It doesn't matter, though. If someone did watch sports for this reason, that person wouldn't be meeting any goals. All time spent watching sports would be far better spent actually practicing and trying to accomplish something.
What if the person knows that there is pretty much no chance of him becoming a good athlete? He knows that his effort put in will effectively be wasted.

What if the person knows that IRL finding and *capturing* the right person would be next to impossible? Maybe he is not good looking, or does not make a lot of money etc etc, thus putting him at a serious disadvantage to his competition?

This reminds me of a story. I've always wanted to have sex with a mermaid, but it's really, really difficult because mermaids don't exist. So one day me and my girlfriend at the time spent the entire day transforming a corner of my room into an underwater scene. We had sand (blanket), coral (aquarium decorations), the ocean (blue sheets) and the sun streaming through the water (foil on the ceiling and a blue light bulb).
We spent hours in the bathroom drawing intricate scales on her legs, but by the time it was all said and done, she and the room looked magnificent.
And then I couldn't get it up.
No matter how hard I tried, I just could not get an erection going to save my life. All that work all day long, and nothing. I'm not actually sure what the point of this story is anymore, all I know is that the next time I want to have sex with a mermaid, I'll just jerk off to a Luis Royo calendar.
The GF must have been pissed.

Amen to that.
People who sit down and give up on their goals or dreams because they "know" they're not good enough, don't deserve to accomplish them. You have to stand up and fight for what you want in this life, you have to be willing to put the effort in. Maybe you won't be any good, maybe you will, but one thing's for sure; If you don't try your best you'll never know.

I'm not good looking (by which I mean, in the traditional sense - beauty is in the eye of the beholder), and I don't make a lot of money either. I've had three dommes, and quite a few regular play partners.
Relationships are all about personality. If you can't find a domme because you act like a douchebag...well, stop acting like a douchebag.

Maybe some people may be uglier than you or make even less money.
Unrelated to money etc, where do you go about finding dommes and play partners?
There are few dommes and many many subs. A mismatch between demand and supply.

Local munches or fetish clubs are your best bet. Some parts of the world have a more open scene that others while some are more traditional and closed door. You just have to get out there and see for yourself really.
And yes there is a, mismatch as you say, between supply and demand. But hey, that's just life I'm afraid.
