Kilts will never be as popular as pants.Why?There's simply not enough real men in the world!!! I truly hope that kilts will become accepted enough that their hardly noticed,but I don't see it happening any time soon.In the meantime us" normal" people will keep wearing our kilts and thinking outside the box.

1. Yes I would love to see more men in kilts, maybe they wouldn't be as grumpy and miserable as they go about their daily tasks.
2. No I wouldn't like to see more men in kilts. They to me express an individuality, a non-conformist attitude, one who thinks outside of the box. Individual thinkers wear kilts in the 21st century, and we all need more thinkers, but let me talk to a kilted gentleman instead of a very uncomfortable trousered gent.
My vote is for number 2

I love kilts, but there is a part of me that hopes that kilts are not widely adopted by men.
You'll probably get your wish.

wonder if that's a new training technique? I had the sales clerk say the exact same thing to me a few weeks ago in the electronics section of the Superstore.

It's my hope that kilts don't ever get "universally adopted" by women, and not by men. If that were to happen, we'd all be seen as wearing women's clothing. If Kilts were to become common daily wear for men, or even by both sexes, I see that as a good thing, because at the least they would be seen as Unisex clothing, somewhat like jeans have become. If women want to wear Kilts, I think that manufacturers should come out with felmale styled kilts which are easily differentiated from the Men's kilts, kind of like the differences between men's jeans and women's.

good thought, kilts are for real men, and I would like to see more men wear them, the more the merrier!!

I am actually of the "I hope they get widely accepted" camp. While my wearing of kilts in general started with Scottish heritage, I love the practacality of the modern kilt (UK, PK, FK etc.).
I have never been one that tries to stand out and just thumb my nose at the establishment in my choice of clothing. Frankly the fact that everytime I leave my house, I have to talk to someone about my kilt, is probably the only thing I don't like about wearing one.
While people I know will say that wearing kilts has made me more outgoing (out of necessity), I sometimes wish people would leave this poor introvert alone.
