It's one of the essential skills than a man must master.
Particularly if one rubs shoulders with James Bond types and/or want to impress the ladies. How can you properly dress for the evening if you can't knot the tie? |

Yes. It's much easier than tying a straight tie

After church this morning, two people came up to me and asked if I tied my bow tie myself or was it a clip-on? I wanted to reply with:
1) do I not look capable of tying a bow tie? 2) it's no harder than lacing your shoes. 3) and, if you cant tie one, don't even bother with the clip-on! Instead, I just said "tied it myself". 
ETA: note the self: show Lorax how to tie a bow tie. |

don't wear bowties.
I do tie a Windsor knot, however. a surprising number of people can't do that. |

Just last night. I had a symphony concert to perform and broke out the fake-ass tie again.
Even up on stage, blending in, I still feel like I should really learn how.
Especially since I wear one a few times a year |

Yes, bow ties as well as three different knots for regular ties. Somewhere in the night/early morning it will be time to take the tie off. Don't be the guy with a clip-on hanging off his collar. It screams "My mother dresses me because I do not know how to dress myself" a message that the ladies find unappealing.

I'd have to review the procedure, but I could do it when I used to work catered events.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
A gentleman dressed well in an evening suit with a self tied bow tie distinguishes himself and stands heads and shoulders above the rest. May I suggest that in your situation that you dress as if you were a member of the Philadelphia Orchestra. Who knows, someday ........ It's easy to learn. After all it's only a knot. Well executed but still a knot. I know a nice tie shop in Chicago, with internet sales. Just ask me. I used to work in a high pressure environment, where all the managers had a code to look professional. The rule was, if you were caught in a clip on tie or a short sleeved short with a tie, aka "a McManager". It was perfectly ok to sneak up behind you and kick you in the taint. And here I am, wearing a fake bowtie when, between the symphony, Yacht Club and other events, I need to wear one. My whole life is a scam.
Thank you for the offer. I think I will buy one or two and watch a YouTube on tying one |

Seldom wear one but I can tie it if need be. I regard the clip on bow ties like buying a Hesse rifle. To be avoided if at possible

Quite honestly I don't know how to tie a bow tie, but I know how to do cool shit like operate heavy weapons such as 81 mm mortars, MK-19 grenade launchers, and M-2 machine guns. I can do cartwheels too.
I revile bow ties for the simple fact all I've seen wear them outside of a tuxedo are faggy liberal men who have never gotten piss on a toilet seat or women who have pee holes in their underwear. I don't wish to emulate effiminate men, therefore I forgo them for routine wear. |

As far as evening wear goes, nothing screams "Rental" like a pre-tied bow ties or patent leather shoes.
I struggle to tie a bow tie and always need to allow extra time to get dressed when I wear a tuxedo. And I keep a pre-tied bow tie in the kit in case of failure. But so far I have managed to avoid that humiliation. I wear long ties every day and can tie them in my sleep. The problem with the bow tie is that I only wear one every year or two. |

It's a nice skill to have, though a little less used now that black tie has been bumped up from semi-formal to formal. Matching it with non-black tie is very much an exercise in careful fabric choice. |
