• Here, we have a 35-year-old guy who was set up by his Mom with a 43-year-old woman. Honestly, the involvement of the guy's mom is more eyebrow-raising than the eight-year difference between the two single people, especially since both parties are over 30. The guy's friends were constantly throwing shade about the age gap, to the point that he could sense there was something else going on, and indeed, he was right.

• We're thankful that this guy was able to identify that his friends really just had an ulterior motive the entire time, and that he maintained his agency in going on a date with this lady. On top of that, it sounds like it was worth it both in terms of how the date went and the future of his toxic friendship with these people.
