OK I'm interested in the gang's take on this....

I had a little tiff with the lady again about kilt-wearing...this was, oh about six weeks ago. I told her that among aother reasons like comfort, plain ol' fun, and a what-the-hell attitude, , one of the reasons I wore a kilt was because it made me feel a little bit "special". You know how it is, you step out in a kilt and you know that you'll probably be the only person around who's wearing one. The ladies will look, a couple of them will flirt... the guys will either smile at you and say something nice or will walk by pretending not to notice, but if you look at their eyes (they haven't moved their heads) their eyes are following the sporran...

Yeah, says I to the Missus...wearing a kilt makes me feel a little bit different, a little bit "special". I think everybody should get to feel that way now and then, you know?

OK, apparently *someone*...wife won't tell me who, said " that's not a good reason for wearing a kilt. "Feeling special" should come from INSIDE a person, not from other people."

Anyway, the conversation went from there to what was "masucline" or not. I made the point that choosing what I wanted to wear and wearing it and damn the nay-sayers was a lot more masculine than wanting to wear a kilt and not doing it because I was afraid what other people would think....but I digress.

What do you all think about that "feeling special should come from inside" comment vis a vis kilt-wearing?
