Some people have such problems with learning how to tie a tie, but it's an essential part of life. The question is, can you tie one?

yes, but I can never get the knot to look as good as most men seem to be able to get it.

not in a manner that would be useful in formal life. My hands always seem to end up tying a noose :o.

Yes. My granddad taught me how to tie them sometime before he passed away. Thus, every time I put on a tie I think of him. He was an awesome guy. :)

No. The only time I'll wear one is if I'm going to a wedding or funeral. It just so happens that those are rare occurrences, so I haven't had much of a chance to learn.

Yep. It's one of those random things my father taught me that I actually have found useful ten years later.

Yes. I know four ways to tie a tie. I figured out my first one when I was around eight, because I wore a little suit to church and wanted to wear a real tie like my dad.

My father taught me when I was a kid. Then several months ago I learned another way of tieing it by watching a video on youtube.

To be honest no. I remember my dad showing me how to, and I've forgotten how. I have a tie in my closet, done and I simply readjust it to put it back on again.

I cannot, and any time I've had a tie on, it was tied by someone else.

Two Thais who tied ties decided to see which Thai could tie a tie the fastest. So, the two Thais tied their ties as fast as ties could be tied, but at the end of the tie tying race, both Thais were disappointed; it was a tie.

I agree. The real measure of a man in determined by putting a make-shift noose around your neck. Joking. My mom always said the dame thing to me. That was before the...accident.

Yea I finally got it right from some help and trial & error. Once you learn to do it, it is not really that hard.

Thanks to wearing a tie to school for about 11 years, I'm fairly able to tie a tie.
