I hate it when people try to brag over the internet by bringing up a stupid topic, just so they can hide their fake stats in them.
My IQ is 280, and I once choke-slammed a 300lb clone of Bruce Lee while doing a 1000lb squat!
…seriously.
Bruce Lee didn’t die… he ate a lion and transformed into Chuck Norris.
Idiots.

Yes, they’re always looking down on people.
I’d prefer if everyone taller than me would squat down as they approach me and when talking to me so they’re looking me square in the eyes and not looking down on me.

If I wanted to do that I would just put up a picture and ask you to guess my bodyfat while you were at it. What about me do you think is fake.

You may have it. Here are the symptoms:
-Itching around the vagina and/or discharge from the vagina for women
-Discharge from the penis for men
-Pain during sex, when urinating and/or in the pelvic area
-Sore throats in people who have oral sex
-Pain in the anus for people who have anal sex
-Chancre sores (painless red sores) on the genital area, anus, tongue and/or throat
-A scaly rash on the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet
-Dark urine, loose, light-colored stools, and yellow eyes and skin
-Small blisters that turn into scabs on the genital area
-Swollen glands, fever and body aches
-Unusual infections, unexplained fatigue, night sweats and weight loss
-Soft, flesh-colored warts around the genital area
The psychatrist Alfred Adler was one of the first to give any serious study to this phenomenon. He used Napoleon as a case study when describing a form of inferiority complex particular to short men. There is a real tendancy towards overly aggressive behaviour in men suffereing from this condition. Are there just plain assholes running around out there sure are. Are some of them tall and some of them short, yep. I don’t know if this guy in the bar had a ‘Napoleon Complex’ or not, did he make some comment about your height? Usually someone who actually has this problem will preface their insult or attack with “Just cause you’re tall don’t mean you can fight” or something along those lines.
All of these overly aggressive responses to a silly story seem rather telling. And 5’6" is short but I know lots of guys shorter than that who don’t show any signs of that sort of complex. This guy just sounds like a drunk asshole. There are guys, some of you have probably run into them, hell some of you might BE one of them 
Who just like to fight, they don’t care if they win or lose they just enjoy a fight and some even get off on losing, they seem to like getting their ass kicked.
After reading the posts in the many fight threads, it is pretty clear that most people here haven’t been in a fight since kindergarten.

I’ve heard Napolean was around or a little above average height during his period of time in France. His 5’2 French height is translated to about 5’6. So citing Napolean as a case of short man doesn’t make much sense because, to him, he would have been average.
Not that stereotyping any group of people makes much sense. I could say average height people who are aggressive are trying to be “better than average” (average man complex) or tall people who are aggressive are “bullies” who push people around with their height and think they are better than everyone. (tall man complex) See how easy it is to make up a complex?
Then all you have to do is confirmation bias. That is overlook everyone who doesn’t show these signs. Then when you see someone who does act a certain way, you go, Hey! they have whatever feature and are acting “x” way, they must have “insert name” complex. I’m not saying some short guys don’t act a certain way because they are short, but everyone acts a certain way because of some psychological reasoning whether tall, short, average, or whatever. It is a stupid to stereotype all individuals that fit in a certain group as having a complex that only certain (and sometimes very few) people within the group have.
Yeah, Napoleon was more like 5’7" using our current measureing system and that’s taller than the average frenchman of his time. Using him as a case study was indeed flawed. That doesn’t mean there isn’t a subset of a general inferiority complex brought about by being smaller than average.
And that type of inferiority complex does often lead to aggressive behaviour to compensate for some percieved physical deficiency.
I think the problem people have with the term is that it’s over used. Yes, many smaller guys do feel a need compensate in other ways. That doesn’t mean all of them do, if you’re not that guy then I wouldn’t be too worried about it. There are plenty of big guys who think that their size gives them priviledges not given to people of ‘lesser’ stature.
An equally irrational belief but for those who suffer from either of these conditinos, they get constant reaffirmation that they’re actions are merited. Most people avoid confrontation.
So the little guy who runs around picking fights with everyone in sight to prove his worth is usually going to find that people will back down, same goes for the big guy who bullie’s people, hell, anyone who bullies people.
As for a fight, size does matter, equally skilled and conditioned opponents, the larger/stronger fighter will usually win. Now, a smaller, skilled, well conditioned guy against a larger, fatter, slower opponent, of course the scales tip in favor of the smaller guy.
There are way too many variables in any given fight to flat out say the bigger guy will win.
And the gorilla’s most dangerous predator in the wild? The Shark, it’s true, I saw it on the Simpsons.

Altogether a nice post. And the Simpsons don’t lie.

Incidentally, kudos to tveddy for being a sheepdog, and shame on all the sheep in here crying “Wolf!”
That’s right. This thread is DONE!
Fedor > Bruce Lee
that being said.
any guy who’s like 150 starting a fight with a dude who’s like 275 UNPROVOKED, has got some serious issues.
I mean, suicide is one thing… but this is clearly mental issues.
if the big guy is starting mad shit with the little guy, then maybe I can see him wanting to brawl (even if at a loss), but otherwise, damn.
choke slammed in public is probably a real downer.
