[Closed] Small Man Syndrome - or have I just been tricked?

It's both 😆

Despite his lack of height he's obviously a great big d!ck

Using his shortness to sell his business. Clever guy.

EDIT do you lot really take everything you see online seriously?

Probably a bit Nathan Barley, but I can't see anything on that website that makes me want to refer to him as male genitalia.

I'm just a cyclist like you guys (albeit with shorter legs). There are bits on my site that could be described as content e.g. this blog post about cool furniture made from old bike bits http://jeremyparnaby.wordpress.com/2011/04/30/after-a-long-day-in-the-saddle/#comments

PS Peterfile, did you buy the book from Amazon?

Does seem a shame that he gets paid so little just because he's so much smaller than an average CEO of an average company. Poor little guy.....

Well, I'm not [i]just[/i] a cyclist.

Interesting that Ghengis Khan was only 5'1" though.

No mention of Napoleon or Hitler then?

Hmm. It doesn't seem that Ghengis Khan was that short. More like 5'10". Source please Jeremy.

I think [i]everyone[/i] was a bit smaller back then...

Genghis Khan wanted to be remembered as 5' 10" since he wasn't as comfortable with his shortness as I am. My source is the World Public Health Nutrition Association among many others. http://www.wphna.org/geoffreycannonjuly2010.asp
Who knows though.

What height are you guys? And do you measure up to me in the salary stakes?

And do you measure up to me in the salary stakes?

Takes more than a hefty salary to make a man. 🙄

I thought the important male dimensions were length and girth, not height.

True Cinnamon girl, but the size of my wallet has its attractions to the opposite sex, as I keep discovering.

As for length and girth, qwerty, I'm not adding those to my website www.jeremyparnaby.com (for those just tuning in now after Boxing Day lunch)

[i]Takes more than a hefty salary to make a man[/i]

Helps to have something to shout about if you're a short arse though.

but the size of my wallet has its attractions to the opposite sex, as I keep discovering.

You keep getting mugged by them?

jeremy dahling you're just going to attract the bimbos. Not real wimminz like me. 😀

Depends what form the mugging takes. And how does a small man spot a bimbo?

Sorry, limbo?

As an almost dwarf i find this thread slightly amusing.... 8)

but the size of my wallet has its attractions to the opposite sex...

Ah but that's just an optical illusion.

Your wallet just looks big because its made for an Adult sized person.

Most elaborate troll ever. Well done.

Least amusing fake login, evar. ➡

PS Peterfile, did you buy the book from Amazon?

I didn't Jeremy, it looked a bit rubbish. I saw a clip on the BBC website which featured Geraint Anderson, so I looked up his book after remembering the Cityboy column.

Have you ever thought about a career in the law? You could easily double that salary of yours. You'd fit in well too 🙂

I'm not a troll, though if I grew my hair a bit, I could get a walk-on part in Peer Gynt. As regards my wallet, remember that one on Pulp Fiction with Bad Motherf**cker written on it, guess what mine says

With love from mum?

Small Man, Big Wad. Had it specially made. Well, you would, wouldn't you?

😆 😆

Mines got all my Strava KOMs on it. Needless to say it's a big wallet.

Did you really have nothing better to do over the Christmas break than google yourself and then follow up the results?

Muppet Boy, I've got 3 PAs just to keep on top of that sort of thing.

And do you measure up to me in the salary stakes?

Yes.

We are talking about Japanese Yen right? Cos then I absolutely make more than 500k.

And how does a small man spot a bimbo?

With a stepladder?

So what about all us small men without big salaries how are we supposed to feel?

Honestly heightism is worse than homophobia, we can't choose wether to be benders or not.. 😕

I can't believe that, in this day and age, someone who claims to be successful is still working for a living.

5foot 4 without shooseys ?

I can't believe that, in this day and age, someone who claims to be successful is still working for a living.

Or, even worse, still working someone else 🙂

When I grow up I want to be like Jeremy...

I was like Jeremy [i]before[/i] I grew up.

jeremy can you please just tell me what your hight has to do with anything? in 2012 your hight cant really make things that difficult for your self? i mean what do you think you could do better if you was taller? why is being short such a disability in your eyes? you bang on about your hight on your website that much it gives the impression your that short you would struggle to open a door for your self.

ps. any job vaccines at the moment?

ps. any job vaccines at the moment?

Speak to your GP

I'm very happy with my height (and my salary). It's just that others look down on small men and that's just not right. They say first impressions count and that tends to favour the larger bloke. I'm out there fighting for the little guy - someone needs to. Us small ones can be legends too! Well I am anyway.

Interesting that Ghengis Khan was only 5'1" though.

