    A kilted man is a confident man. Confidence is an attractive quality. Speaking for myself only, I, like a magpie, find shiny and/or colourful, patterned objects fascinating.

    As for women being forward with a man (kilted or otherwise), I don't agree with that type of behavior. Respectful admiration and perhaps a friendly comment of "Nice kilt" would probably be more welcome.

    Agreed here from my male perspective. Living in a college town I find the rather intoxicated question in slurred blurred speech and vision "Hey man is it true you dont wear anything under that" rather annoying. The subtle smile and "Nice Kilt" as a woman walks by or if Im standing in a line waiting for something are much more appreciated.

    Naomi is talking about the scientific evidence of what women are programed to be attracted to by Nature. How they behave as individuals is for sure something completely different....vive' la difference!

    I recall Naomi Wolf's attraction to "earth tones"....

    Are we sure it's not calculating the cost of the kilt, accessories, sporran, hose, and whatever else and thinking 'this man has excessive cash .... I find that attractive" ;-) .... sorry for be perhaps politically incorrect - maybe a new scientific study should be done.

    Speaking only for myself as a woman, because I am one, I can tell you why I find men in kilts to be attractive. Never having been one to blindly follow the social norms myself, I find it very attractive to see a man not only confident enough in his own masculinity to wear a kilt but also willing to stand outside the typical crowd.

    The average woman would have no clue the cost involved with kilts or their accouterments. It's the confidence of a man in a kilt that's sexy.

    I always figured it was because women really dug all the scars on my legs.

    I actually encountered this scenario. I'm a 3rd shift regular at a local diner, to which I always wear my kilts. For a few weeks, a hostess from one of the other shifts was working on third, and she approached me after a couple of weekends to tell me outright that she found me to be very attractive (which she later changed to extremely attractive). I found her to be very attractive too, but didn't really know much about her and was a little suspicious of her intentions, especially after trying to compliment me with such grandeur. I asked some of the other waitresses who work with her and as it turned out, she had a reputation of being promiscuous and going after guys with money. Seeing as how I dress very nicely when I go out in my kilts and the things I wear with them look expensive (and often are), I realized what she was really after, and it wasn't my personality either
