I would imagine it all depends on where you are in your romantic life. If you're 35 and happily married, I doubt you would fret way too much about balding.

Here's a survey across three age groups of women. Around a third of women across age groups feel neutral about bald men. The youngest women (18-24) are generally unattracted by bald men (47%), while among the oldest women (35-44), 44% find baldness at least slightly attractive. The middle age-group had intermediate preferences.
So yes, if you are younger, baldness could presumably hurt your dating life, while older men are probably significantly less affected.
