What interactions would ideally be most meaningful to you?
Can you find in yourself desires that transcend the biological procreation drive that provide acceptance, enjoyment or enthusiasm to you?
I feel the emptiness you are talking about I believe. If the true motivation behind every interaction is sexual or even material, than every interaction seems superficial and manipulative.
But, if you find something that is truly meaningful to you and you can feel empowered with joy and love interacting with someone regarding this without knowing their gender than you'd be free of this emptiness, wouldn't you? When interacting with people you'll have to weed out all of the interactions that are superficial and manipulative to find the same passion in others that brings meaning and purpose to your life.
