Dating and Logic

From an online dating site that will remain nameless, this is the opening line of a lady's profile.

I am 5'6" and usually wear heels, so im looking for a man 5'10" or taller.

How does the 2nd part of that sentence follow from the first? A leap like that was enough to make me stop reading the profile for fear of having my computer disappear in a puff of logic. I don't mind if a woman says that she prefers that her male companion be several inches taller. I do mind that she assumes that it is the only logical choice to make.

Before anyone asks, I do meet her height requirements. This is not a matter of short man's syndrome in action.

Not moderated but I do delete spam and I would rather that people not act like assholes.
