Two of my shortest buddies fit this angry category. Then again, all my buddies fit this angry category, except one. And he's a little off, to be a good dude.

Edit: My best freind and a very close friend, were two of the coolest of the bunch. They are both deceased. I also have/had an older buudy, who was a Nam veteran. He was slow to anger too, although I think his slight herion addiction, something he never discussed with me, may have played a small factor. Come to think of it, he was alittle on the short side too. But not as short as those first two I named.

I'm between 5'8/5'9

Never had a problem attracting women:ehh:

When I was in high school I was called Little DMX hahaha:pachaha:

True, American society capitalizes on heightism. People look at being short as a genetic disadvantage yet forgetting most notorious goons are under 5'6:demonic:

Eazy E (RIP) was 5'2 yet he was well respected

At the end of the day, your attitude is based on your altitude

I know the reason why, because i used to be a small child at one point. i witnessed how peoples reactions towards me changed as i grew up.
Having a temper or a tantrum is tolerated more when you are little.

When you get taller and larger, people start to be a lot more intimated by aggressive behavior. You have to adjust accordingly.

A 5ft tall person shouting at someone, gets shouted at right back. A 6ft person shouting at someone might have the cops called on them.

Simple as that. Not a complicated thing to understand. You can't go around acting super aggressive when people are scared of you without hasher consequence. So we behave more chill. a little person never learns this lesson

Interesting take, never thought about it like that before, but makes sense. Like learned behavior that evolved based on social circumstances

Is this for both genders or just men?
I as going to say I think it apples to damn near all women, just based on that last line about feeling vulnerable and high levels of paranoia. That's alot of women I've met.

Yup to this. I was always one of the 4 or 5 tallest boys in school or the neighborhood at every age but when I hit about 8th grade I started to notice people, especially strangers, put their guard up when I'm in their presence (I'm 6'1, 250 - got up to 276 last summer but lost 25 lbs). You can see it in people's eyes and feel it. You have to be careful not to trip people out. People, especially other men, will actually pre-emptively start mess with you under the assumption that you might try to bully them. It's annoying because I'll be like "wth is happening?", then i remember that I'm big. And it must be even worse for those dudes that are "freakshow" big, like 6'5"+, 300 lbs.
