Short man syndrome is a real thing and the hot tempers of small men may actually be evolutionarily hard-wired into them to make up for their lack of inches, scientists believe.
Polish researchers investigating the so-called Napoleon complex — where vertically challenged men are angrier and more confrontational than their lengthier peers — found the myth was grounded in truth.
Data revealed that shorter men are more likely to behave in an antagonistic manner towards others.
The researchers theorise that when a person is not physically formidable and does not have an intimidating presence then they have to impose themselves in other ways.
This, they say, has led to men employing this tactic to “acquire resources and impress romantic partners”, in what modern pop culture calls the “short king” phenomenon.
矮個子綜合症是真實存在的,科學家們認為,矮個子男人的脾氣實際上可能是在進化上與生俱來的,以彌補他們身高的不足。
波蘭研究人員調查了所謂的拿破崙情結——他們比更高的同齡人更憤怒和更具對抗性——發現這個傳言是有根據的。
數據顯示,矮個子男性更有可能對他人表現出敵對態度。
研究人員推測,當一個人在身體上並不強大並且沒有令人生畏的存在時,他們就必須以其他方式強加於人。
他們說,這導致男性採用這種策略來“獲取資源並浪漫地打動伴侶”,現代流行文化稱之為“矮王”現象。
