Are you a RETROSEXUAL?

[GtoRA2]

well it's the collar more then anything else, even when I was not chubby I have a big neck.

LOL when I was in high school and was not fat, and stood 5, 11 and weighed 185 pounds with a 17 inch neck, it has only gotten bigger sadly to say.

Now to find a shirt that is big enough for my neck, lol I have to go to big and tall, I think the last time I checked it was 21 inches? that was 40 pounds ago though (heavier so maybe my neck shrunk) Still, the 21 inch neck shirts are for HUGE guys, and my neck is not proportinal to my body lol, so the shirts are like tents! I can hold them out at least ten inches to the sides!!

LOL now you guys prolly think I look like some kind of mutant!

Got pics?

What do you do with a guy like James Bond?   In or out?   Odds are most of us admire him; he kills red meat and women fall of over themselves for him.   But he can tie a tie and he drinks vodka martinis and is even particular about how they are made.   And I doubt any Retrosexual would condone owning a tux.

nash.. my ties allways look fine.. it is me that looks awkward in em..

funerals and weddings are the only events that require a suit and tie and even then... only about half.   I simply throw away last decades funeral/wedding suit and tie and go to my "friend" at the Mens Warehouse and get a new grey suit with new belt and tie and have the salesman tie it and lossen it carefully for the event..   the suit and tie are then stored in case they are needed (gawd forbid) again before it is time to buy a new suit.

James Bond is...... fictional and.... A tie is pretty darn uncomfortable when I grab you by it and throw you around the friggin wedding/funeral.

What's wrong with ties and tuxs?
Nuthin wrong with looking smart occasionally.  Sheesh.

The only question really is d'ya want a standard or Windsor knot?

[lazs2]

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Another question:

Whining in general, and whining about a computer game in particular.

In or out?

A Windsor Knot is simple. Wrap twice, over and under. TA DA! Any male that is intimidated by a friggin knot needs to have his testosterone level checked. He has probably been secretly watching the midnight reruns of Oprah.
Personally, I don't like wearing a tie but I had to for work and got used to it. BTW, a nice silk tie collection can come in handy if your girlfriend has a wild side. Here again, knots and testosterone come into play.

That's not a windsor knot, that's a standard knot.  A windsor knot is wrap one side, wrap the other side, wrap both sides, under and over.

Edit cos I hadda go tie one to figure out how to describe it.

Tough to get a small knot with Winsors, especially when tying those really fat ties.  But, you can get a perfect triangle with them which is tough to do any other way.

How did a thread about being a man degenerate into how to tie a tie?

Wearing one may not make you a poof, but talking about tying one, like any real man would care is going to make most people wonder.

Lets talk about killing animals and eating them for christ sake!

[lazs2]

listening to people argue about their knots in their ties makes me want to wander off and shoot something.

I wish their was a place around here withen 2 hours I could shoot that was not a range, range rules suck, lol and shooting with people all around me I do not know well make me nervous, I have seen some yahoos do some wacky stuff!
