X-metal demographic question

40 here and never have seen anyone wearing any X-metal. Just got my first pair over Christmas and now have a 2nd pair and even my Vault here hasn't seen any of the X-metal wondering around.
I do get asked a lot especially when going to the Vault by other Oakley enthusiasts about them and I've always been open to letting them try them on if they are interested.

Funny, I was just at that Round Rock Vault yesterday. Normally I would have worn an x-metal, actually started with a pair of Juliets but instead switched to my Tincan Carbons (no shelf whores). I guess I should have stuck with the Juliets... But really, I've worn x-metals to that Vault and others plenty of times in the past and get acknowledgment of the pair less than 50% of the time. And with staff turnover it's usually fresh faces.
 
I’m 19. I’ve had a pair of Juliet’s and XS. Now I have a pair of R1’s. I haven’t seen anybody near my age wearing x-metal’s.
 
37 here in Nebraska. I got my first pair of R1's in 98 from my cousin for a graduation present, and wore then till about 2002 when I left them in my work truck over night and someone lifted them (which I am still pissed about). I replaced them with an A wire until I could afford another Romeo that eventually got warrantied for a 24k XX in 2004 ( mistake number 2) although the XX is my favorite frame now. Anyways, to shorten a long story since 98 I've seen two other people wearing xmetals, an R2 and a 24k XX.
 
44, still yet to see anyone out and about wearing an X Metal frame. I started wearing Frogs when I was 17, metals from mid to late 20's I think, started with an XX XM which I still own. My dailys are Titanium Crosshair 1 (Titanium polar), and an X Metal Juliet (bronze polar)
 
27 here in Hungary.Never seen wearing xmetal style at my age.Spotted 2 older fellas wearing juliet and xx in the wild so im not the only one who knows what is the good quality :)
None of my friends like the style neither of al my metals i had,everybody told me its kind of bycicle glasses....i always tried to explain the reason why they are so unique ,without any success...:)
