Bear Pride 2013 Chronicles: 02

He looked familiar, even though I had never seen a little person at a bear run before, but he was cute. Since it was a mixer, and everyone was having a good time, I went up to him, smiled, put my hand on his back and another on his stomach, and said, "Yeah, you're cute ( Read more... )

Reverse Napoleon syndrome? He was hoping to be the big little guy on campus? Or he just hates being short?

Years ago at work there was a tiny man who never missed an opportunity to take digs at "tall" people. Complaints about table heights, test console design, how he has to work so hard to get ahead and be taken seriously, you name it. These were practically speeches. And almost all out of context and unnecessary. I finally had enough one day and I put all the calibrated equipment I had finished up with on the highest shelf I could find in the lab.

Some people are only happy being unhappy. It's a twisted sort of power trip.

The way you completely embrace your size (and use it so well ^_~) is awesomesauce.

Look, the way I see it: I am at this size whether I like it or not. And I could be miserable and focus on the negatives, but you know what? There are some fantastic positives to the way I am, and I love it. Some of the most erotic moments in my life, have been because of my size, and I wouldn't trade it.

Some people? Yeah, they just like to be miserable, I guess. Like that'll solve anything.

Angry Dwarf Guy™ was a better moniker.

He's the only dwarf in the village!

He was at this bear run. And I agree. ^_-

That little guy has a bad attitude.

Apparently, you were his designated target for that weekend. This is a sad fact of life, but there's plenty of miserable people out there who enjoy pushing their unhappiness onto others.

It is no reflection on you.

But it does say plenty about him.

*BIG HUGS*

We ran into a little person at the Eagle two weekends ago. He was hot. I wanted to have a conversation with him, but I was tired (like on the verge of collapse tired) and he was drunk and cruising at high speed for somebody to go home with, so it just wasn't gonna happen.

(No matter how attractive they are, I don't develop interest in doing anything (well, other than ogling) until I've gotten to know them as a person. And I don't really drink, so bars are often perplexing to me.)

Just another perspective. From the way you've described it, the first thing you did when you encountered him was touch him. Little people are often objectified, but less as fetish objects than as a source of fascination by big people, who feel entitled, through the novelty of encountering a little person, to touch them, ask probing, personal questions and otherwise treat them as something other than a person. (Trans folk get this, too). It's a distinct possibility that by entering his personal space, you set off his personal safety alarms and tapped into his defensive systems. If that's the case, your continued efforts at introducing yourself (without an apology he may have been looking for), would just be continued invasion. If you are interested in further conversation, then you may consider writing him a simple apology note, but know that he isn't obligated to welcome it ( ... )
