Note that here I do not say "gentlemen."
Look, it's really not that difficult to learn to tie a bow tie. I haven't done one in a while, but I'm pretty sure that, given about two tries, I could produce a respectable butterfly. Also, pre-tied ties are extremely obvious even to the casual observer, and make the wearer look like an infant.
Furthermore, though I abhor the wearing of four-in-hands, Windsor knots, etc. for dinner dress, these styles are now widely accepted, so there is no reason ever to wear a bow tie if you are for some reason incapable of tying one.
Because you are five years old.

lly bothers me is pretied ones outside of formalwear. If your going to go to the trouble of wearing bowties why pretied ones? It is the pretied ones that look stupid and foolish.
The fact that, for the first time in my life, I am dating a man who ties his own bow-tie makes me happier than I care to admit.
