This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.
If you don't cinch it up too tightly, it's no more constricting than buttoning the top button on the shirt. Not that wearing one makes any sense, but it's not trying to kill you, either.
Yeah, I rarely do the top button and rarely keep my tie tight. I've got it down to a science to where it looks right, but still loose, because I cannot stand stuff around my neck.
Fuck the Man, ditch the tie!
the only good thing about wearing a tie was the glorious fealing of pulling it down as you walked out the door at the end of the work day and unbuttoning that top collar button or two.
so THAT's the equivalent of me taking off my bra at the end of the day! Someone was asking this on Lemmy earlier.
lol. as I was writing the response I kinda wondered if women did that walking out the door. Was just asking my wife and she mentioned liking having the ones that open in front so she could free them up a bit when she got in the car. I have not had to wear ties in a long time and it has been awhile since she has worn real ones as she went jog to camesals now.
I usually wait until I get home, but I have undone it in the car before. And the bras that fasten in the front are superior in every way.
To me oftentimes is the belt on formal days I do tie it a bit tighter than normal and it bites into my dad bod.
Don't tie it so tight 🤷♂️
Decorative nooses have always been a weird thing IMO. Like "gee, id like a dangling piece of fabric that, if it gets caught on something, chokes me and may pull me face first into heavy machinery"
I never understood why anyone would want to wear a tie. It’s a capitalist noose and at the same time also so unnecessarily dangerous.
Back in the day, people generally had fewer shirts and they were typically the same color, usually white. A tie was developed as a way to have a bit of varying color for a suit without needing as much fabric.
Because I never truly need to wear one and I like the patterns and style of the ties I own? What kind of question is this?
People just like to accessorize. Not everything is that deep lol
I get your point, I use pocket squares to accessorize but to each their own. My mental association of ties revolves around IBM staff (and similar) being forced to wear ties for no reason other than “management decision”. For me the only thing I can think of when I see a tie is the leash of the wealthy class.
Well, you don't wear them around heavy machinery. Unless court and similar settings are heavy machinery in the figurative sense.
How tight are they tying them?!
Just keep the last top button unbuttoned, and hide it with the knot.
I never want to wear a tie, but it's not hard to keep it just loose enough where it's not outright uncomfortable.
What an idiotic article (and website in general, looks Buzzfeed-tier). From its linked source:
Negative cerebrovascular effects can be expected by compressing jugular veins and carotids
No shit.
by a necktie.
Nobody is wearing a tie that tightly, and even if it is deliberately made that tight when you put it on, it's not like a noose, it'll loosen on its own almost immediately as you start moving around. There are no springs in a tie maintaining the tension.
Shirt collars don't move the way necks do, so it really depends on posture and movement, I'd say my posture was about the best in my day when I was standing in front of a mirror putting the tie on and judging my appearance, and then 20 minutes later I'd be sitting at my desk hunched forward and it would be a lot less comfortable, so I could see it.
Also I remember from hours and hours of starting at old men's necks in church how their flesh would spill out the backs and sides of their collars while they sat there listening to the preacher.
Makes sense. Can't have blood flowing to the brain. That might result in independent thought, maybe even questioning management.
This makes the business world and politicians make sense.
Hevent worn a tie for any reason other than a funeral in the last 20 years. I refuse. If I show up to work in a T-shirt with no holes I'm dressed up.
Its funny being the only one at the senior staff meeting in an Iron Maiden T while everyone else is suit and tie. Good thing I'm good at what I do
Growing up in the Mormon Church, I remember a time some asshole just unilaterally decided to redo my tie in a harsh knot that was too tight. Didn't ask if it was okay, just went right ahead and decided my own safe, loose knot wasn't good enough or something.
Just having a complete flashback to that because of this article. Obsession over minute details is just laughably silly when it leads to health problems.
I hope now that you're grown up you have no need of hysterical frauds like religion?
Having grown up Mormon; this was obvious. I could always feel my brain being choked off but would get in trouble if the tie looked loose.
Mormon, brain choked off, 🤔
Do people not know how to buy a proper fitting shirt and not cinch a tie too tight?
Bro my neck cannot be contained
I'm partially joking but it is impossible to get a fitted shirt for me without basically getting it made from scratch
Remember all those bankers, lawyers, and managers wearing ties each and every day? Now you know why they act like they do.
BTW, the tie not only reduces the oxygen supply to the brain, it also increases the risk of strokes by about 10%.
Ties make no sense. It's literally a strip of cloth tied around your neck that serves no useful purpose at all. It's idiotic that they have managed to survive as a part of modern clothing.
What? It's a piece of fashion: it doesn't need a "purpose". You want to wear monocolor onesie jumpsuits everywhere?
If someone wants to wear one of their own choice, that's fine. It shouldn't be mandated. The issue I have is that wearing a strip of cloth around your neck somehow makes you a "professional" in the eyes of others, and not wearing one means you are being "unprofessional".
Look, if you are not wearing a giant arrow hung around you kneck that points at your dick, how are people going to know where you keep your dick?
They designate you as a "loyal dog of the company". They symbolize a leash
Every boy dressed in their Sunday best can verify that.
And now let's take a look at everyone at Wallstreet, it's all ties and red faces. Probably way more than 7,5% lol
Neckties belong in business, but not all business. I threw a big stink when I worked at Kohls. Women could wear polos, slacks, etc. Men had to wear dress shirts and ties, slacks or dress pants. It's retail, ties can get caught on a lot of shit (registers, conveyors, doors, etc). Took a year but the Regional manager finally saw the light and later it became corporate policy. Women also couldn't wear necklaces for the same reason.
Mkay.
Highly doubt this for some reason.
1 tentie is 75%
