her and move on bro, block and move on

True

True.

Read the article, this incel was mocking himself LOL. BBC just mentioning the fact that he did.

Fuck sake, the man helped build the UK and he gets fucking ridiculed.

Why don't you dumb insecure faggots read the article and notice that he never actually cites his height as an issue, but rather his own insecurity?

Is it, perhaps, because you are too caught up in the idea that you're a loser FOR NO FAULT OF YOUR OWN but rather because you're such a woe-is-me, I'm-so-perfect character that you can't even notice when you're being a fucking moron? No, of course not. It's Chad's fault.

Do you genuinely not understand why no one has sympathy for you?

Finally some truth

Keep arguing with caricatures.
