Shannon's Journal

[Shannon]

The first impression is taken of you instantly based on what you look like. Thereafter, each person will consider you based on what cues you give them for how to view you. A 5 foot tall man who has a calm, cool, with-it and in charge demeanor with nothing to prove is going to get treated as such, and Mr. Napoleon Complex will be taken as a joke.

People rely on you to tell them how to respond to and what to think of you. That's why you never want to have bad body language or use your words poorly when speaking with someone to lead them to believe something negative. Starting off with "Don't get mad, but..." or "This will make you angry, but..." is a good example. You've probably just quintulped your odds of them getting mad just because you unintentionally primed them for it based on an assumed expectation.

Let your attitude, choice of words, and body language speak as to your masculinity, not your height. Believe me, women will notice.
