Conversations with Strangers

[Thebes]

Around town far more people come up and talk to me when I am kilted. I haven't yet heard "the question" from a stranger, but several times a day people talk to me, comment on my kilt, flirt, etc. One older lady even grabbed my utilikilt at the hem, I swear I thought she was going to lift it right in front of my wife, but she just wanted to see what the fabric was like.

Almost everyone commenting on it are women. Its to the point I would definately suggest single men wear kilts to meet women.

I am not sure it is just the novelty of it though. The town where I shop, Taos, is a pretty strange and extroverted spot. I haven't seen the same sort of reaction to people with purple hair, facial tattoos, or hand-made buckskin hippie clothes.

I have found that you certainly can't be shy when wearing a kilt, because LOTS of folks want to talk with you.

I tell this to my single friends all the time. I let them know that unknown self esteem comes when you wear a kilt, and it's a great icebreaker for conversation. If 10 men are at a place, and they all look relatively the same, and then there's 1 guy in a kilt. Odds are that the 1 guy in a kilt is going to have much more attention than the other 10.
