First post, first question

Don’t listen to these knuckleheads! Let your friends make the decision for you. After all isn’t peer pressure the guiding light for our lives. Had you not said that you were an Ag Major, I would have thought you were going Political Science. Don’t make a move until you poll the public.

I’m sorry; I just couldn’t resist making light of the situation. The important thing is to not stress over this - relax. There is some great advice here and in other areas of the forum. As you can see from the earlier posts, self confidence is primary ingredient. I agree with JimB and others – take your kilt out on a few test runs and get comfortable with your new freedom. Sure, initially there will be a lot of static about the kilt from some but after a while it will become a non-issue. I doubt that you will lose any true friends over and an article of clothing.

I am no spring chicken myself but I get a lot of very positive compliments from guys in their late teens to early 20’s. Usually of the bent of “Dude – awesome kilt!” As for the ladies, the comments range from complementary to curious; “beautiful kilt – reminds me of home – great legs – are you dressed as a true Scot (this from a young lady with her husband in a crowded market).” Best of luck and welcome to the forum.

P.S. Why don't some of you younger members chime in?
