Personality Change

[MacMullen]

I think secretly we all want attention, or we wouldn't all be wearing cilts.

I've noticed the same thing. I think the kilt brings out your self confidence, just like anything you do that challenges your courage. I'm much more bold about chatting up complete strangers or speaking up in situations where I would otherwise have stayed quiet before.

I don't think my kilt wearing is a desire for attention. I get plenty of that being as tall as I am. And Michael, the women love us tall guys whether we're wearing a kilt or a suit. ;-)

I think you nailed it there. Wearing a kilt in public means conciously choosing to do something that you know can and will be ridiculed by some people. It forces you to examine your own self-confidence and purge any weakness. Those that don't have a strong sense of self-confidence in the first place probably won't do it a first time, and definately won't try a second time.
