    What kind of a man wears a Kilt?

    What kind of man wears a kilt?
    This was posted on another site, http://skilt.co.uk I think it is worth repeating.
    The best description I have found for the new macho is by Boysen Hodgson published on the Mankind Project website. If you score 80% give yourself a pat on the back and consider rewarding yourself with a brand new Skilt!

    He cleans up after himself.
    He looks after the planet.
    He is a role model for young men.
    He is rigorously honest and fiercely optimistic.
    He holds himself accountable.
    He knows what he feels.
    He knows how to cry and he lets it go.
    He knows how to rage without hurting others.
    He knows how to fear and how to keep moving.
    He seeks self-mastery.
    He’s let go of childish shame.
    He feels guilty when he’s done something wrong.
    He is kind to men, kind to women, kind to children, kind to animals.

    He stopped letting his defenses ruin his relationships.
    He stopped letting his penis run his life.
    He has enough self respect to tell the truth.
    He creates intimacy and trust with his actions.
    He has men that he trusts and that he turns to for support.
    He knows how to roll with it.
    He knows how to make it happen.
    He is disciplined when he needs to be.
    He is flexible when he needs to be.
    He knows how to listen from the core of his being.
    He’s not afraid to get dirty.
    He’s ready to confront his own limitations.
    He has high expectations for himself and for those he connects with.
    He looks for ways to serve others.
    He knows he is an individual.

    He takes responsibility for himself and is also willing to be his brother’s
    keeper.
    He knows his higher purpose.
    He loves with fierceness.
    He laughs with abandon, because he gets the joke.’

    Sounds like a Scout to me ... but I'm biased. (I'm an Eagle Scout, and have met Scouts from around the world that meet most of those criteria. Very few wear the kilt.)

    Nice post.

    This is a great post! Though I could argue that this list would make you a man regardless of the kilt. The kilt is an added bonus!
