What’s the deal with bow ties?

Why are they awesome on cats?


Why are they awful on people?


Is it the cats; is it the people; or, is it the bow ties themselves? Are there exceptions? What do you think?

think about proportions for a second here. that bowtie on the cat's about the same size as his head... but that human's bow on the other hand is tiny. it's simply not a fair comparison here, of course he looks stupid while the feline is fine

Wearing a bowtie in the modern world pretty much immediately identifies you as a Republican who hates minorities and physical intimacy.

The incel community ruined bowties, the bowties aren't directly at fault.

The bowtie-width / head-width ratio is pretty much exactly the same in those pictures. You have weird observation skills. Do you propose that human bowties should be taller than they are wide?

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

They're a personality replacement tool, like cowboy hats or glasses with colored lenses.

Sure, you MIGHT meet a cool person wearing one of those things. But odds are you're about to hear a lecture about how white people are the REAL oppressed people nowadays.

If we're talking about modern times I'm pretty sure the only human being on the entire earth that wears a bowtie that is cool is Pee-Wee Herman.

I wore a bow tie to the Kentucky Derby, but that is an event where you are supposed to dress like a huge obnoxious jackass

I think the former would have some potential to be adorable but humans are ugly and should not be accessorized.

I wear a bow tie because it is commanded so by the honorable Elijah Mohammed.
