In guys, it’s the attitude that they have to be extra masculine to “make up” for being less than average height. This usually comes off as gratingly cocky and insecure at the same time.
It's all relative. Move somewhere where the population is more Asian and you'll be the regular to tall guy. Wear some lifts in your shoes if it's that big a deal. Work harder and smarter - money is more important than looks or height any way.
Funnily enough tall men have advantages there too- they're more likely to be hired, get promotions, etc. And anyway it just sucks that being short is something you have to make up for in the first place.
I don't buy it for a second. Napoleon gets a bad rap for being "short" when he was average to talk at 5'6" at the time and he conquered a big chunk of the planet. He was from Corsica - he could barely speak the local language. The guy born with talent, charm and wit sits on his spoiled but and achieves nothing.
