I'm stuck there with you on that one. My fiancée finds the wearing of the kilt to be ridiculous. Not the kilt itself, mind you, just the wearing of it as clothing vs costume. St. Paddy's day, sure. Tartan day, sure. Just for kicks, no way. Even so far as to say it annoys and bothers her, because I'm not 100% Irish, we're not in Ireland, and even if we were the Irish don't even wear kilts. She likens it to if she were to wear a qipao everyday, be it in Texas or Taiwan -- it'd just look silly, strange, and possibly even pretentious. Of course, I think it'd be hot if she would wear qipao

My original reason for deciding to get a kilt was actually ren faire, on the requirement that I would only get one in my family tartan. Decided it'd be cool for St. Paddy's, as well, so while my tartan is being finished, I grabbed a SportKilt and decided I really wearing the kilt.

I like the way the garment looks, and particularly the way it looks on me. I liek that it's distinctive and identifies me as an individual instead of some guy in the crowd. It's pretty comfortable, though I am still getting used to the weight. And sitting in anything but a chair at normal height. I'm not particularly concerned about the flocking female factor, and haven't really experienced it anyway.
