I've watched them.

It's something about watching it and them moving the opposite directions and such. I don't know, I can't grasp it for some reason.

I'm constantly yelling at the computer, "Slow the **** down!!"

hahaha... dude, it took me a long time to get it too, and I'd have to rewind the video a few times, but literally once you get it, you got it.. you tie all your ties, and never have to worry about it ever again.

Once you've watched the vids and know what's supposed to go where, try closing your eyes and doing it by feel. It eliminates the backwards perspective.

I did it once, after trying like 1,000,000 times.

So I untied it and had someone else tie it for me.

I've spent hours upon hours trying to teach myself and I can't seem to do it.

Practice practice practice

Oh, and dimples aren't a requirement. They seemed to be in favour with news anchors and stock-brokers in the 90's and early 2000's but have gone away somewhat.
Whether or not your tie has a dimple really depends on a) how wide the tie is, b) how thick or thin the material is, and c) what style of knot and how tight you tie it.
If you wear a wide silk tie with a tight half-Windsor, then yeah, you're gonna have a dimple. A more modern slim or skinny tie, especially in a heavier fabric, will not.

I don't know, I sort of like the tie dimple. I use a four-in-hand knot usually.

That's a classic knot!
Now if you'd just put pants on.
