Tying ties is tricky. Left hand, right hand, in the mirror, back to front, over and under and backwards and forwards. The tie-tying comment fits in nicely with a very incisive comment someone else made concerning the lack of male role models in many black families. Who taught you to tie a tie? I bet you it was dear old Dad, as it was in my case. I have never known a woman who knows how to tie a tie. A man thing. If Dad is not there to teach you, you'll have trouble until someone teaches you in your 20s, or whenever it is a man starts wearing ties regularly, if he ever does. I suspect that the ability to tie a tie by age 15 is a great indicator of where a kid will be employment-wise by age 25. And the more formalized the tie-tying training, the greater success in the employment field. A 15 rear old kid who knows when the cut of his collar requires a four-in-hand, a full Windsor, a half Windsor, or the other very complicated know whose name I cannot recall is going to be a CEO of something. A 15 year old who can tie a bow tie is headed for the Presidency. The above only applies East of the Mississippi.
