When is the best time to tell girls on dating apps that I'm 4'10"?

I get a ton of matches just using my pictures and not listing my height. I am conventionally pretty attractive.

I can chat up a girl no problem and keep the convo going. But up until now, I've always made an effort to bring up height in the convo so they aren't alarmed - it's not like I can hide it.

Without fail, the second I tell a girl that I'm 4'10", and that yes I'm being serious, the conversation quickly comes to a close or I get ghosted. This has happened over 20 times by now. No matter how good the convo was going, my height was a dealbreaker for every girl that I've chatted up so far.

I had many opportunities to schedule dates and could've went on a few, letting them meet/see me in person instead of telling them my height beforehand. I didn't do this because I was concerned about the shock factor when they saw me/"duping" girls, etc.

Is the move to suck it up, not tell them, and just go on these first dates - risking making the girl feel uncomfortable or feel like she was bamboozled? Or do I keep telling people first, let them ghost me, and keep searching for someone who doesn't care. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

Also, for reference. I'm a 26 year old, 4'10" white guy, athletic build, very healthy. I'm short because my parents are (Mom is 4'8") and I stopped growing earlier than expected.
