My honest answer: you're very bored.
I wouldn't reject her on those grounds. I had a girlfriend who occasionally used to lose small patches of hair because of chronic fatigue syndrome. It bothered her, never me. I always thought she was completely gorgeous. If the lot had fallen out, so what, it still would have been her.
Totally totally off-topic but this strikes a serious nerve with me. CFS doesn't explain baldness. CFS is itself a disease with no proper explanation. Baldness, on the other hand, especially when not obviously some sort of normal genetic pattern baldness, has many, many causes, and should be a point of alarm and questioning, not acceptance, of a diagnosis that's worse than useless. It's worse than useless because it only serves to prevent further examination of the person's medical problems.
