The rating of the 100 pictures thing misses a very subtle point... Most women aren't attracted to bald guys. But, a small fraction are. So, assume there is a bar with 100 women in it. 99 of them dislike bald guys (or are indifferent). But 1 of the chicks is absolutely crazy about bald guys. Now, if you're the only bald guy in the bar, you are almost guaranteed to score... the one nutty chick who lusts after bald guys will be all yours... no competition (as there aren't that many bald guys in your cohort.) The guys with hair, though? They will be competing with one another. The girls will be ranking them according to other factors besides hair... it's a confused stressful mess over there with the non-bald guys. But you? The second you walk in, the baldophilic chick makes a beeline for you. The morale: you don't need all people to think you're not unattractive. Instead, you just need one person to think you are extremely attractive. The latter is more likely if you have some odd defect.
