If you have victimized by a so-called short king, you may be entitled to compensation.

A group of Polish scientists have found that short men “may actually be evolutionarily hardwired” to what’s known as the “dark triad” personality traits, associated with more confrontational behavior. Basically, those include psychopathy (lack of empathy and anti-social behaviors), narcissism (self-centredness), and Machiavellianism (manipulation and indifference towards mortality). If you read these traits and someone you know comes to mind, there’s a good chance they are below 5’8″.

If you find yourself being victimized by a short man, remember, it’s not his fault. Science shows that they’re just more damaged than men who are vertically blessed.
