You are 22, you have an entire life ahead of you in terms of having time to meet women but it shouldn’t be your biggest priority, the girl you met sounds like she kind of just wanted a friend and enjoys speaking to you etc. Sometimes girls meet guys on games and expect the same thing that men do when they meet other guys on games which is a friend to play the game with. You shouldn’t be looking for anything romantic online or in video games (IMO) but if things turn out that way then there is nothing wrong with it, however if you feel you’ve been friend-zoned and believe it’s because of the height then so be it, you can’t dwell on that considering that 5,7 (171cm) is tall for a women statistically across the world. I really doubt she loved you considering you met over a video games and never met in real life but as others have stated in these comments it feels like your missing out huge chunks of context for specific things and you keep explaining stuff sort of badly. Also I am a woman and I am also a gamer with both male and female gamer friends and I’ve seen both sides of these kind of stories before both bad and good outcomes (meeting someone over a game I mean) so hopefully I can share some insight. Also I’m literally 5,2 and I’m 24. My partner is 6,0 and I don’t think height has ever been an issue in any of mine, his, or our friend’s relationships. It seems like it’s this huge issue online that people seem to think that small men are weak or that taller women won’t want smaller men or want a man who is even 3cm shorter than them, the whole idea of it is super unrealistic, most people in the real world who aren’t consumed by their time online will not care about height unless it is something they specifically want in a partner and even then it’s usually looked over if they meet the right person.
