• Some pickup lines to use "at your own risk" (these are paraphrased by me and I feel like I forgot some): I'm peace and I want to be with you; I was reading the book of Numbers and realized yours isn't in there; [some well known historical guy] had many wives because he didn't meet you; Bible says to feed hungry and give drink to thirsty so how about I take you to Chipotle; [something about rosary...] you can be my joyful mysteries for 5 decades
  • Someone said Chipotle isn't good, then the friar ask for a different place, and I wish I came up with the response "my basement" quicker so I could say it 😔
• Some guys struggle with connecting with other guys, then they just be with girls, and their lack of male friendships led to something (emotional sharing or something like that) being excessive with girls
• Better connection with men allows better connection with women
• Men should talk to each other about personal struggles, including struggling with chastity
• We should be "intentional" in seeking these friendships (in other words, try to develop male friendships)
• Important reminder of the different levels of friendship (pleasure, utility, virtuous)
• Differences between men and women, not very relevant here
• Just like metal sharpens metal, men strengthen each other (from Bible if I recall correctly)
• "The sharper we are, the more dangerous we are" (not in a bad way)
• Deep friendships can be falsely seen as homosexuality, but they are actually completely good and non-sexual
  • He said that John leaning on Jesus's chest was not sexual

In retrospect, God definitely guided me to go to this talk. Naturally, it was more likely that I would go to another event instead or use the time to work on assignments.

It's possible that God broke* my laptop's motherboard to make me come to this talk. Maybe I will explain this in a post in a different community.

*very indirectly, but saying it this way is so funny
