The sheer assymetry of the FIH knot just repulses me. Am I the only one who feels this way?

stfunoob. ! Just kidding. I have a friend who is an engineer and he is very well dressed, but he hates asymmetry (probably due to his profession) and the guy is a posterchild for symmetrical dressing. Even his PS have symmetrical peaks. Unfortunately he doesnt have 2 breast pockets on his jackets

I believe many people live in some bizarre world where the appeal of a tie is based on the difficulty required in tying the knot. This is absurd, but often leads to the Windsor being the 'king' of knots. It is a pity. Also, at school the four in hand was what everyone wore, without knowing how great it was, so, I suppose, many have bad memories of the knot.
