Define "small man syndome" for me

[big_bad_buff]

Syndrome defined: A group of symptoms that collectively indicate or characterize a disease,

So, for this to be accurate, you would have to explain a few occasions that you have witnessed this, or more than one person replying and explaining there stories as well. just hearing one would not classify as a syndrome

I’ve been a member to 4 different gyms, lasting at least a year or two in each, and to be honest, I have never witnessed this "small man syndrome" besides the stuff I hear about. I’ve seen pricks of all sizes, most of the pricks are teenagers and some younger college guys. But everyone I see in the gym shows each other with respect. Tall, short, fat, skinny etc. But, I have seen a few bigger guys with attitudes. Treating everyone smaller like crap. By bigger, I mean someone who not necessary has more muscle, just taller, and maybe fuller than the smaller individuals.

I see it all the time...both personally and in the gym.

Little guys seem to have a complex about..well....being small.

Yip..........seems quite common.

 

[big_bad_buff]

I take it that there is no such thing

did my post bother you this much BBB? holy shit, i hit a major nerve obviously.

thats why they relate it to napolean syndrome...trying to conquer evrything to make up for insecurities in being small.

 

[Ruiner]

ah yes, the napoleanic complex. rampant on this board.

 

[Imnotdutch]

Do a search on Napoleanic Complex. That name was coined for a reason........this is such a common problem that it was given its own name.

For an example, see your response to Ruiner's other thread. Perfect example.....

no, I honestly took no offence to it. I have never seen this. Like I said, I see pricks of all sizes. I’m comfortable with my size even though there are draw backs with most things in life. who wouldn’t want to be 6”2. but I don’t feel like less of person like you and Imnotdutch are implying or hope to inflict on everyone. I just think it’s aggravating to hear about it, but never see. It must be like if someone acts like a dick to you guys, you instantly think it’s because that you have something that that person doesn’t. looks, height, strength, whatever it may be…I’m sure there are smaller guys that think this way, I’m not saying there is not, I just have not witnessed it yet. And still have yet to hear about someone’s experience with it.

Whenever I go to a bar I can pretty much guarantee that somebody will try to pick a fight.........that somebody is always shorter than 5'10". The taller guys never try it.......just shorter guys. My 6'3" brother has a similar problem.

go read my first post on that thread. then tell me what im thinking ok?

 

[big_bad_buff]

Well, I imagine a fare ammount of the worlds population is under 6'4 and 6'3. and even under 5"11 I wouldn’t relate someone wanting to fight you with height.

I said 5'10 or under. So your numbers mean little. The bit after 5'11 makes no sense........was it in english?

 

[big_bad_buff]

well you probably look like a queer. could that have anything to do with it?

What does a queer look like?

Not to mention that your idea doesnt dispute the fact that it is always midgets that try it on.

 

[big_bad_buff]

it is always midgets that try what on? your ass?

[Ruiner]

Since when is 5'10 and 11 considered short?

well its not tall.

 

[Imnotdutch]

You always resort to poking fun when you can no longer respond intelligently........just something that I noticed.

[big_bad_buff]

since you started talking to the "big man"

Since when is 5'10 and 11 considered short?

 

[Imnotdutch]

Average height for a man in the UK is a little over 5'10. The average height is more for younger people. So 5'10 is short.......

 

[Imnotdutch]

since you started talking to the "big man"

Yeah BBB is big because his name says so.........so there.

 

[big_bad_buff]

No, I just get bored trying to explain things to you over and over again when I know you understand the first time and purposely re-word everything I say and try to use it against me. I'm being serious, why do you re-word everything I right?
