A valid question. Women (real women) seem to love them and will even flirt. Men, depending on their upbringing will wish they had the guts to wear one, want to be a part of your circle, give mean looks (but not say anything), say outloud "What is THAT?", "I don't know what to think.", or think you're a homosexual. Much of it depends on where you are and if the population has ever seen a man in a kilt before. I'm here in Texas, and Brother, we're tryin' to get "them people" to be more accepting, but it ain't easy. You have to have a thick skin to wear a kilt, but after awhile, you don't notice the looks or comments as really, who cares? Stay true to yourself and your comfort.
