Short Girl 

A girl who's height ranges from 5" 3 and lower. Usually very light somewhat chubby or very skinny. Use caution: Short jokes are a major turn off, they are sensitive about the subject. They are a perfect companion for a tall male in all aspects, they can reach objects that a tall male must bend down for, as a tall male can reach things on the "top shelf" that the short stature of the small girl limits.

Tall people develop (not always but often) back, leg, and knee problems, a short girl is perfect to have to aid this.
"Look at that short girl! She's so tiny! I want her!"

"Calm down short girl you may combust from excitement"

short girl syndrome 

A girl who has an aggressive attitude due to her height and people always looking down on her.
She cute but honestly when she talks you can tell she has short girl syndrome

short girl syndrome 

A short girl (5'8" or under) who will only date tall men (generally 6' or over) as she is insecure about her own lack of height, and wants to compensate.

Note "short girl" means short in terms of male height - the short girl is very insecure, so measures her height against both men and women, not just women.

She is very intent on compensating - but will very rarely admit that that is why she loves tall guys. For her, generally, the taller the better. May be insecure in other areas, for example weight, her own facial features.
"Yeah, any guy I date simply has to be over 6 foot tall"

"Although I'm only 5'6", I just wouldn't feel comfortable dating a guy who is shorter than 6'2""

"She's only dating him to compensate for her height. Short girl syndrome!"

"She's got serious short girl syndrome - he's nearly a foot taller than her!"
