I do it because it makes you look more defined.

WRONG. You look like a moron. It does not make you look more defined. Darker colors wouldn't lead to an illusion of more definition. It leads to the conclusion that you're paying someone to give you melanoma.

It adds to definition if you have something there to begin with. When was the last time you saw a pasty white bodybuilder competing?

I think he's talking about the big boxy sunglasses that you can wear over your regular prescription glasses. Only old people use them, because they don't care what they look like.
oh no. it's much worse...

Geez, why not just wear a welding mask?

In Alaska, people fake n bake all the time. Some are more ovbious than others. Personally I prefer to have/see a little color. Pasty people don't look healthy. Now that I'm in (a place I can't mention without a mod slapping me with a trout) I've noticed that the darkest people are the tourists.

Most people here have nice, moderate tans (myself included) but we're careful to use the sunscreen so we don't overdo it.

Actually, it does make me look better. I don't overtan - just a few sessions every once in awhile. I tan really fast, but I also lose it fast and I get really pale. I have dark circles under my eyes so that stands out pretty bad when I'm pale and I look sickly.

WTF would you do something that gives you cancer, more or less killing yourself, just to please somebody else's media-whore generated version of the "ideal" image created by Hollywood and idiots like Paris Hilton? That's just the most moronic thing ever.


Not to mention in 20 years you're going to look like that Magda chick from There's something about mary.



LMAO I was trying to think of her name for the rant but couldn't recall it

A nice tan looks a lot better than being pale greenish white any day. Sorry you feel differently.

ROFL! However.. he's right, a nice tan does DOES make someone more attractive, but that's if you ask ME. Obviously tastes are like opinions though, and you know what opinions are like and how many people have them..

the only thing i've gotten out of this thread is that the OP is pale as hell and doesn't brown but turns red when in the sun for more than 5 minutes.

he probably looks albino.
