Yeah, some sex workers are seasonal. They work regular jobs, and in the peak season, they'll fly to Vegas to prostitute themselves.

One such woman was an accountant and single mom...but was a prostitute on the side.

In a sense, there are some dating situations where women "prostitute" themselves, without ever actually being prostitutes. They tend to desire sugar daddies. I had a male married friend whose wife's sister may as well have been a prostitute, but technically wasn't was one. She was a mistress to this married man. But more of a sugar daddy seeker....which is not too far off from a prostitute, but instead, was more of a resource seeker than just straight up payment.

He bought her a car, pays for her apartment and bills and other "nice things" she likes to buy.

She's never been married, no kids, obviously not independent. Just lives off other men.

And because standards have been bought up....I really don't have any.
Here they are.
a. Must have been born as a woman.
b. Must not be obese
c. Must have goals and be a little ambitious

That's about it.

What do you mean by "attempts" at attracting women--Online/apps? Speed dating? Setups?

I haven't done speed dating, but everything else. I've done online dating, spent time at bars, gone to meetups, gone to churches, blind dates, etc.

I walk with a serious limp and usually have a cane (though I should use a walker), so it's just not something that the vast majority of people would want to deal with.

Are these activities things that you've done more than once, so that people get to know you a little? It's not unlike a conversation I had with a friend about how much harder it is to make friends as an adult--if you show up at the meetup or volunteer activity once and then never go back because you didn't immediately make a new BFF, you've missed the point and an opportunity.

I don't want to minimize your concern about your disability and its effects on dating, because it certainly can be a dealbreaker for some, but at the same time you don't need to mentally maximize its impact so that it's the only quality you have. I know several people with spina bifida, cerebral palsy, partial blindness, etc, and they are in relationships. The right person doesn't care about a limp.

It can be.... depends.. for many sex is just the act and intimacy is something else. I wouldn't assume or "tell" someone what sex is about.

There's a reason a lot of these men can't get laid.
Not true. There are safe working environments now and could be for everyone else.

I say this from personal experience not from preconceived notions, tv, or media.

Do you care if a plumber has goals and be ambitious?

As I said earlier, they are adult entertainers performing a business transaction no more no less. I think you are looking in the wrong places for the desires/needs you are implying. I'd keep on trying to working the dating pool or even change dating pools but keep trying. I certainly think that if you define yourself by your disability, it will show and that's not all that attractive.

Don't get me wrong, some things in my life are great. I went to a good college, go a MS, work as a Machine Learning Engineer, have a great salary, and compete in powerlifting. But physical disabilities are generally a kiss of death unless you are attractive or if you're in a wheel chair. Disabilities like CP, down syndrome, make it really hard when it comes to attracting women. I'm just at the point where I'd like to throw in the towel
So get a call girl. You don’t need to justify why.
