Lol, I met my last girlfriend that way. I'm 6'2" and she was 4'11". I would often walk into the kitchen in the morning to find her climbing on my counters to reach stuff.
I'm a redhead and have dealt with some weird stuff professionally and while dating because of it. Until I got on Tinder I didn't realize there is a sizable number of women who are really into redheads, awesome! There's also a non-trivial amount that have openly said that they will never touch a redhead and are actively offended by us.
Professionally, or with new acquaintances, you get this odd situation where people feel they have the right to make certain jokes, even if they don't know you. We had a new group lead come in and speak in front of about 200 people, he used the term "red headed step child" in a pretty derogatory manner. A few people turned to look at me, and when he glanced over he doubled down on it, and then spent a few minutes explaining why I could still be useful to the company even without a soul. This was all piggybacked onto a speech about doing the best with what you've got. It was really, really strange, but he was managing from another office so I never really dealt with it again.
I'm not even offended by the jokes, but it never sat well with me that it was acceptable to insult people you don't even know like that, and expect them to just embrace it. I'd imagine it's the same with height and other traits as is being mentioned here.
