Short Men

I have encountered enough short men (those, say 5'7 and shorter) to know to be very careful with them. I am yet to meet one that does not harbor some ferocious napoleon complex and while it may smile and look kindly on you, be warned, it is no friend and it will not hesitate to back-stab you if that gives it some precious short-man vindication.

If you are over six feet tall you might as well wear a bull's eye to work. You are no doubt the cause of all of its woes, big and small. This applies to women also. And certainly, do not, under any circumstance make use of the word 'shortcoming' in any context.

This is perhaps the dumbest thread I've ever seen.

haha, gold.
 

Why is it when a tall guy is an asshole he's just an asshole but when a short guy is an asshole he suddenly has some medically diagnosed complex like napoleon or overcompensation?

 

Listen here, TheKing.

You do not 'try and' do anything. You 'try to' do things. The way your post reads, it would seem that, "Short dudes always try and always overcompensate." That's what you wrote, you fucking moron. I'm assuming you speak that way as well, baby dick.

It's unbelievable how illiterate some of you donkeys are. Read a book, for fuck's sake....

Hey short-stack, didn't mean to touch a nerve.

Remember, vertical stripes make you look taller.

...guess somebody forgot to take their "sense of humor" pills today

 

I think the same stands for anyone with an inferiority complex : education/height/looks/ethnicity just depends on how immature someone is I guess. Other than that i agree, dont underestimate people who may have the above issues or you wont know what hit you.

 

So at 5'8 i'm not short? sweet, but I guess this means I will have to cancel my plans to conquer europe and exterminate all the talls.

Fear us as we gaze down upon you,
 

short guys have it rough with the ladies, I always hear women say that they'd never date someone shorter than them, it's the one thing they all agree on.

I thought women overlooked everything for money.

Not always true. A girl in my sister's sorority wanted to date me, and she was taller (I am 5'10", so not that short). In hindsight I should have pursued considering who her father was (former star of my favorite NFL team).

 

when it comes to love/emotions, girls are easily manipulated.

...lol look at fucking Rasputin? have any idea how much weird sex with hot girls he had? They say he smelled bad and was very unkempt- taking showers rarely.

 

I once had a successful executive, who was short (5'6" ish), make the following comment when he was getting ragged on for his height:

"I'm not so short when standing on my wallet!"

Needless to say, everyone got a good laugh.

I'm actually 6'0'' (not particularly tall, but not short either). I just dislike bad writing and poor grammer proliferating through misuse. And I was in a bad mood, so I felt like laying down the law.

You learned the easy way that you speak/write poorly. What if we met in a business setting and you spoke like that? You would have some work to do to compensate for you poor grammar. Now, you know at least one way you can become more 'money' (in the 'Swingers' sense of the word).

You're welcome.

(P.s.) You must now call me 'sensei' when you don't have that ball gag in your mouth.
