There's always one
The above photo is of President Bush reviewing his all-white country club campaign headquarters in Arlington. Along the reviewing line, you'll notice that one guy has a bowtie.
...like Tucker Carlson
...and Anthony Williams
...and the late Sen. Paul Simon.
At some time in their lives, these people decided that the taunts and jibes would be worth it if they could be reliably recognized as "the guy in the bowtie."
It's not something you're born with and it's not something you learn at a particular school; it's a personal decision.
Part of me wonders whether being the only guy with a bowtie provides Bowtie People with a career boost from the instant recognizability.

Don't hate just because you can tie one... besides, no one ever complains they spilled a burrito from Chipotle on their bow-tie.
