They go to the same places other guys go to meet women: weekend hiking or other sports clubs, volunteer groups, yoga classes, grocery stores, the cool coffeeshop or teahouse in town, bookstores, book readings/signings, meet-up groups, etc. The only catch, like I tell anyone who asks how/where to meet women, is that you have to actually talk to the women you see. You have to be casually outgoing.

Understood. Kind of difficult when you are repeatedly rejected though. Also kind of difficult to approach women, when many women have openly admitted to wishing short men wouldn't approach them as it lowers their "stock" or whatever.

Just wear your white coat or scrubs wherever you go. Women will hit on you like crazy.

Hang around the women's petite clothing section of the higher end department stores

Actually, if you are confident there shouldn't be much of a problem. We love men who are assertive. I actually find men with a bit of a Napolean complex to come across as quite sexy.

It's pretty hard to lie about it.

I can usually tell a person's height within an inch. So they're 5'7"-5'8" or 5'11"-6'0" for instance. You can get away with lying by an inch maybe. If you are 5'2" to 5'3" and you say you are 5'5", people will be able to tell you are stretching.

There are shoes that will give you 3-4 inches on top of what a normal shoe will give you. But that would just look goofy.

And if a woman ever fell for it, if you got her in the bedroom, and you took your shoes off, she'd be like WTF?

Or you could just keep them on during sex.

That's why I never use lifts or high shoes.

What is your height? Looks for girls shorter then you.

Of course some men and women are going to care about height... I get rejected constantly for being 'too tall'.

It's a bummer, but not everybody is gonna like you, and even less people are going to be attracted to you. The more you deviate from social norms (ie, too short, too tall, too skinny, too fat etc) the less people are going to find you attractive. I've had to learn to not give a crap because I'm awesome and it's their loss if they want to reject me for something as silly as my height.
