I have certainly not lost any friends through my kilt wearing, although some of my neighbours ignored me for a few months when I started wearing them full-time, seven and a half years ago. (I think they might still be a little concerned when they see kilted men getting out of their cars and coming to my house - but they say nothing! These are, of course, kilted friends who live in southern England or kilted internet brethren who are passing through the area. There's nothing untoward to be read into this, but I do wonder what the neighbours think!)
As for making friends as a result of my kilt wearing: I have not formed friendships with anyone I have met whilst wearing the kilt, but I have done so through the Internet and forums such as 'X Marks'. In fact, I will stick my neck out and state that my only true friends are guys I have met through this medium. Prior to my coming to the Internet, eight years ago, I had no close friends.
