What are "manlets" supposed to "learn"?
post #1

I keep seeing this comment on youtube and on forums all over the internet. What are we supposed to learn exactly?

I get that Manlets are apparently men under 5'8?

Goes back to the Misc section of the Body Building forum which is maybe a decade ago at this point. Insecure lanky men above 6 feet would project their own body insecurities onto short men to make them feel better about themselves.

Manlets are supposed to "learn" that they must come to terms with being at the bottom of the totem pole, always last choice (or not an option) for women no matter how unattractive she is, last in line for jobs or job promotions and thankful for anyone that acknowledges them in anyway. 

In other words, resigned to second or third class status. Seen but not heard.

I've never heard anyone discuss "manlets" off of the internet, but online, the term is used in just about any discussion concerning short men, especially YouTube.

Short Accountant Mocked For His Height In New York Post Comments

Are any of you surprised by the comments? 

We had a whole 6ft3 guy recently threaten an airport with firearms and no one accused him of having a "syndrome"

I don't condone what the short guy did here, but you knew they were going to come after his height.
