I'm very impressed with the civility of this thread, something not usually noted on internet message boards.

Regarding the original post, your best bet is to take the compliment for what it is and assert your boundaries in a civil manner.

I've been in a seven year monogamous relationship. We both have kids from previous marriages, and I served in the army in Desert Storm. I don't think you can stereotype all gays or straight guys by their actions, fashion or anything else, except their tendency to be driven by testosterone.

Wearing a kilt at the pottery show in Athens this weekend, I got lots of compliments from ladies and girls, young friggin' girls, and I had a great time. I'm a shy guy, but I'm proud of my heritage and glad I finally got a kilt.

I'm especially glad that there is a kilt community here at xmarksthescot that stands together for the ground they share in common.
