Those obsessed with physical appearance may refer to short, muscular men as "manlets" (the addition of the diminutive "let" suffix indicates the small stature of the "man," like "booklet" and "piglet"). Specifically, manlets are typically 5' 7" or shorter and look like they hit the gym daily.
You are most likely to encounter the pejorative online or in person within the fitness and incel communities, where insecure men use the term to refer to themselves or others. For example, a person may post in an online forum, "manlets have no chance against tall men, and the talls are just getting taller every year." To "compensate" for their short stature, manlets often stay buff, which is why you will likely see them in fitness environments, such as a gym or weight room.
