I don't know who needs to hear this, but being a manlet is peak performance in any real world situation.

Outside of being a literal midget, being in the functional manlet range (5'8" to 6'3") is what makes the perfect army to conquer nations. Armies that can cover long distances without joint problems, and they have efficient caloric requirements, and can withstand siegues longer, or climb and storm castles with easy... where a lanklet would slip and fall half way climbing the wall, because he's too heavy and honestly gay as well.

Granted, being big is great for ego combats. 1 vs 1... no blades, no guns. It's an advantage only exploitable in times of peace and among peaceful people. It's only useful.... when you don't need it.

If we lived in dangerous times, any skinny meth addict can stab a giant 7 times in the kidney before ge even has time to react, and look down to see where the poking is coming from.
