This is what I think might be the biggest problem when it comes to girls and wrestling. It is a lose-lose for the guy even if the girl they wrestle is really good. I had a kid on my team almost quit after he lost to a girl, it took me like an hour of convincing him that she was really legit. Actually right now I she is ranked number 1 on the Olympic ladder for her weightclass at 63KG. So even though she is a girl is was pretty friggin legit.
I have always tried to convice the guys on my team that gender doesn't matter because at the end of the day they are in the same weight class. But still there is a ways to go with that.
