Due to recurring posts about women being abused by short spouses, boyfriends and significant other, most people believe that men below the average male height of 5"6 are highly insecure. Also known as the 'Napoleon complex', short men are lavish spenders, pamper their women and love to be noticed, but overcompensate for their lack of stature with self-importance, jealousy and aggression.

Reason for analysis: Anger issues, failed marriage, spousal abuse

Tall men are seen by women as being healthier, fitter and stronger, looking all round the better catch. Tall people may be more confident, safe in the knowledge they will never be overlooked. That confidence may translate into better exam results, career prospects and love lives.

Note:
A rebuttal to this argument is that many short men are easy-going and passive. Gandhi was just 5ft 3in. Not all short men fits this stereotype.

Short man syndrome really does exist, Oxford University academics have found, after a study showed feeling smaller makes people paranoid, distrustful and scared of others. Professor Daniel Freeman, who led the Medical Research Council-funded study, said: "Being tall is associated with greater career and relationship success. "Height is taken to convey authority, and we feel taller when we feel more powerful. It is little wonder then that men and women tend to over-report their height.


The experience of being shorter increased reports of negative feelings, such as being incompetent, dislikeable or inferior. It provides a key insight into fear and paranoia, showing that people's excessive mistrust of others directly builds upon their own negative feelings about themselves. “The important treatment implication for severe paranoia that we can take from this study is that if we help people to feel more self-confident then they will be less mistrustful.”

Height-reduced participants were more likely to think someone else in the virtual train carriage was deliberately staring, thinking badly about them, or trying to cause distress.

Researchers believe the findings demonstrate the psychologically detrimental effect of experiencing social situations from a position closer to the ground.

"In this study we reduced people's height, which led to a striking consequence: people felt inferior and this caused them to feel overly mistrustful. This all happened in a virtual reality simulation, but we know that people behave in VR as they do in real life. Participants in the study experienced the same simulated tube journey twice, once at their normal height and the second time from the perspective of someone 10in (25cm) shorter.

On both journeys, the other virtual passengers in the carriage were programmed to be "neutral" and not do anything to provoke feelings of fear or mistrust. "The results were very clear: lowering of height led to more negative evaluations of the self compared with others and greater levels of paranoia," said the scientists writing in the journal Psychiatry Research.

The findings were said to lend support to previous studies linking height and social status, and show how low self-esteem can lead to paranoid thoughts. "For people whose lives are affected by paranoid thinking, this study provides useful insights on the role of height and how this can influence a person's sense of mistrust."
