Forget about the mantra that men only feel comfortable when they earn more than their spouses or partners. The truth lies elsewhere because the REAL MALE EGO resides in a man's size. But before you start churning out mental pornography movies in your head I sorry to disappoint you. This post is not about the size of what is housed at the junction of the lower limbs, no.
That short men are temperamental is a fact. What is least known or rather overlooked is the fact that short men have fragile egos that is often soothed with overreactions to cover for the vertical deficit. A man challenged in height makes his emotional life hell by making his pint size the frame of reference to any comments against or for him. The few who have learnt to live with such challenges end up mocking themselves and coming out the better in any relationship.
Dwarf men are very sensitive to jokes around them and easily take offense on petty things that would otherwise be wittily laughed off. Ingenious short shot men have taken to wearing high heeled shoes for that extra lift. But such creativity works for the few subtle height deficits and not the overtly above-the-ground bloke. Going to the ridiculous heights of always putting on oversize clothes only succeeds in making clones resembling statues erected in maize fields to scare birds.
Self-destructive war
Having satisfactory dialogue with short men is a nightmare to say the least. Most of them are so paranoiac about their height so much so that they would imagine that you are maliciously examining the contents of their skull by taking advantage of your length. This is rarely the case with ladies who often make the best of their sizes. True, we may be living in a patriarch world. But then borrowing a leaf from our sisters in self appreciation would be the trick to have internal peace within ourselves. That will help men immensely towards stopping self-destructive wars from within than only succeeds in robbing us of life’s little gift of bliss.
Well the air above your head is not any fresher that what goes through your nostrils. Self appreciation is the key. Making a ruckus or forming cheap mental pictures about things you have no control over is a sure source of eternal stress. Love resides in the heart and not in the height. Finding and enjoying it is premised on knowing and appreciating yourself first.
Key to overcoming negative emotions related to you height lies in being open-minded. With just some little wit, you can turn your challenged length inside out into a point of strength. If you are looking for love look for the heart and stop making one more enemy with hypersensitivity to height issues. Such obsessions only make you read malice from the lips of angels.

Ha ha ha Taabu.
Case in point Simon Cowel of American Idol. He wears shoes with a bit of lift to make him appear taller than he actually is. Your post then maybe explains why the guy is so mean.
Also reminds me of another Dude. Justice in BBA2 - Botswanan guy who had some major height problems and he made his height everyone's problem in the house.
And Taabu your silence on blogosphere is very very loud. Where art thou?
So, Taabu are you little?
