Tie or no tie
Where does the tie fit in today other than very structured business settings? Do women appreciate a good tie? Is a cheap tie better than no tie at all? And, is there a woman out there that can tie a knot other than to a bedpost?

It still works as an accessory even in settings that are not strictly formal. For example I was going out for dinner a couple of weeks ago and had on black pants and a black button down shirt. While the restaurant did not have any specific requirements a tie added some color to the ensemble.

Why a cheap tie? I guess if the rest of your (use of the pronoun plural, not referring to you, singular) attire cost $100-200 bucks you consider the $10 tie, but otherwise why? So under no circumstances is a cheap tie acceptable.
Increasingly in social and business situations I'm finding (& wearing) shirt/jacket sans tie acceptable...and enjoy it but like everything else in fashion this may change shortly...

I love a man in a collared shirt and tie. I am great at giving the pickiest of men the best shirt and tie combos. My ex swore no one could ever get it right...3 years in a row and he even wore one in his work photo for the paper lol.
I don't expect a client to show up for an hour appt with that on, but it certainly helps get me in the mood. Add some Armani Gio, and it's an instant pantie dropper.

I Guess I'm A Rigid Guy
I often wear a suit to a session. Most ladies seem to like the look. One lady has a thing for French cuffs (she doesn't know why) so I try to accomodate her.
A cheap tie only screams CHEAP. Only thing worse is a string tie.
I use Armani Gio but the bottle is getting empty so I may try a new scent. Any suggestions?

Ties do look nice and are appreciated by me, however the only place a tie is absolutely necessary(but maybe not) is a "black tie affair. There are lot's of other options to business formal and formal wear. Correct me if I'm wrong.
awl4knot, I like Ralph Lauren.

I'm a sucker for a man in a nice suit, but it's never necessary. As long as a gent shows up looking clean and presentable I'm a happy camper. I do know how to tie a tie, but I have to be wearing it to do so. I haven't quite mastered it backwards.

I love a good tie. There is something so very sexy about helping a man with his tie in the morning. (I suspect he re-ties it when I'm not looking.) I like the tie on a woman as well. In fact, I've "borrowed" a few ties from my gentlemen friends so that I could wear it. A nice dark suit, a tie and stilettos..very sexy. In fact, I think I'll dress this way today. Am I the only one who finds this look sexy?

Tie
I am lucky I guess.
I was able to take all my Hugo Boss, Armani, and Lauren suits to Goodwill and just said goodbye. I keep a "funeral tie" as sometimes needed.
I loathe shaving, underwear, and ties! Only on special or necessary occasions do I wear them(underwear is daily of course unless I am in sweats). Socks below 32'.
I reject all that I used to do and now am much more comfortable and happy.
Tommy Bahama jeans, nice soft loafers and Aqua di Gio always!

Hard to tell, dear. Anything you wear looks sexy.

I fondly recall a trip with a lovely lady. I had a business meeting to attend, when I returned, she was wearing one of my ties -- just the tie.
