| His girlfriend hates his Spiderman necktie |
There are just a few things that a man should not allow his girlfriend or wife to meddle in - one of those things is not to interfere in his taste in neckties.
Well I really do not know what to say about this one. This guy’s girlfriend hates
his Spiderman necktie with a passion.
Her
post is below in which she is crying for help, actually it is more like seeking some satisfaction that
she is not alone in her opinion of why it is dumb for a guy to wear a tie with a super
hero illustrated on it.
I found this blog post on
Storylane while searching the web for any competition
to see who is selling Spiderman and other superhero ties. I was reassured
again, that there is no competition.
We
have the greatest collection of Marvel and DC Comic Book Superhero neckties in
the world.
Personally I see a major conflict in personalities here and especially with her
apparent lack of compassion concerning her boyfriend’s taste in men’s fashion accessories
and his desire to express himself in a very creative way.
She rants and raves over why anyone should be
a slave to fashion after he tries to defend his fondness for wearing a
Spiderman tie claiming that it is the latest rage and that it cost 152 Euros in
Lyon where he had recently bought it.
She actually loses her argument by claiming
that
“fashion is not what everybody wears but what suits us” and to really sink
her authority on this matter she continues,
"where is ones personality.” Personality
regarding fashion and wear what you like – I rest my case, this relationship is
headed for the graveyard, she is choking him and at the same time contradicting
herself for the sake of controlling him.
This unique fashion statement is known as a novelty or conversation necktie. Almost anything that can be imagined has been designed as a necktie from cartoon characters to rubber chickens. It is all meant to be fun and the motive behind it is for a man to create a sense of who I am and what I like, not unlike why a man wears a T Shirt or other clothing that illustrate a football team, a hobby or a brand of beer that he fancies.
So what is the big deal if this guy wants to wear a Spiderman tie. If his girlfriend thinks that this is stupid then they lack at least that one thing in common, its that special thing called expression. She is making a big deal out of nothing and even worse she explains that she practically humiliates him over it. Men wear certain ties to make themselves stand out and to be different. Some guys will only wear a Tabasco Theme Tie or a Rep Striped Tie. Clearly it is personality in dressing.
This brings to mind a famous men's fashion quote - Neckties, “satisfy modern man’s desire to dress in art,” Harry Anderson, American
Magician and actor
I can tell you this, if that was me, I would have told her what time is was right
there in the middle of the street while she laughed and explained how stupid
his Spidy Tie was.
I could not, and would not ever change my way for anyone.
Unfortunately it gets worse as this guy did
give in apparently and removed his necktie and the worse part is that his killer Marvel
Comics Collector tie ended up in the trash that night.
Someone needs to remind that guy that at the
end of the day it will always be a man’s world and if that means having enough style
to follow a fashion trend or not to follow a fashion trend that is the way it
is.
Not that I do not honor the other half of the human species. Actually I believe that females are way smarter then males and the way it is starting to look men have nearly caused enough carnage by purely not thinking or by thinking in an evil manner that civilization has reached a very precarious place.
It may start with a tie or some other thing and before you know it this guy will not be able to
do anything or wear anything without his babe’s approval.
It reminds me of a very old comic strip from
mid last century called Casper Milktoast.
My father used to always say
“I’m no Casper Milktoast." This popular cartoon always had Casper in a jam as he had to ask his wife’s permission for
everything that he did.

| Silver Surfer Tie |
It is a trend for sure regarding men's fashion possibly a trend that is has past already as ties are not worn as much as they used to be. None-the-less, Spiderman ties are really cool and guys who wear ties often will want to have one tied around their neck that is makes a statement.
I own a Spiderman silk tie in my personal collection that illustrates the first comic
book issue “The Amazing Spiderman.”
I also own a Silver Surfer tie which I
consider to be the most beautiful necktie ever made and a Wolverine tie that is
another prize in my tie collection, ( you can check them out below ).
Both
of those are awesome designs fashioned in fine Italian silk by Mark Abramhoff
of the Ralph Marlin Tie Company.
He
could not afford the royalties that Marvel was demanding and not enough men
were wearing ties so he discontinued those ties in 2001 and as well he sold his
business soon after - which recently folded up completely.
I had sold out of my entire inventory of Wolverine ties before I kept one
for myself but I had a plan.
A few years
later I was able to wrestle a Wolverine necktie from Mark – it was his personal
tie.
If my girlfriend would not approve of
my taste in neckties and that I also wear cowboy boots with men’s suits or maybe something else that I felt was dear to me - she would not be my
girlfriend.
I know one thing for sure;
some garbage picker got really lucky that night when he found a killer Spiderman
tie in the trash.
Although the superhero ties are no longer made we still have inventory and
we as well have a few sources where we can some of them.
Maybe that guy dumped his far too serious
girlfriend and he will want another “Web Slinging” Marvel Comics Spiderman tie. These ties are not easy to find and he'll be happy if he discovers our
Super Hero Ties at Nice Tie Store we have some really cool super hero ties –
best collection in the world for sure.
Here is where her story begins - He takes his money from his wallet. Drops some notes into a carved book-like cover on a silver plate. We had had a most delectable and divine dinner! We have known each other for two years and a special friendship arose between us.
He gets up, pulls my chair and helps me into my coat and hands me the beautiful perfumed-special-intention-red-roses. We walk towards a lonely waiting door! What a beautiful night, but I'm almost bursting with laughter, right there and loud. He notices something oddish on my face. How can I tell him I hate his tie!!! It is so ridiculous! I have been controlling my giggles throughout dinner. How can a grown-up man wear a tie with a Spiderman? How can there be any romance whatsoever looking at Spiderman stuck to a strong man's sexy chest?
I had to tell him why I uncontrollably burst out laughing in the middle of the street! "What? You don’t like this tie? It cost one hundred and fifty two Euros in Lyon. It is the latest fashion!" Who cares for fashion that much? Fashion is not what everybody wears, but what suits us! Where is one's own personality? Stuck in the shop-windows?
It's true we are globalizing... but must we all dress the same way? Wear the same shoes? Have the same hair style? Green is fashion? Wear red! "That evening Spiderman tasted the smelly old rubbish bin in the street! she concluded.
And that is something that Stan Lee, thousands of Spiddy fans and myself can hardly bare to think about.
