new mannerisms required by kilt?

[TechBear]

So....I was looking at another thread and someone mentioned when sitting you are supposed to take both hands and do a "butt sweep" to keep your pleats from getting wrinkled. Oh my goodness! I thought that was a "female" action and while I never knew why they did it I somehow thought men would never do it. If I ever wore a kilt I thought that would be a no-no.

It is not just a matter of keeping the pleats from getting wrinkled; it also keeps the kilt from bunching up in revealing ways when you sit. Trust me on this. :rolleyes:

What other mannerisms do male kilt wearers exhibit that many of us would associate with women? For instance, do you always sit with your legs together or crossed in such a way that no one can see anything?

I wear Utilikilts, which have a heavier, narrower apron than a traditional kilt. When I sit with my legs apart, the apron comes down and keeps the mystery far more effectively (and far more comfortably) than sitting with my legs together.

It seems to me that you those of you who are "regimental" would be more concerned than women about showing all your secret regions....how in the world do you get in and out of cars, go up stairs, etc????

Practice, practice, practice!
