A man who is below average height for his age group, and is aggressive to compensate for his shortness.
by ijderrick November 09, 2021
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.

1)Where a person of short stature believes they have the ability to take on any person at any task. It is a general cockiness that is in a short person to replace the lack of height. Beware of anyone with short man syndrome.
2)When someone who is short gets an unfair natural advantage in some type of physical activity i.e. running, stretching, squating, benching, etc.

1)Guy 1 "Man why is Matt so aggressive towards me?"
Guy 2 "Because dude he has short man syndrome"
2)Guy 1 "I don't get why that guy can squat so much and run so fast."
Guy 2 "Well just look at him he has short man syndrome."

Short Man Syndrome: the typical characteristic of any male under 5'10". Including attitude problems, and the necessary need to make their wife/girlfriend feel inadequate to compensate their own inadequacy. Tendency to be bullies and abuse people to make themselves feel better.
And all short men are in denial of it!

When some short guys think they need to act tough to make up for their short stature. They may also try extra hard to get hold of any women.
"Paul is a little guy with a big ego. He's 5 foot 4 but has biceps the size of boulders. He also looks extra hard for girls on Snapchat or Instagram who he doesn't even know, to act like he can get a girl. Definition of Short Man Syndrome
