I dunno, the effort that goes into maintaining a tie to keep yourself looking good really seems to say something instead of the lazy easy way out bow-tie.

Ties look sexier on a guy.
Bowtie just makes him look like he's just joking around.

Of course...that's my opinion....

Ties, mainly cause a tie can always class up someons if its worn right. Also, they're easier to tie then bowties, at least in my opinion.

Ties. They have many more uses than just completing your outfit. Tourniquet. A cool prop if you're being jumped by henchmen. Something for a very attractive lady to guide you somewhere so she can seduce you. In some strange Macguyver world, I'm sure it can be used to replace a broken belt in your car. While were on the subject of belts, a lady could use it as one when she's wearing nothing but your button down shirt and her heels after she's done seducing you....the list goes on.

Bowties make you look a bit of a prat unless you're in evening wear, or you're a sufficiently eccentric old man to pull it off.

I'd go for a tie, but the cravat certainly has something to say for itself.

Bowties, obviously. Though this may just be because I know how to tie one.

Bowties have their moments but I love a good, solid, dependable, single-Windsor-knotted tie. Or a wacky Don Cherry tie, those are awesome too.

I prefer normal ties. It also doesn't help that I typically only see bowties on comedians/clowns who are trying to look silly.

Simple both are great and both have their places. I wore my first bowtie about two weeks ago as part of a tuxedo to an Engineers and Welders dinner (sounds boring but they had a band and a comedian so it was great fun plus the boss paid for all the drinks...) but I regularly wear a tie too. I do feel the need to quote my old history teacher now though, "A real man knows how to tie a bowtie." after several attempts to get him to show us how to do so he finally relented only to be unable to tie it himself good times...

Because only the pro's garrote from the front.

Seriously, he's the reason I'll prefer ties anyday.
