Do people ever actually grow out of wanting to be looked after,

Like I know people get relationships and everything and sort of look after each other like that, but that's not an option to me and I don't think there are many alternatives.

>that's not an option to me
It is, you're just forcing yourself out of that option through self-loathing.

Anyways: No. There's a reason maternal instincts are so appealing in a woman for a man, and why protective instincts are so appealing in a man for a woman.
Everybody wants somebody to have their back. You never truly grow out of it. Even when you're 80 years old and your spouse is 6 feet under, you're going to wish they were there in case you fall and break something or to help you with every day activities.

The lone wolf may look cool, but he dies cold and alone never having enjoyed the warmth of love.

I'm too stupid to get a job in a city big enough to have enough dating options to find someone even vaguely compatible.

And even then, why would he settle for me?

Stop having self defeating thoughts and work on yourself as a person, you can learn to do a job well and you can make yourself appealing to men. Work out, get some fashion sense and you'd be surprised who comes along. Life and relationships aren't as hard as you make them out to be.

They're EXACTLY that hard when you're transgender, gay and can't handle sex in any fathomable, meaningful way.

What job can you do with zero education?
