It's over with my "friend"

[keepoffgrass]

Look the fight was NOT about the kilt, it was about her inability to control you.

Totally agreed. Better off without that one. Theres way to many chicks out there that dig the kilt.

I'll second (third, fifth, I lost count) that comment. When I told my S.O. I was going to wear a kilt because I wanted to get in touch with my Celtic heritage, she did look at me kind of funny at first but now she likes it. Of course, 26 years married may make a difference.

I have to agree that a kilt does test some relationships. If it survives, great. If it doesn't, try again. There are plenty of women out there that love a man in a kilt. Be yourself and be confident. A woman can sense that.

Just my $0.02 USD worth.

Please note that I would have put some water in my wine if I would have a more personal relationship with her.

My thoughts are, if she is not that personal a friend, Who does she think she is?

If she were your wife, or even a close girlfriend, MAYBE she could have a little say in how you dress.

But since you didn't have that kind of relationship with her, to me she seems like someone who simply wants to have her own way with EVERYTHING and anyone who doesn't agree is just wrong. You're better off without that type of person.

I agree (along with everyone else it seems) with the fact that she's trying to control you.

Bottom line... SHE has issues with her OWN self confidence. So much so, in fact, that she worries about what people will think of HER when she's with OTHERS. I suspect that this isn't her ONLY "issue" to deal with, so you're probably better nipping this one in the bud.

Also... I think that wearing a kilt (or on broader terms, going against the mainstream social grain in some respectful way) IS a test of friends' character. If the person REALLY cares for YOU as an individual, they will accept your decision to wear the kilt. They may not be HAPPY with it, but they'll at least accept it. If they really cry, whine and moan about it and refuse to go out in public, it's indicitive of a larger issue within either the friendship or the other individual.

Think of it as a "good way to weed out the people I WOULDN'T want to be friends with ANYWAY". Who needs people that are only going to be negative aspects in your life? Life is too short to live an unhappy existence.

sorry to hear that!

hopefully all will workout for the better!

did you ever direct her here?

maybe i should say that i was sorry that she had the issues with the kilt

[Blu (Ontario)]

.... I decided to end the social relation I had with my female "friend" and kilt wearing is the reason...

Better that than carrying on with your tail between your legs.

... I decided to go there kilted with a white shirt and a tie. She was very angry and told me that I will shame her if I do that and will upset other spectators...

So this is really all about her...

... Please note that I would have put some water in my wine if I would have a more personal relationship with her.

I don't know.... I think that attitude of hers may portend trouble down the road. Is she worth the investment?

It is never easy to end a relationship. Just keep being yourself someone special will notice.

BTW I just gave a big hug and a kiss to my wife because she likes me in my kilts and out of them too.

[Tim Walker]

I suspect that if you gave in she would have deemed you to be a wimp and lost interest in you.

BTW, I'm beginning to think of the kilt as a test of a woman's character. If you are single find out how she reacts when you are kilted.

[Macman]

I agree with all the above. You've got my support too, Pierre. Wear it how and where you want.

[MacTavishOfJapan]

Add me to the list of supporters Pierre. You should do what you want and like doing. It's her loss.
