The loudest, most arrogant trouble makers I’ve seen in a bar are the larger metro sexuals.
Occasionally I’d see a smaller guy get beer-muscles, and think he’s tuff enough to challenge the larger dude who’s minding his own business, but the majority of the time, from what I’ve seen, the larger guys are the ones who start the most problems.
If a smaller guy defends himself from a blatent insult, or shows any sign of confidence, the larger trouble-maker guy usually blames it on ‘short-man syndrome’ and brags to all his friends about just ignoring the little twirp because he’s so small and insignificant, when in fact, they’re really scared and insecure and feel the need to intimidate those around them.
That’s what I’ve found to be true about most guys who bring up ‘shor-man syndrome’ or ‘little-man syndrome’ or whatever you want to call it.
Of course, there are immature, insecure troublemakers of all sizes and shapes who try to start fights over little things.

I so sick of hearing about Bruce Lee on this forum. WTF? Because every little guy thinks he is the next Bruce Lee? Because they are hoping they can toss “big guys” around like rag dolls? This got stupid about 6 months ago.
I call for a TSB on all stupid Bruce Lee references.[/quote]
Spoilsport.
Bu what about Bruce Lee vs. a lion or a bear? Or a lion AND a bear? As the animals circle him, Bruce would flip over the lion and land inside the bear’s reach, but before the bear could react BAM! A one inch punch from Bruce stops the bear’s heart.
The lion roars and pounces, and Bruce jumps. The king of the animals meets the king of the martial artists in mid-air, but Bruce’s devastating snap kick connects first, and breaks the lion’s neck instantly.
Then Bruce Lee goes to the arcade. His hand speed is so fast, even he doesn’t know where it comes from. He breaks some of those automatic punching machines they used to make.
I like that quote, “beer muscles”. Too funy. There’s always a litle midget getting in the way. If you have the speed and can fight you could take a bigger guy down, but if you’re outweighed by 80 lbs or so and are a normal person, there’s no contest.
I had a guy in a bar that was probably 5’ 4" throw a beer in our general direction. I told him I was gonna break him in half. (stolen from Hulk Hogan in Rocky III) He came over and appologized. Most of the short dudes you can verbally destroy them without even throwing a punch.

The African Elephant - undisputed champion of Earth’s Land Mammals. (except of course, humans)[/quote]
I would agree. A bull elephant will destroy any of these other animals, except Mike Ditka. No one has mentioned an adult giraffe either. They are pretty fierce. I saw a TLC/Discovery/NatGeo that followed lions and a giraffe killed an adult female (it’s the females do the hunting) with one kick. Never underestimate overwhelming size differences.
Yea, overwhelming size differences do matter, but when speaking of humans vs. humans, the type/quality of the size difference should also be taken into consideration.
I wouldn’t fuck with someone like, say Prof X’s size, but I’ve seen a 6’4" 380+lb fat slob who would be easy to come very close to killing in a fight for just about anyone who can take a punch.
Don’t get me wrong, a fat dude could probably pack a punch, as could anyone with an extra 40 lbs of blubber around their arms, but still…it’s not just ANY size that matters.

Well apparently all guys over 6’0 are smart, tough, can chokeslam anybody at will, and are gentle giants keeping the world safe from us violent little maniacs.
Yea right. BruceLeeWannabe proved that he is a horse’s ass, as he always does, and Mr. Chokeslam (the OP) did too. So I say we’re all pretty even, and that its asinine to judge someone on their height.
