I am bad at tying ties. I dont have to that often so I alway forget, and probably end up making up some kind of new way to tie them each time. I do have a habit of loosening a tie and hanging it up still tied, then next time i need to wear it, BAM ! already tied. how about you guys?

no, leaving them tied and loosening the knot screws up the knot anyways and makes them all wrinkled.

No, it takes like 20 seconds to tie a tie. Why would anyone be that lazy? :p Maybe the reason you suck at tying ties is because you don't tie them.

I have only 1 tie, I've wore it twice... ok, 3 times. Got no problem doing a tie though, rather simple.

Oh, I answered the poll as though you were referring to shoelaces as ties. I was wondering why, but now I know. I don't wear ties.

When I was in high school, this kid went three years without ever removing the not from his tie. When he graduated and tried to, he couldn't even begin to be able to take the knot apart.It had literally gotten to maybe 2/3 the size of a peach pit. It was incredible.

I retie every time now.

When I was serving an LDS mission, I did go for stretches where I would leave my ties tied because I would just be putting one back on in the morning.

Or you just like a little S&M...

Also, sorry about the spelling, my mind is gone and I only have to warm this seat for another hour.

I usually have to try 20-30 times to get it to look even remotely correct. Halfway into the ordeal, I often try to download another "how to tie a tie" manual in frustration. After 20-30 times, I get one that is acceptable. Then I keep it for at least 10 wears, since I hate going through that again. I suck at that task.

When I was in a frat one of the things that was expected of you is that you could tie a tie with your eyes closed. I praticed quite a lot out of fear and now I can't look in a mirror when I tie my ties, it just messes me all up.

I retie every time. If you leave them tied, you'll ruin them.

Part of being an adult man is knowing how to tie a tie, just like part of being an adult woman is knowing how to operate those little things that "fly through the night on wings."
