Who here rocks a bowtie?

I’m thinking of going mad old school and rocking The Nutty Professor look.

I did back in my preppy days. Gonna wait till I’m 50 before I go back to that look.

If your a brother though you should. Also where glasses. White people love black guys with glasses and especially bow ties. Uncle Tom that shit.

Yeah, not that I want to do racial profiling, but it depends. Black guy = yes. Asian = no. Others = depends.

It doesn’t fit my style. Personally I think ties are the way to go and tell girls you’re a man. I like more serious “men’s” wear and have never been able to pull of the more flamboyant colors and stuff. That being said, if you can pull off the dapper look, you’d be more like Andre from Outkast.

commando is the way to go

I had a professor who used to wear only bow ties. Strange dude, 6’7 red head. But he was BSD, bc he was part of a group that tried to purchase a big NBA franchise.

You’re like 6’5 or so, aren’t you, CvM? You can do it. At 6’0 / 170 I’d probably get punched on the face.

Some folks in small cap value have made it their calling card. I don’t think I could pull it off.

I don’t mind wearing a quality shirt/tie/suit, but if I ran my own firm, we’d probably be business casual. Or I’d just work from home. Whenever I do work from home I’m suddenly struck by how much more comfortable it is to work in a space that is exclusively mine, where I can wear a hoodie and put my feet up on a desk if I feel like it.

my old boss used to wear bowties, and he was a tool. For example, he ran a small WM office and he had an initial before the name he went by

^ I do that. FU.

I don’t have a problem with the people who do the initial thing. You don’t get to decide what your parents name you and if they gave you a crappy first name but a decent middle name, it’s the easiest route. Sure, you could just ignore the crappy first name and go by your middle name but that would confuse the heck out of people on the occassions where you needed to use your legal name. You could also change your name, but that’s a real PITA unless you’re a woman who just got married.

Right, like my brother: Poindexter Blaine Mason.

I’ve been called by my middle name since I was two years old. I can’t help it if my parents are fickle.

^^ that would actually be worth the hassle of a legal name change.

Kind of interesting that your parents would call you by your middle name. After 2 years they just decided that they made a bad choice for the first name? My best friend’s father-in-law actually offered him $10k if he would name his son Ignatius (after the FIL, of course) and he refused. I told him he was an idiot and should have just called the kid by his middle name.

Yeah my siblings didnt like it either. They persuaded my parents that my middle name was the way forward.

Asian=yes if you’re in some sort of group dance competition

Exact same situation man. Use the First initial then second and last name too.

Maybe that’s why we’re such argumentative entitled pricks? I knew we had something in common and finally found it.
