I know this is one of sherdog's favorite words, and I guess it has a different meaning for everyone. For example if you're 6'2" you will consider anyone under 5'10" a manlet, but if you're like 5'7" then you will want to believe that a manlet is someone well below that mark, etc...

To me "manlet" is not about physical size, to me it's more about someone's complex and insecurity. For example Cloner is a perfect example of a manlet because he's kind of short but he obsesses about being taller than people... he's lean, but he walks around like he just won Mr Olympia, and so on.

Guys like Mendes, Garbrandt, Faber, etc.. probably all have the Napoleon complex, but they dont project their insecurity as obviously, so they're not manlets, just regular short guys who work out.

Just my 2 c.
 
There are regular manlets and those special ones like Conor
 
So you are coming out of the bottom drawer as a manlet?Good for you!
 
Would agree for the most part.

Manlet's are dudes with short-man syndrome, who act like ass-hats.

It's one of those words people use when they want to feel like they're somehow superior without actually accomplishing anything.

Mighty Mouse is way smaller than me but he'd kick my ass with ease. What business would I have calling him a manlet when he could easily humiliate me? It just doesn't make sense. If his size makes him so inferior to me, what does it say about me that he could still beat me up? That's the conflict a lot of meat heads have to deal with.
 
I'm 6' on the dot, but whatever it's the internet, I could tell you I'm 8' but it doesn't really matter, completely irrelevant here so you can believe I'm 4' if it makes you happy.


Lol anyone who claims to be 6'0" even on the internet is at best 5'9"

Manlet confirmed.
 
Calling MMA fighters manlets on the internet... yikes.

Who gives a shit? It's a stupid term used by insecure people to belittle their betters.
