@...dieAntagonista: I do not. I also don’t know how to do any of the above. Clip-ons have served me well in the past and I’m sure will continue to serve me well in the future.

@...AgZed: She’s from England and makes videos on youtube. Never mind.
I don’t know how to do any of the above either. Being a girl has served me well, too. Haha
Not so, all except for the first one look better when done in a normal tie (the type you use with business suits), the first one I only use with ties that aren’t as wide.
I am not a big fan of ties. They remind me of leashes.
I did learn about these different kinds of knots the other day…. so it’s weird that there’s a post dedicated to it. Prior to this past Saturday, I didn’t know there were names for tie knots.
Bitches don’t take men who wear clip-ons seriously.
Fix’t.
Also, I think the whole point of ties was to hide a man’s shirt buttons. Why? Maybe in their early prototype stages, buttons used to come shooting off at high velocity, so ties were invented as a saftey device. Fucked if I know.
The original purpose of ties was to catch stains. And women can’t take a man seriously who can’t take himself seriously enough to make himself look good when it’s necessary. Clip-ons look like shit.
Clip-ons are shit. They are both metaphorically and literally shit. I use the four in hand whenever I have a performance, but the half Windsor is used otherwise.
Also, ties are fucking awesome. When a woman wears a tie, she is manly, when a small boy, girl or baby of either gender wears a tie, they are manly and when a man wears a tie, he is manlier. Though on men of some statures, the tie may have a debilitating effect to the manliness outcome. An example, a stereotypical nerd should not wear a tie. An opposing situation would be a lumberjack wearing a tie. Nothing manlier.
Hey I saw this on Paperlilies’ blog. You probably don’t know who she is.

I love how they all end up looking *exactly* the same.
It’s missing my favorite: The hangman’s noose.

What is the point of ties anyway? I can’t think of a more useless clothing accessory…
Except, maybe, the bow tie. But then, that’s a tie…

@...yawn:

I used to wear one for school. Windsor gives a nicer knobble.
I know how to do the Windsor and half Windsor. For me, these were the easiest to do facing the tie wearer (kiddies).
@...dieAntagonista: Youtube paperlilies? I’ve been watching her videos since the beginning. She has such a hot accent.
Never worn a tie.
@...Puulaahi: Really? Yes me too actually. Oh yeah I totally love her.
I use the half windsor when I have to. It’s just a noose around your neck waiting to be yanked.
I use a Shell Knot.
I did not know this until now.
Before I knew it as “The knot I use to tie my tye”.
Hey, “The knot I use to tie my tie” is the one I used, too. Until I found out it’s a Windsor. All other knots look to small.

The only man manlier than a mane with a tie is a man with a canoe.
Manly men doing manly things in a manly way w/ manly men…or a sheep.
