Why Women Are Attracted To Men In Kilts

**Bill aka Mole** · 5th December 12, 05:30 AM

Having been in a Pacific sailor, the easiest way to describe Bishonen would be the type of man who cares about how he dresses in the morning, is aware of which colors look good on him and which do not, will take the time to get a manicure because he has determined that the women that he might be interested in like to see their man well groomed. "Dandy" might be a close term but don't think that this type of man is a sissy or easily scared by threat of violence. He is a man's man underneath the well polished exterior.

For some reason I always get the "pretty-boy" vibe from Tatsuya Nakadai (actor who plays the gunman-yakuza in Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo) though I suspect he didn't fit the bishonen description in Japanese eyes...

Nailed it. Only it's my mom that it irks.

That and I like bright colors.

In my short, recent experience as a recovered Scot who has returned to wearing the kilt when he pleases, and not just for special occasions, I have found that my men friends do a double take and don't know what face to wear, while the women are sincerely complimentary. I also found myself communicating with a bevy of friendly skateboarding kids. Perhaps the reason was that when I saw their group paralysis at my appearance in the park I handed out an A5 information flier entitled "The Kilt" which I had assembled to hand out helpfully to those who were socially flummoxed. This I produced from my sporran. I gave them all out and went home to make some more.

But to return to the main theme, it does take guts to stand out from the crowd. I do take risks, but I'm not so sure about the hormones!

Are you serious?

If so, a) that is totally awesome.
and b) is this something you might be willing to share with the rabble? (or at least in a PM/email)?

Yes, I am serious.
Yes, I am happy to give the link. It is found on our family news page of my website: http://www.fairservicenz.com/news.html at the bottom of the news and the photos of me (in the kikt) and my wife. As you will read, the flier is specific to me, what I believe and to New Zealand, but it shows what can be done. It is a great tool.

I am about to publish my autobiography too, and it deals withe the kilt wearing, and why.

But of course! Wouldn't expect it to be otherwise. But it does provide some really nice inspiration for what the rest of us could do in our own lives and situations, as appropriate.

Thank you for sharing that! And good luck with your autobiography!

I actually encountered this scenario. I'm a 3rd shift regular at a local diner, to which I always wear my kilts. For a few weeks, a hostess from one of the other shifts was working on third, and she approached me after a couple of weekends to tell me outright that she found me to be very attractive (which she later changed to extremely attractive). I found her to be very attractive too, but didn't really know much about her and was a little suspicious of her intentions, especially after trying to compliment me with such grandeur. I asked some of the other waitresses who work with her and as it turned out, she had a reputation of being promiscuous and going after guys with money. Seeing as how I dress very nicely when I go out in my kilts and the things I wear with them look expensive (and often are), I realized what she was really after, and it wasn't my personality either

Witnessing via your kilt pamphlet is brilliant.

Bumping this to say I'm wearing my kilt, my first. I was standing in the driveway when a neighbor drove past. She did a double take, slammed on the brakes, threw it in reverse, and had me step around to the driver's side so she could check me out. Said, "I like that in a man - confidence."
