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?

There is a difference between the scary orange women and women who are tan.

I like tan... but as it turns out, my wife has very fair skin and can't tan much at all. So what... I don't care. I love her.

Me myself, I like having some color.

The more I read ATOT, the more I realize that 99.99% of the world's "problems" can be solved with this single phrase:

Everything in moderation.

Seriously - tanning, weed, drinking, WoW, fat chicks, skinny chicks, pr0n - you name it. If you are ranting or whining or b1tching about it, chances are, just cutting back makes your entire argument disappear.

Tanning - get some sun, but don't over do it.
Weed - enjoy it, but don't be a stoner loser
Drinking - partake, but don't get tanked and try to drive or something stupid
WoW - it's a game, not a lifestyle - go out once in a while
Fat chicks - curves are nice, beached whales are not - put down that Twinkie
Skinny chicks - fit it nice, but FFS, eat a sammich once in a while
pr0n - watch, but don't beat it until it turns purples and falls off


edit: D'oh! Queasy beat me to it this time.

White skin and body hair is not a good combination. I prefer being tan. I don't need you to tell me what's attractive.

If I planned an ATOT meet and greet session at a local tanning salon, would anyone wanna go? :laugh:

Sure let's do it in Rockville, there is one right next to the gym I go to. There is also other stuff to do around there with Bethesda less than a mile away and DC about 6 miles away. But you wouldn't know what that's like

No thanks. My gym is 5 minutes from my house which is also 5 minutes from my tanning salon, which is also 5 minutes from my house. Afterwards, I can go get something to eat from almost any type of resturaunt which is probably going to be 5 minutes from my house. After dinner, I can go to the mall and buy something with all the money I saved on gas for the day......and the mall is 5 minutes from my house.

...the fvck; you live at a metro station or something?

I just want someone who looks like they go outside for more than 10 minutes a day.

I don't need someone who spends all that money getting a really dark tan

ugh...go tan somewhere else.

edit: Yes I'm aware lola already posted saying she doesn't tan.

She tans all winter long, she was just being a smart ass.

She doesn't look pumpkin orange, Lola's got a "nice" tan.

I guess that proves that people can do things in moderation, quite a shock to most of ATOT.

I've heard idiots say 'oooh I'm building up a base tan before I go on vacation' or some trash like that. Wrong. Tanning is damage to your skin plain & simple. You don't want to burn at the beach? Wear sunblock dumbass. Saying you're building up a base-tan is like throwing yourself through a glass window and then telling everyone you're building up base-injuries before driving without a seat-belt.

As someone who works outside in the Florida sun all day, and by my experience (no medical/scientific basis), I can definitely say that having a tan does help you to not burn. Not saying the sun isn't continuing to damage the skin....but I simply don't burn/peel anymore.

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...

Changing the skin color doesn't make anybody more attractive IMO. But, people who tan feel probably better and look happier and so on. It's just like some make-up, you feel more prettier if you use it.

By the way... do many black people go tanning ?

Personnally, I don't think tanned people look more attractive. I like the plain stuff, whatever the color.

Nope. Picture this: A sun visor, only made of clear green tinted plastic, larger than a normal visor and pulled down in front of their face covering the whole thing. It does indeed look a bit like a welding mask

You're not suppose to look orange. I personally think girls with tans look better than girls without. I think it evens out their skin tone and conveys a look of health.
