The little fella you see at the gym who tries to draw attention away from his short stature by packing on excessive muscle mass (this generally has an effect opposite of that which was intended). Often waddles around like a muscly lil' meatball.
That manlet may only be 5'5", but I just saw him rep 250 lbs. eight times on the bench! Somebody's overcompensating.

a small man who has to use lines such as "Hi you are really beautiful and I would like to have sex with your ankles, can we do it please?" to get laid.

It has also been reported that manlets can die from eating a manwich. Their body cannot hand this amount of manly meat.
A man who is below 5'5" is a manlet. They even resemble a chode.
