How do you tie a tie? I can never figure it out.
Depends on what sort of knot you want. I usually tie a Half Windsor:
Place the tie around your neck, then cross the ends over in front of your neck, face up, with the end that is the "front" of the tie on top. Wrap that "front" end around the "back" end once, then tuck it up behind where the ends cross, and tuck it under itself where it's wrapped around the "back" end.

When I do it like that, I can get it to work right, I just can get it to look right. Like having the little triangle thingy at the top.

I found it helps (At least for me) to have the thin end of the tie a little (Sometimes a lot) "shorter" then the fat end when tying it. Gives me more room to tie it, and consequently, more leeway to tighten it.
Edit: I always use the 'four-in-hand' knot which I learned as the half-windsor on that site. Azrael Heavenblade fucked around with this message on 10-30-2004 at 05:35 PM.
Damn you, you double standards of doom!

From the book of Callalron, chapter 3, verse 16:
You can go here and it will show you how to tie a Windsor, half Windsor, Four-in-hand and even a bow tie. For some reason I've kept this page bookmarked even though I HATE wearing ties.
That page is awesome! I use it to tie my little brother's ties for school.

I could have sworn that that was the lazy-man, rather than a half-windsor.
