Reaction to you Wearing a Kilt

[Tobus]

There is a lot of interesting, and conflicting, advice in this thread, so in the end you have to weigh it up and make the choice. My own feeling is that the kilt is a very conspicuous garment, and it might cause embarrassment if your date is not expecting it. I wouldn't wear it on a first date unless I was sure of my ground.

This is my take on it as well. Here in the USA, the kilt is most definitely not a commonly-seen garment in everyday situations. It can be, and usually is, seen as an eccentric choice. First dates are not the time and place to display personal eccentricity unless the other person knows it beforehand and is supportive. Even a woman who likes kilts, who would eventually be supportive, and who could become a lifelong partner, can be easily scared off by such a stunt.

I know, I know. This is a kilt forum. We all want the kilt to be accepted everywhere with no social ramifications. Sorry guys, but we need to be realistic. Context!
