Neckties are stupid.

[Philosoraptor]

I hate ties. they are just stupid, a brightly colored cloth, wrapped around the male neck and tied in a specific windsor knot, a different one for every day.

Hey, nice tie Todd! Thanks Dan, yours is nice too. Love the tie Mr. Davis!

A tie is a phallic symbol. a tie is a sign of being in a club. All respectable men wear ties. people sound more believable when they wear a nice tie.

What the hell is a necktie anyway?

Necktie hating in flyover land.

1. a neck tie gives women something to hang on to

when she wants to strangle a man who says something really stupid. It just levels the male/female playing field. :bounce:

[Bassic]

3. Levels? It just stops us from getting away when a woman

knees us in the.. well you get the picture. It's totally unfair!

[Katina]

6. Unfair?

I guess that's in the eye of the beholder...or is that the knee or the neck....now I'm confused!

[Bassic]

12. That's another ill effect of the necktie!

It creates confusion and slowness of the mind. Why do you think business men almost all become assholes at one point or another? :silly:

[Katina]

14. everyone knows the answer to that...

Why do you think business men almost all become assholes at one point or another?

genetics!! :rofl:

[Bassic]

15. Hehehe

:rofl:

[dorktv]

22. or to yank him closer for yelling or kissing purposes.

[Bassic]

2. The necktie is a tool of Satan.

I hate them so much.. :grr:

Good thing I don't often have to wear them.

[MissMillie]

4. I always thought of a tie as the way for men to

"individualize" their professional uniform. Everyone wears the black, gray or dark blue suit and a buttoned-down shirt. The tie is what makes you different from everyone else.

[Bunny]

11. Yeah, that's how I see them too.

A way to jazz up your boring, button-down wardrobe. I happen to think that ties enhance a man's appearance and are really quite hot. :loveya:

Of course, having to wear one would totally suck. But so does wearing panty hose and high heels. :(

[MissMillie]

19. I have worn men's ties before and have no problem wearing them

but then again, I don't think I wore it as tight as most men think they have to wear them.

Panty hose are nasty. Nylon doesn't breathe. I'll take a tie to nylon hose ANYDAY! (I'm betting most men would too.)

[Richardo]

29. Women in men's neckties - Yowza.

:loveya:

[Bunny]

30. Richardo, you magnificent bastard!

Do you have to wear a necktie, or is your workplace a little more casual? :hi:

[Richardo]

38. We're down to polo shirts for the guys (+ trousers)...

My former employer (railroad) required ties. At one point, the CEO even ordered that you put on your jacket (!) whenever you left your office, even if it was just to go down the hall. :eyes:

Railroads remain the high-tech of the nineteenth century.

:hi: Bunny! :pals:

[Bunny]

44. Whew - glad to see that you included trousers in your post.

I would have envisioned a bunch of guys walking around in polo shirts and their undies (or even going commando - :scared:)

Wow - putting your jacket on just to go to the restroom? That's damned impressive!

How's tricks, darlin'? I miss seeing you around!

[Richardo]

46. Likewise!

Thing going OK, even tho vacation over :(

How's by you?

[Bunny]

47. Eh, things are better. Work is slowing down, and

I have one more week of vacation to take this month! I'm trying to decide on taking the girls to the zoo, or going to Idlewild Park (we don't like Kennywood much). Decisions, decisions.

[MissMillie]

35. Isn't that something?

That a woman in a man's necktie can be sexy. Such attire doesn't even show any cleavage! LOL

I guess that just goes to show you: clothes are not sexy. Women who wear clothes are sexy!

[Karenca]

24. High heeled pointy toed shoes=torture.

:hurts:

[Fox Mulder]

5. I hate neckties.

They feel like a noose.

[Katina]

7. and your point?

:rofl:

[Fox Mulder]

8. My point?

I hate neckties.

[Katina]

10. I got that

it was the "noose" part that was making me laugh.

