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.
