Neckties are like the male version of women's corsets (looks, difference, natural)

[believe007]

"Meaning, they are a suffocating piece of fashion that is outdated."


I disagree totally.
I love, love, love corsets.....
I'm getting a few new ones, actually
I was born to wear those things.

Yes. He has made an effort to look his best for work.

Much like how I'd probably stand and act differently if I had some foreign object lodged in my fundament.

Don't wear one, no one is forcing you to wear one. Obviously you don't like them.

Yeah I hate suits & ties they feel very suffocating. It's terrible having to wear one down here in South Florida outside of December through February maybe lol.

I love being self employed & wearing whatever I like.

That's what I'm asking - you make it sound like it is both physically uncomfortable in addition to the fact that you (evidently) don't like the way some other people view people in ties as "better than".

If it's not improperly fit, a suit and tie should not cause you physical discomfort. Your emotional state is a whole different discussion.

It's both.

Even a properly-fitted collar is snug around the neck in comparison to an open collar. Adding a necktie just makes it worse. A properly-fitted suit coat feels confining compared to not wearing one at all.

Add to that the irritation of having to wear clothes that I don't want to wear at all plus the whole "better than" thing.

And as far as "no one is forcing you to wear one", do you really think that's the case? No pressure from mothers, wives, or bosses, ever?

I'm sure if it weren't for mothers, wives, and bosses, all men would just wear loincloths and sleep in cardboard boxes.

Thank God for mothers, wives, and bosses...they are the reason there is civilization.

Would that be you if you didn't have a mother, wife, or boss?


I didn't think so.


Me, neither.

Tie and heels. This is a good analogy because it comes down to sex appeal. A tie creates a visually appealing silhouette for men as heels do for women. Sex appeal is the only reason both genders suffer these things.
