I'm the same way, the point of my tie has to right near my belt. if drives me nuts if its too short, or too long. it can stink wearing a tie every day, but I wear some nice clothing and make myself look good at work. nice pair of shoes, nice tie, nice dress shirt, nice dress pants. I like to project that professional appearence. Its cool when your getting compliments from the Vice President of the office on how nice you look.
