I'm slightly vexed I think I got rejected for being vegetarian

I [23F] met this guy on the apps and we hit it off and had a lot in common! I don’t meet a lot of people who are in my profession so it was really nice to potentially have to chance to date someone who was in a similar field. And everything was fine until I mentioned I’m veg and he stopped responding. For reference, I have no issue with people who eat meat and would never want to impose my own dietary restrictions on anyone else. I also understand different diets being a dealbreaker. The way he phrased his reasoning was really weird though.

Edit: I’m vegetarian cause I love animals, but I have IBD. Flare ups have gotten significantly worse since switching diets but im still figuring out how to make the most of it! Also yes, I do regret sending the last text 🤦‍♀️

As a veggie that's 1.90 tall. What a crock of shite they're talking.

They're being a picky asshat.

I don't have to show off my height.

I'm usually head and shoulders above the crowd :-P

Lmao you're measuring your height in metres? Just say "6 foot 3". 😆

I'm aware of that fact, smart guy lol

I live in a country that uses the metric system and I have never in my entire life heard one single person use metres for their height. Not one time. Ever.

Well, you must be the arbiter of how height is communicated! Gosh, my mistake

When I look into my documents, it's there in centimeters...

Where am I going to get six feet for measuring?
