 | | Many shorter men claim that tall men are more often excused for coarse behavior, admired for their disregard of small matters and "small" individuals, and easily forgiven for things like accidentally knocking you down or hugging you too vigorously. |
 | | A short man, by contrast, is often in the position of proving everybody wrong — proving that a short man can achieve, a short man can take command, a short man can reach up and change that light bulb. |
 | | Both men and women respondents (short and tall) rated the short men (between five-foot-two and five-foot-five) less mature, less positive, less secure, less masculine, less successful, and less capable. |
