Isn’t the bow in a present there for celebrative and decorative purposes?
The necktie originates from a bow kind of. Some men even wear bows with a suit, especially with a dress suit. It’s part of many butlers’ uniform.
Never have a thought of them as childish, but if that’s what you see then so be it.
Exactly. Bows on presents are meant to be festive and frivolous. You see them at Christmas, a holiday centered around children.
How many adults do you see with bow ties? Want an example? Tucker Carlson started his career wearing a bow tie. His whole shtick was he was a young edgelord conservative. The bow tie went with his youthful look.
I think you've really misunderstood bow ties.
Your logic is absolutely ridiculous lmao
Thanks for letting us have a glimpse of your thoughts. If you do requests, I would like to see you do jewellery next, which are decorative and celebrative and centered around some holidays as well.
Look at these young boys, nary a wrinkle nor a gray hair between them
