Little Man Syndrome
A man who wears cowboy boots that have a little heel to them so that they feel bigger in stature. He also can't stick to just one woman and feels the need to control her and make sure she doesn't see anyone else but him. He lets his attitude and personality grow to the height he really wants to be. He has to prove to the world that he's "somebody", important and/or in control even though he's short or small in certain areas. They are often called "jerks", "arrogant", etc. because their personality is taller or much bigger than they are making their insecurity even more transparent.
