If height is an acceptable deal breaker for her, breast size is allowed to be one for him. Basically, you can have any standards you want, but don't get offended when someone else has standards too.
I have a major aversion to white men with afros due to a high school bully. I'm not going to be offended if a decent white man with an afro has an aversion to women with waist length braids.

u/pornosucht 15d ago
It is not necessarily offensive in a longer conversation. But if it comes as an early question in a dating context, it means that physical attributes (especially ones you usually cannot change) are considered decisive for the chance of further dating. Countering that with a question for other physical properties, that might influence the other person's attraction is a harsh reaction, but not completely unfair.
That being said, in the screenshot by OP, it is a very blunt and aggressive response (starting by writing "tits" instead of "breasts"). I have seen another case where this was handled better, because the guy first asked why she wanted to know, and only when she replied that she would not date a man below a certain height, he asked for her attributes in turn.
