The problem is you see a rare once in a blue moon pity relationship, and you go wow bravo these are super common and many perhaps most disabled have caring wives. But the reality is quite different, in many if not the vast majority of cases such are cared by direct family or institutions.

And not just handicapped but below average looking men will invoke a feeling of disgust and make women feel uncomfortable, upon approach, to the vast majority of women.

You put a disabled woman on a dating site and she'll get dozens if not hundreds of contacts. Put a disabled man online dating and not a single response.

Sometimes gold diggers go for below average looking men, but you often see those wealthy ugly men with their beautiful wives acting with disdain and disgust in public, let alone in private. Some do hide it better. And again there may be other reasons, and rare exceptions. But they are the exception not the rule.

I can point to you a lottery winner and tell you how, see, anyone can be rich. But that is just as valid as your example of the lucky cripple having frequent sex with a loving companion.

Even in cases were women are married to a loving caring man, many times the relation ends in divorce if the man ends up crippled or severely disfigured, even when there are kids involved.
