I hear what you are saying, Derek. Now that I have been going kilted as much as possible in daily "normal" life, I have been disappointed at the utter lack of reaction that I get. I used to *brace* myself before stepping out--not out of fear per se, just had to set a resolve to not let any attention effect me negatively.

I've reached two conclusions to the lack of reaction: One like, Derek, I think that people do notice, and think "cool" and think/feel/react with nothing more. And I think that some people just don't notice. In the corner of their eye, they probably assume they saw baggy shorts or some such.

What few reactions I have had have been blatent staring out of innocent curiosity, or friendly compliments.
