    Interesting observation. We Americans have the largest "personal space" of any culture I have seen. The distance at which we speak to each other is considerably larger than other societies. Perhaps the perceived eccentricity of the kilt wearer breaks a person from the societal norms of what is an acceptable speaking distance...
    Or it could just be that a man in a kilt is irresistably sexy!

    I like the way you think, now that I think of it, all the people ever talking to me about it, while I wear it come unusually close.

    See!

    I'm gonna pay closer attention, gather some facts, instead of relying on memory.

    Some of my experience is with Navajo men. In their culture its common when meeting a stranger they want to talk with to first shake hands, then talk. So the hand shaking gets them in close.

    Of course Navajo custom is just to clasp hands, not actually shake them up and down. But the close in result is the same.

    This is gonna be a fun deal.
