This has been talked about at length for quite some time. In 1986, this very question was asked in the following journal article (screenshot above). You can find the entire September 1986 Challenge Journal article by Dennis D. Miller here.
There is an interlink between the two for sure, but one would be remiss to suggest that heightism is sexism. It's not. In the journal above, the author challenges readers by asserting that if it were sexism, then heightism should put shorter women at an even bigger disadvantage with no favoritism. This even then (almost forty years ago) was determined to not be the case.

All of this to just say she only dates tall men. She never "stopped" dating short men (or dated them at all). You can find the original Threads post here. |

Heightism in political cartoons.
Note how Mayor Johnson and the Hispanic immigrant in the cartoon are portrayed as much shorter (no coincidence that the mayor's facial features are hyper-exaggerated either). Heightism is inescapable in the greater society, but these social commentators purposefully use these tactics to convey a specific message. |
