    Dad taught me before my first day of high school when I was 13 because it was part of my uniform and he wasn't about to tie it for me every morning. Took about 5 mins to learn if that. It did shock me though when I first got to college and saw so many dudes who didn't know how to tie a tie. *Smh at me having to tie a tie for a 22 year old senior about to graduate....? was sad but funny all at once

    I blame this on the acceptance of single motherhood and this is one of the results of ? not having a daddy, they don't know how to do simple ? , like tie a necktie. It's gotten to point now where ? in their forties, don't know how to do the ? . If you plan on going to some interviews, in college and plan on going to some networking functions, stay in-and-out of court, or just want to step your game up, take thirty minutes out of life and learn how to tie a neck tie.

    You have to be able to tie a tie as a man. I can't wear a tie for religious purposes though, because most if not all ties are made from/ contain silk. I never wear a tie, but any man should be able to tie one.
