FaithManor Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Of my three sons, only one likes to dress up. The other two not only do not like it, but consider it torture. So the 16.5 year old is getting dressed for the rocket team NASA presentation today and while adjusting his tie said, "I am going to whine and complain about every single tie I have to wear including when I am forced to attend weddings, even my own!" Me: "You are going to be forced to get married?" Him: "If I am at a wedding and the program says I am the groom,yup....I am being forced!" Me: "Dude, if you are forced to get married, don't blame me. Nuh uh. The last thing I need is the family drama of an unhappy in law!" Sometimes I do not understand this child! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravin Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 He should plan a theme wedding that lets him dress up in pre-necktie historical costume. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairfarmhand Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 The whole family marvels that a strip of fabric around the neck is the dressed up version for guys. But I suppose that hose and heels are just as awful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I suppose that hose and heels are just as awful. I suggested a round of "trade places" in which he would wear 2.5" heals, hose, and a slip under a dress while I wore dress pants, wingtips, and a tie. He was NOT amused!:D 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Hose and heels were men's fashion before they were women's fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcadia Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) Richard Branson does formal without a tie :) My male cousins and nephews didn't bother with a tie either for their weddings or business meetings. My lawyer guy friends would wear ties but prefer not to. Edited November 29, 2016 by Arcadia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnE-girl Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 My lawyer husband puts his tie on in his office before going to court or meeting with a client, and usually takes it off while he's driving home. He tries to keep his actual tie-wearing time to the absolute minimum. I remember some female comedian in the nineties who wondered how smart men could be if they start each day tying a small noose around their necks. It does make you wonder how that seemed like a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
