It took me 37 years but dammit I did it! I finally found a short and simple video and it’s amazing how many other videos there are out there that make it so damn complicated.

When I was a kid I taught myself how for horse shows. Prior to that my dad had to tie it loosely and I’d slip it over my head. I was so excited when I could do it myself

Like, a basic four in hand/schoolboy knot? It’s objectively easier than tying your shoes

Now tying a fricking bow tie, on the other hand… I have to look it up again every time I put on a tux…

I used to wear one daily for years. On the rare occasion that I wear one now, I usually still nail it on the first try.

I assume you have the Four In Hand down now it is time to move on to other knots and learning to match them with collar types:

Oriental
Kelvin
Windsor
Half Windsor
Prince Albert
Pratt
Balthus

Then you can go crazy with the next 4

Trinity

The feeling I get is a wish to go back in time and strangle with a tie the idiot who made it fashionable for a man to tie a useless scrap of colorful cloth around his neck.

I used to wear one daily and got pissed off every time I put it on.

Prime Owlie switcheroo formatted question.

And then changed to something like “How do you like to be tied up at the Adult Theater?”

What sort of male doesn’t know how to tie a tie until age 37?

I saved a video the other day that shows an easy way to tie a tie now I have to remember where I saved it.

I could tie a necktie when I was seven years old. Watched my Dad tie one every morning. I wanted to learn.


It doesn’t suprise me that some men never learn. The majority of men can’t even tie up a boat properly.

I learned from YouTube back when I had to wear them often. I just hang them up tied and haven't had to tie one in 10 years. Probably wore a suit 5 times since then.

I discovered masturbation at roughly the same age and I've got to say that tying a tie fell a little short.

Hopefully it’s a full Windsor. It pisses me off that I see so many ties in asymmetrical knots. What is wrong with those heathens?

I bet your knot looks like shite. Post a picture of the knot if you're so proud of it. I also want to see if the tip of the tie stops at the belt.

I haven't tied a tie in at least 12 years. Can't say that I could tie one on my own right now without watching something

Which knot?

There are a few different kinds people use these days I think.
