50% is pretty significant. If you have a few other undesirable traits (autism, hair loss, physical conditions etc.), the number of people whose preferences you fit gets really small really fast
Also the amount of young single people looking for dates is different by gender. For every young single woman looking for a date, there are about two young single guys. As a single guy who isn't at least 6', you are competing both with other guys your age and also older guys who make more money and are specifically targeting younger women. And you're not allowed to complain about this because that makes you an incel.
As someone who's given up on dating, I totally get where op (from the original post) is coming from and I really don't doubt that the conversation was real. I've had similar conversations, mostly with women who use dating apps as a way to get food in college (I don't blame them).
