I think I pretty much butcher the fine look of a kilt when I strap it on my aging plump body. The side views are pretty horrible.
But, I don't kilt up for other folks. I kilt up for my own comfort and FREEDOM...it is sad that some men stay focused on what others "might" think instead of their own FREEDOM and comfort.
Some of the worst things I ever experienced never actually happened....
Presumed peer pressure is a nasty thing.
Hope you keep on talkin' it up through Cynthia...you're bound to find a few more men with the cajones to kilt up.

Yet I have never heard any man say 'oh I'm too skinny to wear a raincoat' - which, if worn belted over shorts for a summer shower, is more or less the same silhouette as a jacket and kilt.
I think that all shapes are improved by wearing a kilt.
The more substantial shapes are smoothed over, an athletic build is enhanced and a skinny outline is filled out, which is all good.

Heck yeah Ron, you tell'em buddy.
I stand 6'0" and weigh 215. My kilt is a size 36 (I wear a 33/34 pant) and I happen to think I look quite dapper, it really shows off my shoulder to waist ratio ie: the 'V', plus I just look COOL. (My old kilt was a 46, and while I was a grande sized dude, I still looked awesome in it) I think a lot of what women find attractive about kilted fellows is that we are all obviously more comfortable with ourselves than others. Moreso than that, it seems like guys who go kilted exude more self confidence and 'gusto' than others. Might just be the folks I hang out with, but it seems much more common among those of our persuasion than the usual denim wearing lot.