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

37. I get off on that feeling

:P I'm a sadist at heart :spank:

[underpants]

9. Someone who completely agrees with you here

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

13. Oh they can be pretty fun....

:evilgrin:

[ThomCat]

34. We're talking about Wearing them, not tying them to the bedpost.

:P

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

39. Well they usually start out on somebody, before the fun begins.

[Deep13]

16. They suck!

They have no purpose, cannot easily be cleaned and are easily stained. Plus having something tied around ones neck cannot be healthy.

[Philosoraptor]

17. Like those Brazilian stone age guys with big sticks on their weenies.

you know the ones I mean, all the men wear these weenie extenders about 3 feet long, stabalized by a rope around their neck.

A necktie is a phallic symbol stating, "see, see my brightly colored fully erect penis"?

how very male primatey.

[Rabrrrrrr]

18. I love ties. I love wearing them.

I love wearing suits, too.

But, that's just me, I suppose.

[Philosoraptor]

21. Oh, a tie lover eh?

I used to wear them, years ago, but my neck is so big and I could find no shirts to fit me, and tying the tie always choked me. Tried clip ons, but it was the shirts and the ties that bugged me.

Drifted into dickies and turtle necks, and finally gave up ties forever and have not looked back in regret.

Free Yourself from the oppressive necktie!

[liontamer]

20. they can be pretty hot if used correctly n/t

[GirlinContempt]

23. I used to wear a tie every day

*shrug*

[Richardo]

40. See #29

:)

[GirlinContempt]

48. Was part of my

girls school uniform :D

[Richardo]

50. .

[GirlinContempt]

51. Did you die?

:D

[Richardo]

53. That would explain the localized rigor mortis

[billyskank]

25. Why is everything vaguely long and thin always phallic?

Why does sex have to be brought into everything?

[Deep13]

26. I thought they were to cover the shirt buttons.

In the name of all that is descent and holy, cover thy shirt buttons!

[billyskank]

31. Although I would applaud the first guy to dare to wear to work

a tie truly shaped like a phallus.

[Deep13]

36. It ain't gonna be me.

[ThomCat]

41. While it is true that I have a collection ties,

I don't think I have one of those. I don't think I could get away with wearing one either.

But I'd applaud someone who could. :)

[B3Nut]

27. Weren't they originally a type of napkin?

way back centuries ago? Something to wipe food off your cakehole becoming a fashion accessory mandatory in Big Business...why does THAT not surprise me... :rofl:

I'm glad the IT people at my company can do jeans and golf shirts...my boss and I hate suits and ties.

28. A history of ties:

http://www.infoplease.com/spot/tie1.html

[LanternWaste]

32. one can take the tie off at the end of the day

I don't see it as any better or any worse than the thousands of other styles we choose to wear in an attempt to advertise ourselves. Heck, it's no different than a tattoo (other than one can take the tie off at the end of the day and laugh at the 'trendy' choice ten years later).

I truly enjoy wearing my Three Stooges tie whenver possible...

[Philosoraptor]

33. a stooge tie? well....that's different.

i can soitenly accept that.

[SteppingRazor]

42. No, no, no. BOWTIES are stupid...

neckties are classy.

[Katina]

43. except with a tuxedo

then bowties are hot.

[HughBeaumont]

45. Ecch. SO glad we're business casual all the time.

Those things suck. They give me headaches, they're stupid, they're a pain in the ass to tie every damned morning and they wear quickly.

[BigMama50]

49. I always figured

they pointed to the important junk.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

52. I've always liked bolo ties myself...

[One_Life_To_Give]

54. As opposed to ruffled shirt and ascot?

Ties give a nice "Finished" look to the outfit. Besides were already letting you get away with trousers in place of proper Britches and Stockings!:silly:

Seriously what you wear will have a significant impact on how people relate to you. The tie with or without suit coat / sport jacket, will change the way people relate to you. There are times when a suit and tie is exactly the thing to wear.
