Ya gotta go for it, man!

Here's my experience since I started wearing bowties frequently about 4 years ago: I've never, in my life, had a woman other than my wife or mother compliment me on the straight tie that I was wearing. But many women have made a point of complimenting me on whichever bow tie I happened to be wearing.
