While I underatand this, i don't buy into it.

Look, I go years sometimes with no physical touch from others. Not even platonic, but I don't make that everyone else's problem. The problem is men see *all* touch as sexual, and that makes them predatory and lonely from masculine friendships.

If they aren't getting touched I'd say it's a good indicator that people see them as untrustworthy. Now why might that be..? 🤔 Either they put no effort into getting know anybody or perhaps because they get weirdly sexual about it themselves. Why would anybody owe any stranger physical touch? You get to know someone closer, let them know you aren't a threat and I can't see why you wouldn't get a friendly hug or a pat on the back. Maybe only if you make something much more out of it than it really is and make it painfully awkward and embarrassing for both sides and reveal yourself as untrustworthy.
