Oh man, I definately definitely* tried the "just loop it around and hope for the best" method and ended up looking like a deflated balloon animal. Still maintain it’s a valid tie-tying technique, just maybe not for job interviews

Tying ties as an intuitive exercise makes sense until you try to explain it to someone who's never seen one before - my dad had a job interview and asked me to teach him the "quick way" I'd pick up from TV when I was a kid, turns out he just ends up with the thing dangling off his neck

not gonna lie

Tying a tie is actually kind of like making a knot in a sailboat - there's a specific sequence to it and once you learn it, you'll get a weird intuition for it, kinda like how you know if a knot's good just by feel and practice. My dad used to make me practice until I could tie it in the dark.

so did you learn how to tie a tie from someone who actually knew how, like a dad or a prep school teacher, or was it more of a YouTube-crash-course kinda situation tho *(edited)*

actualy, my dad who was an seperate separate* by trade could tie a tie in UNDER 30 seconds with his eyes closed which always weirded me out, but I think its because he...

totally tied my tie on a first try when I was a kid just for a family photo shoot and I was convinced I'd 'figured it out' lol
