Thank you for making my point for me. Bow ties are famously primarily worn by children.
I literally think of grown men when I think of a bow tie, not a child.
You might be projecting some weird shit.
.... What are you talking about? Bow ties are a notable example of mens formal wear.
They're commonly seen at weddings and the most formal of events like major award events.
Just look at those infantalized... Nobel prize winners, monarchs and national leaders?
Oh, and don't forget that formal naval military attire involves a neckerchief tied quite prominently in a bow much like the underwear.
You put bowties on children because they also snag less, and it's cute when kids wear formal attire.
ive never seen a child wear a bow tie yet ive seen countless adults wear a bow tie. hope this helps!
When I think of a bowtie, the first thing that comes to mind is a barbershop quartet, not a kid
Lol ok got it, all those children in bow ties roaming the cities
