Do we shoot ourselves in the foot?

I agree with Magnus too. I was not offended by the last encounter I just considered how silly she was behaving. Some would have been offended I am sure but I was not. I never have respomnded in kind when I get a negative comment. If I deliver anything pointed it comes with a bit of honey.

If you note James in the thread "I like your Skirt" in the General Kilt Talk" section. I reported that I recieved the "I like your Skirt" comment from a very nice and polite young lady and I was quite flattered by it because she clearly meant it as a compliment I really actually enjoyed hearing it from her because her intent was clearly complimentary.

I pretty much shared the whole conversation I had with the dumb blonde. My tone through out was kind and pleasant even in the "I am from my mother..." remark I made. She did not take it offensively either. but then she was still doing her silly dancing around so I am sure her head was full of air...

This encounter was not confrontational as far as I was concerened and to repeat I was not offended, I just thought she was being a poor salesman for the product she was pushing but if I wanted the moose I would have bought it anyway. I told my wife the gal is probably quite nice and the life of the party. She just should have realized it was not the time or place for her comments... and dancing

I don't mind "skirt" remarks if done in a friendly way, but, if done in a mean way, I just ignore the person. Usually that type of comment comes from someone who actually knows what a kilt is, and they are just trying to be a comedian for the benifit of their friends.

I have said this before, some people just don't know the correct name for it. or the "pouch thingy" we wear with it.
you see a greek guy in his "skirt" whats the correct name fot that?
see what I mean?

next time you go out, DON'T WEAR A KILT" but pretend you are.
do you hear the kids laughing as you walk past?
do you hear the "oh my god look at that"?
it's not all about you.
does the lady look at you and smile?
it's not about the kilt.
try it some time.
when in a kilt I do tent to be on the defensive,
when I hear the "nice skirt" I say thanks,
in passing,
but up close in a pub I mention "it's a kilt but thanx anyway"
I do try to be poilite, but may sometimes sound nasty.
even if someone sounds a bit rude,maybe they are awkward
when it comes to talking to the opposite sex,
or someone who is obviously as confident as you.
