I related in another thread about my experience with some friends at a Christmas party last week. While most of my friends were okay (& even excited) with me in a kilt, one male friend, originally from San Antonio, was visibly uncomfortable by being any where near me in a kilt (I made sure to stand near him often ).

He's a bit of a "good ol' boy", and though nothing was said, I got the impression he thinks its less than manly to wear the kilt. At one point, as I returned from the washroom, I heard him say something about my being gone "adjusting my dress". I just let it roll off my shoulders & didn't even acknowledge I heard him (he wasn't going to rain on my parade! ).

I'm sure he wonders about me now, despite about 10 years of knowing me & my wife! Whatever, he was in the minority with his feelings that night.

What I thought was really cool was that my 11 yr old daughter (Shannon) told me that his 12 yr old daughter asked Shannon why I was wearing a skirt, to which Shannon replied "its not a skirt, its a kilt!"
