That's the society we live in today. Cynical and fickle.

33yo man and 18yo woman can be just friends though, just as long as the man doesn't look like Chris. That's the issue. If Ash was 33 and he had exactly the same friendship with Ashleigh, everyone would be saying how lovely it is and what great friends are to each other.

Pretty spot on, people can't stand introverts on the whole. "He must have alterior motives!" "eww, creepy!"

One thing I find kinda amusing though and like the only major score on him is how one of his 'intro/outro clips' looks almost identical to this guy
