Poll: How many males can tie neckties?

[Handle]

After reading a recent thread, I was wondering how many males here know how to tie neckties. So respond to the poll.

 

[Ulfwald]

 

[Windogg]

What knot?

4 in Hand?
Half Windsor?
Full Windsor?

Windogg

 

[Handle]

Any of them. There are tonnes of different knots and I didn't feel like listing them all.

 

[Blayze]

uh......whats a tie?

 

[Dee67]

I can, don't know the name of the knot and it's the only one I know - but it looks decent..

 

[seewhy]

Still need instructions....after all these years!!

 

[yakko]

I can.

 

[~zonker~]

Double Windsor is my preferred method. It eats up a lot of tie but just looks the best (to me)..

The others look like a lazy attempt to look sharp to me

for the uninformed....'how to tie a....

 

[shiner]

How can any male over the age of 12 not know how to tie a necktie?

 

[guyver01]

Geeze ~zonker~ those read worse than stereo instructions!

 

[ArkAoss]

i can, not a bowtie, i can also replace flooring, and redo the water pump on a mercury sable, can any of you pc guys, fix cars and houses? huh can ya?

 

[shiner]

Yes ArkAoss I can work on cars and do house repairs. As a matter of fact I just finished rebuilding a 1970 Chevelle to add to my collection.

 

[PCAddict]

I can tie a necktie. I went to Catholic school for 12 years.

 

[eyor]

lol, if ulfwald was less mature he would have changed the poll to something like, are you a breast man or a legs man?

weird thread hijackings going on here...

 

[Mountain]

big neck, gotta do half windsor.

 

[ArkAoss]

cool shinerburke.

 

[unclebud]

it just amazes how people treat you when you're dressed up. even the police leave me alone sometimes
oh yeah, if anybody wants to learn how to tie a tie(?) stein mart has an excellent brochure--in the men's suit section. it taught me (my father taught me also, but that's one of the lessons that never took) successfully
edit: i really don't like to shop while dressed up tho. people always mistake me for the store manager UGH

 

[Handle]

shinerburke: You'd be surprised. One of the reasons I ask is because in one of my university classes, we were doing a project on how to enable people to tie neckties more easily. In my group (and in many other groups) people did not know how to tie neckties (yes, they were men). And I was surprised. Very surprised. It all depends though on what experiences you've had. If you go to a lot of fancy dinners and give a lot of speeches or if you're an athlete then of course you'll know. If not, you might not have ever had to tie a necktie that your mom didn't tie for you.

 

[GreenBeret]

I can, but it looks butt ugly.

ArkAoss- I can indeed do stuff around the house. Like that pesky absence of a coffe table in the middle of our family room. That's fixed now, although we still need to grout the mosaic tile top. Looks pretty cool. The nice thing about building your own furniture is that you know it'll match the rest

 

[Dan]

I always use the four-in-hand knot myself. The Half-Windsor looks lop-sided and the Double-Windsor eats up way too much of the tie. And, as it is, I have to wear extra-long ties.

 

[woodie1]

I still do. Wear one about once a year.

 

[Muadib]

I can, but I don't know the styles of knots.

 

[Mr.IncrediblyBored]

Ditto that. I can tie a mean knot, but I sure as hell don't know what it's called.

 

[SSP]

Heh... I wear a tie everyday to school... so yes, I do know how to tie a Tie (lol ).
