    4) As people carrying babies often seem approachable and amiable, we feel the same should hold true for said kilt wearer.

    We can not help this. It is in our biological makeup.
    Recently a lady friend of mine confessed that kilts are like magnets to women... and suggested that I probably borrow my mates' infant from them to get the same effect when not kilted, lol.

    Hrm... guy in a kilt PLUS a wee bairn... how does that stack?

    I can say guy in a kilt PLUS a wee bairn in a kilt works well....



    I borrowed that kid from his mom for a few moments just to take the photo, (My wife and I deal with children the way most people do with rattlesnakes) And even at a celtic fest with plenty of guys in kilts around, I got extra female attention because of my brief proximity to the kid.

    When I was in the service, before I got married, I used to take one of my kilts on every detachment I went on.
    Most of these were overseas trips.
    One of the best to my mind was a det to Belgium, and one weekend we went to Antwerp.
    I was the only one in a kilt, and I was on the receiving end of a constant battery of negative comments from my colleagues (it was the military, so it didn't bother me in the slightest)
    We were in an Irish bar at one point, they are all in a circle drinking.
    I, on the other hand, am surrounded by a hen night from Cork.
    Around 12 women, all of whom bear a striking resemblance to the girls from the Corrs.
    While I spent the night getting drinks bought for me by beautiful women, (and ended up going back to the bridesmaids hotel to discuss what was worn under the kilt), they spent the night crying into their Guinness.

    I was at a local restaurant once and this poor chap really did not know how to take a guy in a Kilt. He started to tell me no woman in their right mind would hang out with a Kilted guy. As if this was planned in walked a young good looking woman who came in and gave me nothing but praises as to the Kilt. Not only did she sang those praises but many other women who also walked in and followed suit. The poor chap was just speechless.

    The Kilt speaks for itself.

    I saw a video of a speach where the speaker, having done hundreds of hours of research, found that 97% of women love a man in a kilt.

    You people realize you're forcing me to buy a kilt now, don't you?

    As opposed to later, after I dump a truckload of weight?

    So, go for the Stillwater for now, just wait to get the 8yd tank until AFTER you "dump a truckload of weight"

    By all means, yes. The Economy model won't set you back much, and when you "de-grow" it (sorry for making up a term, it seemed necessary), you can get something more permanent.

    Actually, I had one from USA Kilts in mind. They do the larger sizes. And their Casual and even Semi-Traditional are not terribly expensive.
