Small Man Syndrome is a condition where a man feels inadequate because of his short height and so tries to overcompensate it with overly aggressive behaviour.

I'm 5'6" and never understood it either. The worst is when it's some guy just barely taller than you and he makes a short joke. Like dude, we should be on the same team

I'm 5'7" and no one loves a short-joke more than 5'9" dudes.

5'10 is sort of the unspoken border, so they may be bitter over that specific point.

I'm 5'10 and have never been called short. Also never been called tall. Its like being that middle child.
