    Wolf whistled while in a kilt

    I wore my kilt this weekend, and heard a wolf whistle directed my way while walking by a restaurant! This was a first for me, and I’m not sure if the whistler was male or female. Has this happened to anyone else?

    Years ago I was downtown standing on the corner waiting for the light to change when a couple of young ladies were in a car driving by. They yelled hoorays out the window while turning the corner. The next sound I heard was the sound of metal against metal. With thei excitement of joy they were expressing at seeing my kilt they were not watching what they were doing.

    A peculiar boost of ego, I imagine!

    It does make you understand what women have to put up with.

    I get compliments, questions, thumbs up, and picture taking whenever I wear the kilt. Depending on the event and place, I often get questions about my underclothes from women I don't know. None of this bothers me, as it is all presented in a friendly, smiling way. Walking anywhere in a kilt in Beijing can take time, since many passersby will ask you to pose for a picture with them. I always try to make the time, since it clearly brings them such pleasure and I see it as an opportunity to give them a good impression of foreigners. Most people in China have never met anyone from outside the country, although folks in Beijing do see plenty of tourists, businesspeople, and diplomats.

    We did have a thread a while ago about some members of the Rabble being harassed by self-appointed "kilt inspectors" who "take matters into their own hands" by lifting the kilt to reveal what's underneath to the public at large. Such behavior is certainly unacceptable, but I have not personally encountered this sort of rudeness.

    Enjoy the attention with a smile, as long as it doesn't involve unwanted physical harassment.
