Fuck bow ties. Bow ties are for losers.
I like the fact that we have maintained a tie (pun intended) into our past.
Modern business suits trace their history back centuries through the little details, such as ties and not doing up the bottom button on suits and waistcoats (vests to Yanks), it makes the uniform for businessmen one not particularly subject to the vagaries of fashion.
If you want to know why I like it, then just look what happens when you let men get creative with black tie...

What the hell is this?
I prefer neckties because you can make so many different knot styles. I usually use this one:

lol, bow ties... hope on your penny farthing, grab your monacle, watch fob, and tweed vest. The 1800's way
Ties in general are terrible.
But if I had to pick, it would be a necktie.

This is a ridiculous critique of arbitrarily set customs.
It hasn't changed, ergo anachronistic
You're just stuck in a timeless inconsistency (teehee) whereby you demand things change for the sake of change itself.
Fashion is just as silly independently of evolution or lack thereof.just as silly
I prefer the third option: get that fucking thing off of me
I would wear a lobster bib around town before I would willingly wear a goddamn bowtie, but I'm not keen on a necktie either.
No Bolo tie option?? I'm offended. Also neckerchief sand ascots are nice.
If the person I'm interviewing shows up with an ascot or bolo tie with a sweet turquoise buckle, you know that person ain't afraid of anything and it the best choice for the job.
The TIE Interceptor of course, that is one sleek ... ah, wrong T.I.E.
btt: Necktie, the various knots can really make it stand out more or make it more classy.
