Its called "sour grapes".
"A Fox one day spied a beautiful bunch of ripe grapes hanging from a vine trained along the branches of a tree. The grapes seemed ready to burst with juice, and the Fox's mouth watered as he gazed longingly at them.
The bunch hung from a high branch, and the Fox had to jump for it. The first time he jumped he missed it by a long way. So he walked off a short distance and took a running leap at it, only to fall short once more. Again and again he tried, but in vain.
Now he sat down and looked at the grapes in disgust.
"What a fool I am," he said. "Here I am wearing myself out to get a bunch of sour grapes that are not worth gaping for."
And off he walked very, very scornfully."
There are many who pretend to despise and belittle that which is beyond their reach. - Aesop

Maybe he was seeing those things but was willing to overlook them to be able to go out with you. After being rejected, he had to compensate for his feelings by rejecting you with those reasons to make himself feel better but not realizing the irony of wanting to date you with the same problems until you rejected him.
Cause he's hurt. It's a jerk move. Don't take it seriously.

He thought you were fine until you said no. He's immature and was hurt and angry as if you had attacked him personally, so he attacked you. When this happens just walk away and congratulate yourself for your good judgment.
Some guys handle rejection much better than others. His reaction was immature and rude though. The comments he made were an attempt to hurt your feelings because you hurt his.
He used salt to disinfect his wounded pride, as recommended by doctors.
he is salty you rejected him duh lol
