Neckties are like the male version of women's corsets (fashion, look, clothes)

When I go to Nordstrom's to purchase shoes I always have the salesman who is wearing the tie help me.

It is called "dressing for success". I used to teach my sons that concept. Somehow when you are wearing a suit and a tie you stand differently, act differently than when you have just a shirt on.
A girl I was talking to the other day, think guys look so sexy in a tie. I basically said, I don't care. Its like me as a guy, saying that women look sexy in some 19th century, Victorian fashion that made it difficult for them to move around.
Actually, it's more like a guy who refuses to wear a tie but likes seeing a woman in high heels.
I think there might be one actual necktie in my house, a leftover from a military uniform that I seldom wore.
there are a few Western bolo ties, but I seldom wear them.
there are NO "button down" shirts, and NO French Cuff shirts (requiring cuff links).
Let's face it, such things would look pretty stupid with jeans and boots, which is all I ever wear.
I don't own a suit. Not even a "sport jacket".
I am, quite simply, not "fashionable", and proud of it!

Not the most knowledgeable, most courteous, or generally most competent, but the one wearing a tie.
