My husband has been balding since I met him at age 18, 12 years ago. I always thought it made his face and in particular eyes/cheekbones stand out. That said, I know that he never appreciates my teasing... As a women who has worked in the most superficial of industries (fashion) I can tell you that you are only ever as confident or sexy as you feel. And the great thing about hackers is that these people generally care more about what you can do than your physicality. I think you should take the same "failure as a pathway to learning" approach to networking as you do to other challenges. Some people won't like you. Some people are superficial and boring. Count yourself lucky they will screen themselves out.:)
