Short Man's Syndrome

Short Man's Syndrome is the overpoweringly devastating inferiority complex that is inextricably linked to the deadly disability and eternal curse of manletism (the crippling condition of being a manlet - a dwarfed male shorter than 5ft10). Characterized by a profound basis of manlet cope in addition to manlet rage, topped with and generous sprinkling of manlet mathematics and guy height and rounded out by a proclivity for wearing high heels, throwing hissy fits and engaging in embarrassing public catfights - the mental midget and literal subhuman Short Man's Syndrome suffering severely stunted sissy manlet is nothing short of a girlishly gnomish, microscopically minuscule and outrageously overcompensating midget monstrosity. Manlets BTFO.

Jessica: Hey, why is Tiny Tom "Man Card: Impossible" Cruise mud-wrestling that drunken midget over there? Amber: Lol, I don't know. Maybe the midget ate his high heels? Jessica: It's probably just Short Man's Syndrome. Silly manlet boys...

Short Man Syndrome

Stereotypical analysis of men of shorter stature. Based on the fact that some shorter men act more aggressive to compensate for lack of height. Yet failing to realize not every short guy is like that. Some men are just aggressive whereas others need to be more assertive. (Peep this: No two people are exactly alike)

Ex.1
Guy:That one short guy in the group tried fighting the bouncer. No reason at all. He's got short man syndrome.

Guy2: Yeah I saw that, but that other short guy was just chill in', talking and dancing with women. He's got more confidence, doesn't seem to care about his height.

short man syndrome

This typically describes a man under 5 foot 5 inches. Short man syndrome men usually have a heavier body, a small head , but a larger face, typically are going bald. A man with short man syndrome will try to overcomensate for his small stature by buying oversize cars, always lying, being very controlling, very bossy, and think they are always right. They cannot admit they are wrong. They will align themselves with the people they think can do the most for them, and will use people to their advantage, lying about everything. They will cruise myspace, facebook,...ect... for hours trying to find friends that are female (that they dont really know) just to give the impression that they are popular with the ladies.

Mike bought a oversize SUV even though he could not afford the gas, cause he wants the girls to focus on the car not that he is short. He has short man syndrome.
Nick invite every girl onto his myspace to look like he is popular.
