how other fashionable males view about kilts

[GlassMan]

I think we need a manifesto or something. Something that says, "We're not about fashion, we're not about whom we f***, we're not about what's popular this month. We're about setting our b***s free, 'cause we got 'em and we're not ashamed. If you don't like it, too damn bad."

Cool. I say we organize and call ourselves the International Army of Testicular Liberation!

I guess we would all be Privates. :grin:

I read a fair amount of the postings on that thread and, like many have noted here, was astonished at the homophobic, ill-informed and juvenile attitudes present. It begs the question: do they realize the prevailing perception US society has for males who are 'really into' fashion? Think Carson from "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy."

I find it hilarious that such macho lady-killin' studs are hanging out on style.com! Gosh, aren't they avant garde!

Just wait 'til GQ catches up with us and makes it "fashionable" for all men to wear kilts.

God I hope not.

I thought it was "cute" that one poster felt kilts were so ridiculous he wouldn't waste his time trashing us, then immediately posted to defend his wearing a silver ankle bracelet (mostly along the lines of "but it doesn't mean I'm gay"). I'll admit I've had a few chuckles perusing their posts and one or two of them *almost* prompted me to register for riposte purposes, but on the whole I felt such actions would be a waste of time. The ones who truly wanted to learn about kilts and XMarks would find their way here: the others would continue blithely along, secure in their own sense "fashion" and of self-imporatance.

Bryan...Question: if you insist on being at the forefront of Fashion, are you truly a trendsetter, or merely more consumed by the Concept of Style than your peers?...

LOL!

The rest of you already pretty much summed things up. They're uninformed, insecure, and not much fun to drink with. Who wants to be a boring, average, trouser-wearing guy anyways?

Yikes that forum is rife with ignorance! I do like what the former UtiliKilt employee said:

and when it comes right down to it most guys just don't have the balls to wear something they don't see 50 other guys wearing each day.

I think that such fora are NOT a good representation of the average person. Though there were some classic examples of typical male insecurity on display there. All the more reason for us here to go about our day kilted.

I kinda look at that forum like all the movie critics out there... If they like it, I like the opposite!!

to quote "fight club " again...
"is that what a MAN is supposed to look like? "


great movie!!

I have never been into fashion... fashion is just a way to get you to spend lots of $$ on $^!T you dont need to look like everyone else!

I get flack for wearing my kilt @ work ( I dont wear it AT work ...but I have come in wearing it when I wasnt working) and I just tell them ..." well when you get balls enough to step up and find out what its like to be a masculine man ..let me know! I'll be happy to help you see the light!


Scott .....now that I know that I'm a RETROsexual( always have been just didnt know the "catch phrase" for it) I will say so proudly! :grin:

[AckZel]

I think the title of this thread is wrong. "how other fashionable males view about kilts".

To remind you... They ain't wearing kilts! ;)

Maybe we should print T-shirts saying "Retrosexuals wear kilts" and maybe the description to the backside if we don't want to leave people wondering...
