I'm so lonely sometimes it's merely the interaction I get from a female cashier that brightens my day. I also like getting haircuts because I get touched by a foid. Though I'm extremely anti-social I still need some interaction here, and there. I empathize with the OP. I don't crave the sex as much as I would the company. Be it cordial conversation, or light touching.
When I was a teenager I went to an amusement park with my friends. I was kinda wigging out being terrified of the rides, and being in such a busy place. My friend had a cool cousin with a girlfriend. She held my hand to calm my nerves. It was the sweetest thing. I was astonished, and taken back by it. But it melted my heart in a way. It was warm.
I feel that if women were more compassionate, and did small gestures like this for lonely men it would benefit us a great deal.
I know Japan has rental sisters that try to coax hikikomori into going outside, and hanging out. If only there where a service for lonely men to get a rental date, or something. So we wouldn't feel like we are outcast excommunicated out of society.
