I am a 40 year old man, who has only just learnt how to tie my shoelaces properly. I have spent my entire life using the two bunny ear approach. My 8 year old daughter recently explained how to tie laces like an adult.
@fesshole As a parent I knew 3 different ways how to tie, all are equally "adult", but I hated laces. But once I listended to a podcast and one host droped the game changer of my life as a side note: The Ian Knot: https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/ianknot.htm Learn it and thank me later.

@ngc_ollie I tried teaching myself that one once, but the muscle memory of the 'regular' one I learned during my childhood got into the way.
The Berluti Knot is another knot I'd like to add to the ones I can use, but I fear the muscle memory of the one I use daily, would just get into my way.

Then again, in daily life I prefer shoes with a bit of a stretch that I can just 'pull on' anyway...
