So without giving away personal details, my friend and fellow athlete J*** has a rotten social life with the opposite gender. This makes no sense. He's a great guy, he's nice, he's entirely acceptable-looking, he has a job and a couple of degrees in Engineering. He's an athlete and he's got a touch of the "dreamer" in him, he wants to build and market an electric car. He and a buddy have most of the prototype built in his buddy's garage.

I keep telling J***>..."dude, get your hiney into a kilt. Get a belt and sporran and some hose and you WILL meet women."

He's been nosing around the MacKinnons kilt booth at the last couple of Games, seems rather interested in one of the lasses but..

NO KILT.

I don't get it. Then again, if this lass can't convince him to get a decent kilt (something nicer than the sportkilt he throws in) the I dunno what more I can do!
