How did YOU find Xmarks?

[Arlen]

I've been wondering this for a while and have diligently spent the last 2 months or so trying to find a thread about it, but no joy.

I found Xmarks randomly just over a year ago.
I had just started a diet and workout programme after getting the all clear from the doctor and had made a vow on my journal.
Whenever I bored people with talk of my workouts I would post a picture of a beautiful lady in a corset and a manly man in a kilt to make up for it.

One evening, quite late, I was trying to find pictures of men in kilts that were not a complete 'kilt don't' and I came across Xmarks.

I've been addicted ever since and my kilt kollection has steadily grown since I found other men wearing kilts at more than just weddings.


So what are your stories? How did you find Xmarks?

Hank invited me when he first started the forum.

Back in 2003 I was able to get connected to the internet. I wanted a kilt, so started reading up on them. I came across X Marks in early 2004, but never thought about joining up. In November of 2007 I was able to get someone to help me sign up, I had tried before, but there is the visual thing that you have to copy letters from to keep spammers out. And that's how it happened...

I should add that I forgot about and re-found X Marks several times on the way; as well as, struggled with whether kilts were right for me or not. Here I am though...

I did a lot of Googling to find a place to buy my first kilt (for my wedding.) Unfortunately, I didn't pick the best one. It was all so confusing (I'm sure everyone here remembers what that was like ) After I received the kilt, I fell in love with the idea of wearing a kilt in the modern world. "Who says I can't wear a kilt out to dinner and a movie. Or, who says I can't wear a kilt to go grocery shopping or go visit my nieces??" I did some keyword searching for men wearing kilts as modern clothing in everyday situations and landed myself here. I'm also a fan of forums in general. So, voila.

Xmarks was listed on a Kilt website link; but I can't remember which one.

Though I'd only worn a kilt once as a child in my whole life, I knew I was going to wear one for my wedding, and so the wife knew that too, and last year, in scotland, she bought me a 8 yard synthetic kilt very cheeply as the tourist season had just ended. I fell in love with it, its fantastic, and so I was on the internet looking for allthings kilt related, which brought up this website!

A lot like Crocker. Went hunting for kilts on the web and X was one of the returns. Now it is a daily addiction. Is there a recovery group?

I had always liked kilts and finally decided to take the plunge and was doing a bit of research and found Motorman4Life's Kiltday site. A short hop from one of his links and voila' the rest is history...

Cheers

I was interested in getting a kilt around Nov-Dec 2006. I stumbled on to Mr.Kilt's web page and followed a link from there. I suppose Al should get credit for sorta refering me. Does he get a free kilt now?
