I've never worn a tie to work, nor worked anywhere with any sort of dress code. Living in northern california, the whole concept seems a bit foreign to me. Bankers and doctors don't even wear ties. If you're wearing a suit and tie you're probably a used car salesman or 2nd rate real estate broker. However, I've worn suits and ties to things like new year's eve parties and art gallery openings and I felt like it helpe…

Note to dudes: If you weigh less than 150 lbs and are not short, you probably have no idea what your pant waist size is. Most of you think it's 32 inches. That's wrong, and your pants look baggy.

Neckties always struck me as phallic symbols. A long article of clothing worn only by men that starts at the base of the head and points at the crotch.

Hence the tiebar, which intend purpose is to allow you to pop out your tie. The further, the more phallic (and dandy).
