Fucking Ties!

What's the point? All they do is sit pretty and look good around your stupid scrawny neck. Why are they so fucking hard to tie? Who the hell came up with their stupid tie tying theory? Can it get any more complicated?

I don't even think they look nice. They just look retarded. I can't comprehend why I have to have something hanging from my neck when I already have a sack of shit hanging from my crotch.

Are ties like a visual neck penis, just so people can know "Yes, I'm actually a guy. With a dick. Around my god damn neck. Deal with it."

I would rather not have something for the dickhead across the counter to grab so he can stick his slimy tongue of bullshit down my throat.

Google is great for tying ties, but I will personally see to it that one day all ties are destroyed. Except bow ties.

Well, off to work now with my crooked-ass tie. At least I dress like I deserve some sort of respect now.
 
Dude, I'd like to give you some advice, or at least respond.

But I have no fucking clue as to what you're really rambling on about.
 
I am gessing you have no idea how to tie a tie, and have eather been at it for more than 20 minuts, or got a bad rash from one. IMO, ties are to guys as high heels are to girls.

After you have tied a tie more than 50 times in an hour, you won't care anymore.

:thumbsup:
 
From Ask.com

The country of Croatia may just have given birth to the necktie. Sometime during the 1630s or 1640s, Croatian mercenaries involved in the Thirty Years' War visited King Louis XIV of France. The king was very impressed by the soldiers' traditional uniforms, which featured soft scarves tied around their necks. By 1650, Louis and his court were wearing Croatian neck scarves instead of the full lace ruffs that had previously been fashionable.

Many believe the word "cravat" (meaning a soft necktie) comes from the French interpretation of "Croate," short for "Croatian." But a few sources note that the word "cravat" was in use before the Thirty Years' War and referred to a strip of parchment or cloth.

Several sites suggest the Croatians weren't the first to wear neckties. One of the oldest examples of a necktie is found on the life-size terracotta soldiers buried with Chinese emperor Shih Huang Ti in 210 B.C. Each solider wears a carefully wrapped silk cloth around its neck. Other early neckties are depicted on a marble column erected by Roman emperor Trajan in 113 A.D. The column shows legionnaires wearing three versions of neckwear. However, these images are unique, and there is no evidence that either Chinese or Roman men commonly wore neckties.

It seems clear that King Louis XIV popularized the necktie. Exiled King Charles II of England brought the French cravat with him when he returned to his throne. Englishmen soon began sporting stylish neck scarves and tied them in as many as 100 different knots. In the early 1800s, English dandy George Bryan "Beau" Brummell epitomized high fashion and reportedly changed his crisp, white linen cravat three times a day.

Styles of cravats changed and evolved over the years. The bow tie developed in the 1840s, and from the 1860s to the 1880s, cravats became narrower like the necktie we know today. In the 1890s, the four-in-hand knot (named for its resemblance to the knot used by a coach driver to control the horses' reins) was introduced. This continues to be one of the most popular knots.

As for why men wear ties, this can only be explained as a whim of fashion. In King Louis XIV's day, men wore elaborate outfits of brocade and lace. As the centuries wore on, the necktie has become the only remnant of those times. Today's ties aren't quite so fancy, but they can still add a splash of color and style to men's dress.

I think it's funny that they make neckties especially for women as well - done in faux pearls or fake fur. Just another accessory that has, unfortunately, become a standard in the business world for men.
 
I'd agree with you shane. Tying a tie sucks ass, but if you get a Marine core instruction booklet it will give you a very very simple way to tie one.
 
Damn man, just disregard my first reply in here... I totally fucking got that mixed up in my head. Anyway, take Zoes' advice. The marine corp instruction booklet does have a good way to tie it, and it is rather simple.
 
I think ties are easy to tie, and I don't even have to wear them. Maybe it's all those years of being in theatre, I've had to tie so many ties for the people who didn't know how.

Lol, it figures that the marines would have an extremely simple explanation. I don't think they could understand anything else.
 
The reason you wear ties is because it makes you look professional and makes you look like you know what you are doing. Also they are for when you want to know whos a dike.
 
That's disgusting.

Maybe if you just quit your job working the Sprint kiosk at the mall you wouldn't have to worry about a tie.



The instructions would have to be simple in order for a Marine to follow them.
 
Only uncultured idiots don't know how to tie a tie. How goddamn difficult is it? If you are over 16 years of age, you have no excuse not to know how to knot a tie. Whether we like it or not, tie = class. Prom, interviews, funerals, weddings, etc etc etc. Get used to it, or become a stand up comedian.
 
You made that space where my heart should be shrink and disappear. :(

Ties suck ass, but they make you look better in front of people you are trying to impress. If it was up to me, the style would be the tie untied around your neck, with that fancy shirt unbuttoned, and untucked.
 
I work at a liquor store selling brain-killing alcohol to the biggest morons I've ever seen in my life. It makes me feel a lot better about myself, and I get paid too much money for way simple of a job. That's fine with me! :thumbsup:



The point of this thread is that ties are fucking retarded. If you would like to make a thread about how retarded I am, feel free to. I would gladly add to my retardedness by talking from first-hand experience.

How do ties look professional? WTF is professional, or formal, or polite? IMO ties look fucking stupid, they are totally pointless, they are fucking expensive, and they are idiotic by nature. Think about how many complete numskulls out there are covering up their defective minds and shit-licking personalities, just by wearing a tie.

Donald Trump may be rich, but I think I can speak for everyone when I say that he's an all-around douche bag. Then again, he looks like a douche bag too. There's not much a tie can do about that.

All in all, I like the idea of dressing nice for this job. I just happen to think that ties don't make you look any nicer. Ties are fucking retarded. That's all there is to it.
 
A tie shows your social status. Lets pick a scenario, a boss trying to hire someone for a business job and gets a first look at the way they are dressed for the interview. A rental tie from Moores would mean cheap guy who you should not hire because he doesn't care. A moderately fancy tie would mean someone trying but might not have enough money or doesn't care too much. A expensive tie would mean someone who you should hire because they care about what you think of them even if it makes the poor. But thats just first impressions.

Also as i said earlier, ties tell you if a girl is a lesbian if she wears one.
