I think manlets are about as disadvantaged compared to others of their own race as are ethnic minorities vs white people, or women vs men.

futurefieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelds

6ft and over 6 figures and super manly beard, come at me bruhs
 
i guess my 5'10 stature which suppodly makes me king of the manlets is to do with my success, that and the whole shapeshift/mind like a spaceship addition to the sitation, adds to the persuasion.
 
Deep voices are definitely a component of male sexual attractiveness. If you're a manlet with an effeminate voice and pale skin, you may as well be a Native-American transwoman in terms of your opportunities in life.
 
5'6", salary in the 1%er range (to the high side). Though in Silicon Valley with all the indians, chinese, and mexicans, it's a fairly average height.
 
I'm like 5'5" or so, and don't make 6 figures. I guess I'm a failure. 🙁 I did clear 80k last year though, I was surprised at that, so I'll call that a success. 😛 I'd have to go into management to make 100k, and that's not my cup of tea. They get paid that much so they can deal with the BS that I don't have to deal with.

Being small has it's advantages though. While all you giants complain about seat spacing in air planes or buses I can stretch my legs and get comfortable. 😀

Try living in Salinas (like I did for seven years). At 6' 5" I towered over all the Mexicans (75% of the population and a large number are extra short Mexican nationals). The combination of height and white got lots of stares when I'd go to the mall.

Latino average height is like 5'7, so you're near a foot taller than most of them lol.

Yeah I'm pretty spoiled I make like $32/hour, which is crazy, never imagined I'd make that much. I need to stop spending so much money though, I should have way more savings than what I currently have.

If someone offered me $32/hour I'd laugh them out of the conversation. =(

i would say spend away, you never know when you might lose the job or get tired down by an expensive wife/marriage/family and not have enough gadgets to populate your man cave
