I'm very sorry to hear that David. I'm not sure why this happens to some of us but not others. I have been told by friends and people I've just met that even before I began wearing kilts I always looked "approachable" so that might explain why girls (and some guys too) are more willing to express their open admiration and affection towards me than they might otherwise be.

Methinks that you need to change your way of thinking just as you needed to change your way of thinking about the kilt.
I am a very happily married man today and have been for the last 18 years and would never think of dishonoring my vows, however, that being said I will tell you that teasing the girls is not a sin.
If you choose to be stoic and avoid eye contact with your fellow human beings you're missing out on the very best part of life. I look upon the pretty little lasses as small bits of fluff for the amusement of men just as I would if I were admiring the other vistas of life like maybe the sights at the Grand Canyon or an exotic bird or even a Canary. Why overlook the beautiful things in life?

Great story, GlassMan!
I've been hit on by a couple lasses as a direct result of wearing the kilt. I find it amusing.

Happy Days G.M. and it's always good to know you've still got it. I must echo the sentiment that the kilt has never hurt my appeal to the lasses.It's the Sean Connery fans that dig it. Dang I wish that restaraunt was in queensland...

Like my wife has always told me: I'm married, not dead. She'll start worrying when I stop noticing the pretty young things. (I just do it discretely )

That's super GlassMan. I haven't actually been hit on like you have (I'm 59 and hobble along with a cane as well). But while hobbling, I had a pretty young girl (I would guess early to mid-20's) come up beside me, grabbing my upper arm and saying "I really love your kilt." Made me hobble a little faster for a while.

Kilted Knight, see that's the problem with these boards, no one can read inflection. What is very amusing to one participant is very offensive to another. So let me clarify.
I have no intention of hoping off with a young thing. Kim & I just celebrated 20 great years together.
But I am out in very diverse settings and I cannot ever remember the feeling that I was being hit on. Yet a casual reader of this board would believe that there is a magic spell wound into every kilt! So syaing it never happens to me is better than calling BS everytime I see a similar thread.
My attitude is fine.

Don't worry, I never questioned your post, I only meant to add a bit of levity. I meant it all in comradery and fun.

I don't know that I have been hit on but....even my 12 year old son told me that the kilt seems to be a real conversation starter! Maybe he will wear one someday.

My wife has exactly the same attitude. She thinks the reactions I get in my kilt are rather humourous.
