I'm not that young, but I always have to look up how to tie a tie when I need one. I work from home, I don't do church, and I don't do social events.
But sure, let me practice a skill I will use once or twice a year when someone gets married or dies, rather than spend that time learning something relevant or just doing something fun.
This year was an exception, as I went on a cruise and wore formal wear to the dinners (Though honestly, you can manage formal without ties nowadays, the times change, my dad almost never wears them and he goes to church and wears suits constantly). I got by just fine with a little diagram and having to retie it a few extra times when I had screwed up. Actually learning how to do it to a degree beyond that level is just really pointless to my lifestyle.
Is it cold in here?:
West Virginia and Louisiana, and I gather it's not uncommon in US history.

I was under the impression at the time that she wanted to kiss him when she was sitting on the dock with him. But decided to do (the risk-adverse thing) and tell him that she was trans first. Which is a really smart idea, considering the sheer volume of transsexuals murdered for getting into relationships with guys who don't know they are trans. It doesn't hurt to practice cautionary discretion to avoid potentially dangerous situations.
Murder is not okay. :psyduck:
See, this is what I like about Martin. He's not the sort of person to murder a girl outta rage because she has a penis. And that is the most important milestone for measuring morality by.

Ah .. The Tie ...
Haven't retie mine for a year now ...
I think I should spend my day doing it...

This really depends where you are, and what you mean by "formal". For me, formal dress for men involves bow ties, never mind ties. Ties are required at the twice-weekly formal dinners and a fair few people wear them to lectures in my faculty (but they are aspiring lawyers so that may not be a representative sample). I can't even imagine anyone turning up to a job interview not wearing a tie.
