The Bachelorette is an environment where women get to choose their pick of the litter by design, the seasons start with 30 or 40 contestants and the women pick one. It's interesting to see what women pick, now that there have been many seasons and thus we have a good sample size. As the male winners are usually around ~30, we would expect some ~30% of the winners to have visibly receding hairlines if baldness is irrelevant. More will have receding hairlines if baldness is considered sexy, and less if baldness is considered unsexy. Also note that if a bald man shows up among the contestants, he probably compensates in every other way, and he might even have a lot of confidence.
Also, if you subscribe to the Fredological worldview of romance, you will predict that the cases where subpar men "won" are specifically the cases less likely to succeed. Note that I wrote out this sentence prior to looking up the answer.
So this is the winner of season 1:
Tall, white, athletic, full-head. They got married and have two kids. Incidentally, he is a Nw2.5 or so now, but that's 13 years later.
Here is the winner of season 2:
Notice that he is only marginally taller than her, they broke up soon after the show ended. She has married a taller man.
Season 3,
She turned down both guys in spite of both being visible attractive.
Season 4:
This boyish-looking guy won. She dumped him and went with a more masculine man afterwards.
Season 5:
Very good-looking man won, but apparently he's an a**h**. She went with a more boyish man. He got married to a more traditionally beautiful woman, a blonde with great legs.
Season 6:
Wow, an ethnic guy won. They broke up around a year later and now she is married to a white man.
Season 7:
They're still together.
Season 8:
He won, he is boyish looking and only marginally taller than her. They broke up within a few months. She is now with a taller, more masculine man.
Season 9:
A 10/10 man, they married and are still together and are writing poetry books together.
Season 10:
They broke up soon after.
Season 11:
A 10/10 male won, they're still together.
****************
Conclusion: No bald man has ever won on the Bachelorette. The shortest men who won were marginally taller than their partners, and the relationships didn't last. Only one ethnic man won, and the relationship didn't last, and since he was Hispanic he is barely ethnic as opposed to Asian or Black. 10/10 men did very well in not just winning but having lasting relationships.
Being gifted doesn't yield a guarantee of winning, it just means getting a good chance.
Being bald appears to be a guarantee of not winning.
