Tanning

[Shard]

What are your thoughts on males tanning? I go from time to time and just got a month pass to go, I catch alot of flack for it from people though. I think it's totally heterosexual to want to look better for the ladies, and if you have to go to a tanning bed to get a little edge then why not? Keep in mind I live in Washington so sunbathing is out of the question. I'd rather be "gay" and go tanning than be a pale white dude that looks like he stays on the computer all day.

So does anyone else go? Anyone have views on people that do?

Well, being a dark-skinned black guy (not Wesley Snipes status, that's OD) I never had such a problem.

But I honestly never understood the point of tanning. Are you really light-skinned and it affects your ability to get girls?

4 "types" (I use that term loosely) of people tan.

Females
Homosexuals
Bisexuals
Metrosexuals

well i got the Marques Houston-like skin color so i've never had to use those beds. However, i got a boy who uses a bed once every two weeks and it looks unnatrual. To each his own, bu justdon't overdo it.

Shard, you are so gay.

I got a natural tan...

 

[Voodoo Child]

I don't go to tanning booths, but I do tan when I'm at the beach. It's a good excuse to show off my abs to all the ladies passing by.

 

[Pgballer17]

I dont do it, i dont mind that my skin color. It looks unnatural and can be dangerous(skin cancer).

 

[Chutney]

Don't really care about people tanning, unless they go overboard. That "coloured in with an orange marker" look is nasty.

I dont go to a tanning salon, but I try and tan outside when possible, I'm looking a bit pale at the moment though, all the talk of skin cancer over here tries to keep me out of the sun as much as possible.

 

[Voodoo Child]

pale = unattractive

The people in this thread who are calling tanners gay are more than likely n00bs who are just jealous because they spend 99% of their time behind the computer screen and are thus very, very pasty.

I think you need to check your sarcasm detector.

 

[NTC]

I dont think tanners are gay at all, I know guys who go to tanning salons, I know a guy who uses fake tan even. I dont see how taking pride in your appearance is considered gay.

Moreso talking about the kid who made that post listing the four categories or w/e...

 

[Mamba]

Tanning unnaturally = gay, but if you have a situation that restricts you from tanning natural, then it's perfectly acceptable.

Chicks who tan = gay. They look orange.

 

[huevonkiller]

All this talk about "orange chicks" being nasty isn't true. I know some real beautiful women that have been "orange" at times and I could care less.

As for my own skin color, I'm (mostly) Hispanic and Arab so I've almost got a natural tan. I can get a bit white but nothing freaky or too pasty looking.

 

[Mamba]

^holy crap...I'm 50% Arab, 50% latin...and we share the same birthday...what nationalities?

I'm 75% latin and 25% arab. I do have a completely arab name though (First name is Khalil). Heh.

I know it's creepy isn't it? I'll tell you the nationalities in a pm.

Yeah, lol, some people call me that.

On the orange skin talk, that's just if you tan all the time over and over. My friend did that once and he looked like a baffoon. I just like to go to get a little darker, i'm not obsessed with being dark but I think I look better with tanned skin.. as most white people do. But yea there's a point where you stop tanning so you don't look fake.

 

[Chutney]

A little orange isn't totally disgusting. It's when people start looking like oompa loompas.

 

[a13x]

For the record I used to tan on occasion. It's much easier to get an even tan in a bed then out in the sun. The orange thing only holds true if you're going to tan at a place that has crappy equipment or if you're using a cheap bronzer. Over doing it can give you a crap tacular look as well.

My experience with it, ya it works but it's just a pain to go through with. You're constantly going just to keep your tan at a certain level. I'd do it again if i knew i was going on vacation somewhere warm or if it was only for a short period of time. People who end up using the tanning beds too much have leather faces by the time they are 30.

 

[Sex Panther]

All this 'orange' talk reminds me of this pharmacist who has an obvious ovartan, sometimes looking like a carrot.

The point of a tan is to make it look like you're skin is naturally like that, not that you made it like that.

 

[Bahir]

I don't tan, mainly because I don't want to waste money on it. Winter in Sweden means I'll be wearing full-covering (exept the face) clothes, so it wouldn't mean much anyway. When summertime comes, I try to be out in the sun as much as possible to get a tan. I don't tan too easily though.

I read your first post assuming you weren't talking about me, because I put metrosexual on that list.

Post count man, post count.

Taking pride in appearance is wearing nice clothes and have hygiene and a good hair cut.

Not looking unnatural and fake.
