There is a school dance on Saturday, and I bought a tie. Problem is, no one in my family knows how to tie one. I Googled how, and I can't get it down. Can anyone help?
Return it and get a clip-on tie.
That's the first thing I thought of, but I can't find any clip-ons that I like.
******* Panic, I had the same exact problem. ONE of my friends can tie a tie and not a single person in my family (excluding my dead grandfathers) can. I just decided not to wear a tie to anything, I think it looks better.
I got it. It's really easy once you get it down. I was crossing the thick end over too low.
I searched "how to tie a tie" on Google and opened a random page. I followed the directions, and then I realized I was following them wrong. Like I said, the thicker part of the tie needs to be crossed over pretty close to your neck for it to work right.
lol. Panic, you are so cute. ^_^
Put it around your neck, making the shorter side laying shorter on your chest, about halfway compared to the thicker end. Then you make two loops around the shoter end with the thicker end of the tie, making it tight as you go along. After that you pull the think end up through the noose thingy and carefully adjust it properly as you... whatever. Then you put the thick end through the second loop that you made and this would be easier in video form than in explanation form. :(
It's alright Dexter, you pretty much explained it how they did on Google. I did it how you said. It's a pretty easy thing. A lot of people make it out to be a big deal, like I did before I learned how to do it.
"I tried to learn from watching Spongebob. How'd you figure it out?"
what can't that yellow d00d do? :P XD
Meftah, where do you get those things in your sig that say stuff like "XBOX OWNER"?
I like your sig better. Keeps me informed.
I have noticed that. I've been watching it closely ever since you put it in your sig. It's probably because they have not released many of them. Wii seems to be climbing at a decent pace.
The Wii has slowed a little bit actually. At one point it went up 140,000 in two days.
I bet you tied the simple little idiot knot that looks like this:
real men use these:
i dont see a difference
One is longer and more protruding than the other, the one on the bottom is tighter too.
Plus the upper one slants a bit to the side. But hey, we only do it to impress the ladies, and since NES Queen didn't notice the difference, it's all good. **** tying them the hard way, man.
Though I did have to do it all fancy for my brother's wedding. Those were seriously the coolest ties ever. I wish I could find a pic.
lol I've been tying ties since I was 12. =/ It took me like, a day to get it perfect. It's really not hard.
Haha, I've never been able to tie a tie. The few times anyone has tried to teach me they have given up after a few minutes of me not getting it, and I've never tried to learn myself. Never really had a need, as I know plenty of people who know how to do it for me. I guess I should learn eventually, though.
Even I can figure out a tie. That surprises me sometimes...
The proper one is a windsor knot. The other one, as far as I know, is either a half-windsor, a 'schoolboy', or both.
half windsors are good enough to get you a proper triangle shape without being overly complicated.
I mass win at ties. Only one in my immediate family that can tie one.
I love how people who can tie ties seem to think they're awesome. We had to do them for school, for chrissakes.
I'm so ****ing awesome and you know it.
Lol.
I'm using a 4 in hand knot or some crap.
noob knot
Not 1337 enough LoS.
I'm pretty sure I don't know a single person who can't tie a neck tie properly... But rather than just point out you're all noobs, I'll add that my dad has a newspaper clipping somewhere about some scientists who worked out the best knot for tying a tie *Tries to find it when he goes home for Christmas on Friday*
