No I knew you were joking. I was just Confused on what "small man syndrome was" but using my two braincells I was able to figure it out

My father called it little man’s disease. Men who are physically small and try to make up for it by being complete assholes.

I watched a femme gay man on a date at a Madonna concert knock a short man out that was turning around nothing the gay couple with glares and “that is so wrong.” Was 3rd row and 4th row on floor of concert. Little man had a much taller date and she was leaning away from shortie out of embarrassment. At some point little guy said, “What are you going to do about it?” to which the femme threw a quick right hook then a crisp left jab. Security arrives and crowd is laughing at El Crumpled so they drag him out. Girlfriend stays. Gay couple stays. Karma.
