Bowties are meant to be tied but at the end of the evening and you wish to relax it's mostly acceptable to untie your bow and let it dangle. This A) proves that you knew how to tie it in the first place and B) that you know how to relax a little.
This works perfectly well in a formal tuxedo type setting, but, if like me, you are a bowtie wearer in casual or less formal settings, it's not such a good idea to untie it.
The pure essence of the BOW TIE is that it is neckwear for today's maverick of polite society who may mingle with the masses, but by virtue of his bow, will never, thank Heaven, be a member. A respected image consultant once said that the average person who wears a bow tie is distrusted by all. What all BOW TIE wearers know is that an average person would never be wearing a BOW TIE in the first place.
The bowtie truly is a bumptious article of clothing, with a distinctly independent streak, not unlike its owner. The bowtie can be worn in many ways , from the conservative pout to the boastful swagger. The bowtie has withstood the test of time and is as regal now as it was 300 years ago. The bowtie is a symbol of power, honor, and all things gentlemanly. The bowtie has evolved throughout the years, from the extravagant bow of the 1800's, to the pencil thin strip of the 1950's. Today the bowtie is a way to express one's self, all the while not getting food on your neckwear.

I guess they are meant to be tied Y? Because they are called bowties and they look so much better tied having them untied will look tacky. That's my opinion:)
