How come this girl took height to be such a big issue?

This happened quite a few months back. We live in different cities so we didn't get to meet up in the end. A girl that I met online was talking to me for quite a few months. She first started conversation and initiated contact every time, sometimes multiple times in one day. I thought she was alright(a bit needy), but I wasn't interested in anything relationship wise as I am already interested in someone else.

It was only a few months in and then she randomly asked me what height I am(I'm quite a short guy). She didn't tell me hers, but after that day, she stopped initiating contact with me. In a way, she was messaging too much so I felt it was kind of a good thing, but also it was quite disappointing as we were supposed to meet up and I could see her as a good friend.

She doesn't want to date you,you don't want to date her... Sounds like things worked out in the end or nah?

So you're saying it's bad advice to date someone who likes you as you are? What I said is that if she won't date you because you're short, then she isn't worth your time anyway. What about that is incorrect?

But I don't think that's correct, since using that logic, most girls "aren't worth anyone's time", which isn't true. Most girls wouldn't date a shorter guy - that isn't "wrong" as such, as people can't help what they are attracted to.

People don't date someone they aren't attracted to... I don't think there's anything wrong with that tbh. I mean, if you aren't attracted facially to someone, you wouldn't date them. So if a girl doesn't like a guy's height, that's a legitimate reason for them not to date.