Oh my word. I've just read some of the blog by the little "homunculus" 🙄 Apparently he likes to liberally sprinkle what he thinks are 'big' words around. Small man syndrome indeed. Almost every entry refers to his height at some point and the vapid content smacks of a modern day 'American Psycho' for London in the 'tweens'. I can just see him creaming his pants over whatever the Hoxton version of a fancy business card is...

YAWN.

[i]He made up for it in other ways, though...[/i]

Big salary?

Eurgh, this Jeremy bloke sounds like a prime chough nut. There is no bigger turn off than a man talking about his salary. I can actually feel myself healing over.

On another short man note, I once had a boss who was 5' 4", he was awesome and definitely didn't have short man syndrome. He laughed when I put his kid's car booster chair in the driver's seat 😆

fake

Shirley not real? No one's that desperate and pathetic are they?!

Never underestimate the desperation of a big man in a little body.
Although those who are only 5' 11.5" can often run them close in that respect...

Advertising - what a soulless dire self important industry

Oops. I see a few of you taller guys are getting prejudicial. Stop victimising us little people by using phrases like 'small man syndrome'. You've never been on the receiving end of heightism. And just because I've made a bob or two in the corporate world and want to encourage fellow homunculi to stand up and be proud, you attack me with insults. Which is exactly why I'm out there fighting in the first place. Now why can't we all get on? Shame

Few, if any, have said how tall they are, just your paranoia! I said you were desperate and pathetic, nothing about your height!

Good troll though.

Taller guy? I'm a female. I happen to ride mountain bikes. Now who's being prejudiced?...

I don't care about your height, or your bank balance. You sound like a berk, the rhyming slang origin of which I'm sure someone of your purported intellect will be aware...

Good troll though.

+1, not good enough to illicit another post my lofty heights though 🙄

It's a great parody.

I'd suggest done by an agency copywritter. (grammar is too good for a CEO or a Creative)

😆

Are Cuban heels tax deductible?

Jesus jojoA1! Do girls ride mountain bikes too? As well as small blokes? I'd never have guessed the world of mountain biking had so much pent up aggression waiting to be unleashed on random targets. What started as a good laugh has degenerated into insults. I haven't insulted anyone and won't.

This is hollythanthoughtrackworld.com!

I like it, it's a great way of having a second persona.

i mean what do you think you could do better if you was taller?

Ride a 29er?

Is 5'4" short then?

It's certainly not as short as the website makes out - it makes it look as though it's half the height of the average UK male...

Bokonon. I work in advertising. Expect a degree of exaggeration.

I'm not sure what the point of all this is...
Is it about highlighting prejudice against short men, or a practical joke trying to make ad agencies look arrogant?

Onward Communications (who JP claims to be CEO of), has no website (at least that I can find which means SEO isn't up to scratch) and apparently only him and a creative director on Linked In (no photo on either) and very few connections for senior agency people

No ad agency would go without a website - it's a prime opportunity to show the quality of their creative and strategic thinking and showcase their client list and their best work. Equally, new business and agency reputation depend massively on networking. a CEO with 88 connections on LinkedIn doesn't fit with agency behaviour...

[quote=bokonon said]Is 5'4" short then?

For an adult male, yes.

Pretty crap site for an ad agency though if it really exists.

IT'S NOT REAL!

Stop worrying. 8)

Www.onwardadvertising.co.uk. First page on Google. Our Creative Director, Sebastian Decker, is a man of few words. He designed the website. PS He doesn't know what SEO is. He sees himself as an artist

surely , the right size is when your feet touch the ground ?

Bokonon. I work in advertising. Expect a degree of exaggeration.

Ah - that explains the claimed salary.

Tiger. We are real. Well I am anyway. Sebastian lives in an entirely different world. But so do most Creative Directors. If you're a potential client with a big enough budget, we can meet for coffee?

Jeremy, what do you reckon to this for a bit of advertising?

um. that's not a website, it's a virtually blank webpage. It won't give clients any confidence in the quality of your strategic thinking, creative thinking or web/social capability. If you can't market yourselves, how'll you sell their brand?
Creative Directors IME do live in the real world - usually extraordinarily talented and insightful people if a little temperamental...
I'm really missing your point here.

I'm not a client, I have no budget, sorry. 😐

Tiger. It's almost as clever as you.

Trolllol!! Why the **** do you want to work in such a horrible world as Advertising?! on that salary Id've quit after 6 months and found a nicer life and people to be around.

Bill Hicks has thoughts on this

It's just that others look down on small men

We have to, otherwise we wouldn't see you.

OP, "Please someone tell me this is some sort of media trick to make me feel the need to spread the word of his website (which has no content)? Or is he just a tool?".

Pah!
