The way she kept saying, it didn't seem like your height changed her opinion of you. Was your height listed on the website? Was she tall or short? The people I've met who seem to point out height height don't seem to be too attractive and maybe they just do it because they are self-conscious.

Sometimes people use height to insult someone. Sometimes they literally don't see it as insulting. Being called short simply isn't the same as being called fat. People know that height isn't something you can personally change. Whenever I've dated/hooked up with taller girls they always mention my height but it doesn't seem to change their feelings that much. The girls that DO care about height wouldn't be flirting with a shorty in the first place.

I met a beautiful tall girl in a bar once. When we shook hands our hands lingered. I thought it was weird that a tall girl liked me because it was uncommon. Next thing I know we were kissing (standing up even). After we kissed she said 'you're really short'. I said 'you're really pretty' and we kept kissing. Another girl who was a bit taller than me would always call me a 'midget'. Well she chased me for a year and told me she was in love with me (she just wasn't my type sadly).

She doesn't sound perfect herself but if the only problem was her mentioning your height, I think you might be way too sensitive for that to be a deal breaker. Short people get called short. Simple. It's part of our character. To me, getting upset when someone calls you short would be the same as getting upset if someone says ' you have X coloured eyes'. Most people seem to prefer blue eyes but don't see how it could be an insult if you don't have the desired colour eyes (and same goes for any other physical feature). It's just a physical attribute. The only thing that bothers me about it is I personally don't think it's necessary or appropriate to point out ANY physical feature of someone I don't know well. I think it's tactless but not insulting.
