Don't ever think of baldness as a shortcoming that has to be "offset" because it's not. Yes, there are women who don't like bald guys, but there's an equal or greater number who lust after them. Notice I said "bald" and not "balding." There are exceptions, of course, but balding is generally not a good look. You need to know when it's time to buzz it short and when it's time to shave it.
I don't claim to be a DJ or an expert on what women find attractive, but I can speak with confidence on this particular topic because I've lived it! I've had MUCH more action as a bald guy than I ever did when I had a gorgeous full head of hair.
