There are shitloads of Arkansans here. I don't have anything to do with them but they are here.

You probably know a lot already. DO some cyberstalking.

Shouldn't be an obstacle. I'm 41. Some of my friends are in their 20s.

Talk to people.

I mean........really, it's that simple.

I realize that today, that's practically like asking a person to solve Calculus problems publicly, but..........well, that's how ya do it.

Are you single? Match.com is legit if you are a respectable person. Tinder is great if you're looking for trashy single moms.

Start with a pot legalization advocacy meetup group and go from there.

I'm sure you have other people that work where you are that are the same age maybe not for your company but in the same building or area

I live in Dallas along with a group of like 30 LSU grads around 25 years old. We always are out doing things. It's easy, but I can see how it can be intimidating. I hear there is a crawfish boil at Barley House tomorrow near SMU. If that is true, I'll be there wearing an LSU polo.

The meetups look weird. Join the LSU Alumni Association Dallas Chapter. They are throwing a crawfish boil April 22, but we are also doing a younger party that day for the Spring Game and boiling crawfish at Eastwood's Bar Uptown. Go there and you're sure to make friends.

ETA: Just realized you're an Arkansas guy. No worries. Still come to Eastwoods April 22
