That's my point, people care too much about what others think of them and at the same time care an incredible amount about the personal lives of others.
My mom for instance went the extra mile for her relatives and they basically returned the favour with shit on a platter, so she distanced herself from most of them.
As soon as she started not giving a damn her life became better, now she basically only cares about herself and her sons.
And as long as I'm not living some sort of criminal life, she's fine with it.

So if I brought that 20 y/o girl to meet my mom, she wouldn't be snide about it; why? Because it doesn't affect her, regardless if we share the same beliefs or not.
And my friends are all people that accept me as I am, because I chose to surround myself with those people; what good would it do me to surround myself with people with whom I can't even be myself?
So yeah they wouldn't care either.

And co-workers, bosses are just that: colleagues; just because you share a work place or class room with someone doesn't automatically make them privy to your personal life and is thus basically none of their business.
So why, especially in an enviroment where business is seperated from pleasure, should I care at all about some guy's opinion on my life?
Heck my "boss" at my freelance gig is 10 years older than his girlfriend; he's happy, she's happy, we are happy for them.

edit:
Ani I never realised you were such a spineless low esteem POS, aside from ofcourse the insane and morally skewed idiot you readily proved to be.
