Rigged, I see your logic and it makes good sense. However, I think threads like this are started because kilted men are not consciously choosing to stand out. Granted that choice is being made, but a lot of fellows don't make it a conscious choice.

Gentlemen, remember your reaction when you saw your first mini-skirt? Or string bikini? Did you stare, or at least make more than a passing glance? The lassies wearing them were simply dressed differently than what you were used to seeing.

Did you think you looked different, the first time you saw your kilted reflection in a mirror? In most locales, society is not used to seeing a man in a kilt. So the stares and looks come as part of the territory.
