That may explain why I've never suffered short man's syndrome,

I play a lot of sports and despite my lack of physical ability, I do my fair share of winning. I find tall people to be mostly uncoordinated boobs. If you are tall and coordinated, you are probably a pro athlete, but the rest of them are awkward and generally clumsy.

I'm 5-9 and I DO HAVE SHORT MAN'S SYNDROME, in that when I see a tall person, I'm thinking "fresh meat, I'm going to grind him to a pulp". I like being short for athletics. It makes me an aggressive person in all other aspects of life.

There’s also another truth- human male bones stop growing when the body begins producing large doses of testosterone- which, in turn drives aggression. If you look at short people, most of them are hairier than the tall, lanky ones. This is another side-effect of early-onset puberty.

The aggression is probably what drives them to success.

You know, I noticed that. Tall people, at least most tall people, have been taught from the day they were able to walk to be careful of people who aren't as tall. We are taught to protect them.

I played Wide Receiver on my Sorority's Powder Puff Football team. The first time a little 5'2” sister of mine laid me out looking up at the sky on a “tackle,” I thought, “All bets are off now, sister. Eat dirt!” The little ones take advantage of our magnanimous nature.
