So when a shorter man has confidence and is cocky, tough, ect, he is said to have a Napoleon complex? This is what I just read. I have to admit, I have been called mightly mouse a number of times and most of the time is pissed me off but I ignored it. I guess what makes me mad about this is that Napoleon was a leader, and powerful in his time but because he was 5'6, people in todays world, or the last century atleast, have made jokes about him being short. I have seen it in cartoons and heard it in jokes. So they take this powerful leader and reduce it to a joke. Why did you do what he did? I can assure you it wasn't to make up for his height, so why joke about it!?

I have had this happen with me a few times. People would say I had the "short man complex" because I simply stood up for what I believe in. I wasn't doing it to prove I am manly, I was doing it to prove I was right and what I was doing was worth it.

It is a shame that people think men who are short with confidence have some sort of "condition" This not only shows that short men should be ashamed and insecure but shows others they should feel above them. It is all conditional thinking.

A friend of mine who is on the shorter side does MMA fighting and people always say this about him. He isn't the way he is because of his height. He grew up in a bad area and had to learn to defend himself.

The only condition here is conditioed thinking. I mean lets be honest. When people consider a physical trate a condition, one that has no good or bad effect on their health... That is sick.

So any man who is on the shorter side, who also has confidence, has a condition? What about taller guys who have confidence? I never liked this term.

This caused a lot of fights when I was younger. I know that ain't right but I am not going to be pushed around and thought of weak by other men because of my height.
