Do you think short Olympic weightlifters get rejected for being short?

[MatureDJ]

I've been watching the weightlifting competition at the Rio Olympics, where at the lowest weight classes, the competitors are all short Asian men - yes, definitely in extraordinary physical condition that most should consider "he-man", but still short & compact, as in no more than 160 cm tall and under 60 kg (the weight class is 56 kg, but they typically drop 4 kg in dehydration when competing). As weightlifting is my old sport (i.e., as an American-style powerlifter, not Olympic style), this is my favorite summer sport to watch (along with women's rhythmic gymnastics ), and being at 165 cm and also strongly V-shouldered (although without the ultra-super leanness ), I wonder if these men also get rejected a lot by hypergamous heightist women, even though they have the cachet of being at the highest level of sport competition, albeit one that is a bit obscure.

At 5'8, I've never really had my height be an issue with banging chicks. And this goes for women that are slightly taller in some instances too (5'10, 5'11 or so.)

Being tall definitely helps with nailing chicks, but I don't think it's as big of a deal as people make it out to be.

I don't think it has made any difference for me either...although online I was 5'10"...
This typically matters more the less they know you...once they get to know you this is nearly irrelevant if they are attracted to you.

Nope.

I see short guys with some of the hottest women around. Women do not care about height.

Being 6'1 has never helped me in game. In some ways it has hurt my game, because I'm tall and skinny. It would require me eating about 8,000 calories per day to increase my muscle mass which I don't have time to do.

I would do anything to be 5'8 and buff.

It's not. There are plenty of dominate short men and beta tall men. Short men don't have the gift of stature, so we often have to make it up through other forms of intellect and dominance.

you dont need to eat that much, you can gain muscle just fine eating normally as long as you work out consistently.

That describes me quite well...

I imagine the Olympic weight lifters are too busy striving and focused to be the best they can possibly be in their field to care whether a girl will reject him for being too short.
