Fact of the day: neckties are a torture device. 😱

One of the happiest days of my life was when I came home from my next to last year of seminary, just a few weeks before diaconal ordination, and dumped a bag of neckties on my dad’s bed.

I told him “Won’t be needing these anymore.”

I haven’t worn a necktie in almost six years. I’m not complaining.

Some people are already in a marriage or getting there, or happily single. Others — and there is a growing number — are singles who would like to change their condition. Whichever sex us singles happen to be, we end up having to take the opposite sex’s attraction into account. Or rather we don’t really have to, but it’s often having to choose between our own comfort and attraction. Personally, I tend to choose somewhere midway through. I don’t disregard the other sex’s attraction, but I don’t normally make everything revolve around it either, though if I choose to ignore it, I also choose the consequences (basically the matter of not getting to have the cake and eat it too, or at least not always and not fully).

My personal attitude is if somebody isn’t attracted to me dressing as I normally do we’re not compatible.

And who wears neckties in the average workplace?

Management.

Coincidence?

I don’t think so.

(Full disclosure: I am in management and am required to wear a coat and tie to work. So I speak from experience.)

Quite fashionable and photogenic, too. Gotta love it.

Probably a Miami fan when it comes to NFL professional football.

No. The Fifth Synod of Marinius condemned the use of shorts by dolphins. It was a very heated debate at the time. Oddly, most moral theologians believe that it is licit for Dolphins to wear knickerbockers. Of course, female dolphins must never wear ties…
 
Yes, technically the roller skates I bought my four year old son were labelled “for girls”… didn’t notice when I first picked them out. They were the only ones in his size. They don’t strike me as particular feminine at all, and he’s never caught on…
 
My favorite team is the Vikings but I do enjoy the dolphins and their Tank for Tua haha 🐬
 
That’s understandable. I’m a Lions fan, but don’t hold that against me. After all, when we have a bye week, the bye week is favored by a field goal.
 
According to the cardboard label, I ride a woman’s bike.

I guess because it’s a white, silver & turquoise color pattern. I thought it looked cool and gave it an arctic vibe. Most of the men’s bikes were black with a side of black with a possible side of dark grey.

They are usually better made, and the sleeves come in different lengths. Women get no choice in sleeve length.
 
1/2 Windsor when ones man is indisposed or said tie is rather on the thick side. Otherwise full Windsor is the order of the day for us chaps! Wouldn’t want to be thought of as effeminate. What Ho! ( If @(name removed by moderator) can talk cod Shakespear then I’m going full on Bertie Wooster)
 
That’s interesting, because with the heat here I was just wondering if those Roman collars were acually comfortable. I’m guessing the answer is Yes.

Yes, that’s true across the board for all men’s clothing, and a big reason why it’s often preferable to women’s if you have a body that will fit the clothes or a tailor who can make them to fit a womanly shape.

As a 5’9” female entering my teens in the 60’s, blue jeans were coming into fashion in a big way and I loved them. But, back then most women’s clothing in general were designed for the average height of women being 5’4”. Finding women’s pants and pantsuits long enough for my legs was impossible. Women’s tall sizes were rare to non existent. Men’s jeans came in different lengthens! Woohoo, I could find jeans long enough me! Nevermind that they didn’t fit very well in the hips…I could live with that with a belt.

For a choir presentation my senior year we needed to be wearing black pants with white shirts. Usually, the women wore skirts but now they wanted all of us to look the same. After searching in vain for a woman’s shirt…in white…with sleeves long enough, not mention the black slacks…I wondered over into the men’s department and easily found both and fit me quite well. I shopped in both the men’s and ladies department for years before tall women’s clothing became common. I have enough bust that I never looked masculine in anything!
