Napoleon Complex

[EthiopianMaxxer]

Napoleon Complex (or "short man syndrome") is a term used (by mostly women) against short men for not acting like a jester or punching bag like people want them to be. The term comes from the idea that Napoleon’s attempts to dominate Europe were meant to compensate for his "short" stature.

Researchers from the University of Central Lancashire conducting an experiment for the BBC found taller men were more likely to lose their temper:

Spoiler: Study

Men of different heights (ten men of 'average height' and ten men 5'5 or below) duelled with wooden sticks but one of the subjects deliberately provoked the other by rapping them across the knuckles. The research was designed to test Napoleon Complex - the theory that shorter men are more aggressive to dominate those who are taller than them. Heart monitors revealed it was the taller men who flew off the handle more quickly and hit back.
Yes ik it's a small sample size.

This could be due to the fact that short men cannot afford to fight against others due to their disadvantage in strength, giving them less experience with fighting and therefore less aggressive than average/tall men. The infamous halo effect also plays a clear role.

TL;DR: "Napoleon Complex" is a hoax. In reality, it is an attempt to justify hatred for short men.

Women and taller guys will make fun of short men for their entire lives, and then wonder why most are easier to anger

How tall were you, and how tall are you now?

Theyll try to convince you that you have it, until you eventually get mad and that somehow proves “muh short man syndrome”

This is possibly the most retarded comment I've read this week

 

[Jimcel]

Napoleon was actually average for his time.

True, he wasn't short nor incompetent.

This was propaganda to make us brits less scared of napoleon at the time

 

[Former Shortcel]

How tall were you, and how tall are you now?

I had a CDGP, and my bone age was delayed by 3 years. So when i just turned 16 my bone age was delayed by 3 years

I was on TRT for 6 months once i got my Xrays and bloodwork back at 16. One injection a month which is when i had my largest growth spurt

I was just about 5’3 before, now im 6ft two and a half years later

Height is not that important tbh, I say all the time it only seems to be much of a mog when someone is like 6'6 or something but literally 5'9 and 6'2 do not look too far apart in real life, Also Napoleon is a super soldier who is royalty, even if you mogged him in height by a foot he would still seem much more developed as a male than you and his presence would be hard to ignore, height is not everything maybe from the standpoint of if you are 5'3 as a white male in today's society but even still the Internet just knows it's a soft spot, having a small dick is much worse

I dont even use reddit anymore, and i only scrolled that subreddit because i felt acknowledged on all my experiences as a manlet

 

[accutanefuckedme]

How so

"Disadvantage in strength" firstly, height ≠strength. That is pure common sense, And strength ≠fighting experience. Your fighting experience will not be determined by how strong you are, it will be determined on whether you do a martial art sport or not, or whether you're retarded and get into street or school fights which is just a sign of very low iq. Lastly people who know how to fight usually does not seek it, It's more the overconfident people who does not know how to fight that seeks it. The study you found seems accurate but your explanation to why is just cagefuel.

Obviously height cannot fully determine strength, but there is definitely a positive association between height and strength. Yes your fighting experience will not be determined by strength, but again there will be an association.

Good point, I understand this part

That's not really true, if you're 6'3 untrained and let's say 15%bf you will lift approximately the same amount of weight as someone who's 5'7 25%bf and untrained

Yes your fighting experience will not be determined by strength, but again there will be an association.

That's true when you learn how to fight and get experience it is natural for you to be interested in working out meaning you get stronger

Good point, I understand this part
