What are some of your favorite non-sexual ways to connect with other gay men?

I've been thinking about the importance of building connections beyond just physical attraction and intimacy. As gay men, we often bond over shared experiences, but what are some non-sexual activities that have helped you forge deeper friendships or connections with other guys? Whether it's joining a sports league, attending art exhibits, or simply hanging out at coffee shops, I believe these moments can be just as meaningful. I'd love to hear your stories and suggestions on how to foster these connections. What activities have enriched your friendships in the gay community?
