Poll needs more options for #2. Stark white isn't always attractive. Having a bit of color is nice. Being totally tanned that it's completely obvious it's fake is not attractive.

Not in excess, but some is OK. My gf just started, and it's not a big difference, but she does feel she looks a lot prettier. I oblige of course.

Mystic Tan FTW! There's nothing involved in it that's harmful in the least, it'll also work on pasty ass crackers like me (Scottish...) The only downside they run about 25-30 a pop and last about a week.

I can understand a person not liking a tan because they think it's unattractive, but if you base it on "you get cancer" you need to look into Mystic Tans, the technology there is pretty cool

A lady with blond hair...blue eyes....and skin the color of a rotting pumpkin'. Even the 'best' tanning salons aren't going to give you a natrual looking tan.
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.

Or what's even worse, you have some polish or Irish girl that can't tan, they just turn red....and they KEEP GOING TANNING. They end up looking like under-cooked pork roasts. Blech. Yeah you're really sexy. Irish pride. Dip ******. Or heaven forbid they're actually part italian or spanish or something so they CAN tan, then they end up 7 shades darker than anyone in their entire family tree, and 3 shades darker than anyone on mine, and I'm Sicilian.

I can't stand when I'm walkin down the street...see a girl that looks vaguely hispanic walkin towards me...then I see blonde hair...and like grey eyes....and she's about 50...and when I get closer her skin looks like a cracked leather glove....And then she starts talkin to me she turns out to actually be 25. And she actually thinks she looks GOOD?!? Plus you're basically paying someone to give you cancer. No matter how you cut it, it's not healthy. Not since the cigarette companies has an industry had such good P.R. They basically have jacktards (I'm combining the words jackass and retard especially for these morons) forking over money hand over fist to make them look like they're in end stage liver-failure, ruin their skin, prematurely age them, AND give them cancer.

Now I'm sure some ladies are going to chime in with "oooh my MAN likes it..my MAN LOVES WHEN I'M TAN'. No he doesn't. He knows that if he tells your vapid leather-skinned orange-brown tanned ass that you look like the Great Pumpkin after it's been sitting on his porch for 6 weeks that he's not going to be getting ANY for a looooong ass time.

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...

WRONG. such TRUTH

are you angry because you dont think tan people look good or are you angry because of the health concerns that tanning can bring?

I think the truth is that sexy tan girls just dont like you and therefore you dont like them.....stick with the pasties.

This is very simple for me:

Guys cannot wear makeup to even out skin tone. Moderate tanning will do that for you very nicely.

Also, as a body builder having a little color makes my body look better.

Do I bake myself until I'm dark? No. But a moderate tan does make me look better and in the winter it helps me with seasonal depression.

I don't believe in tanning beds but I do like the way I look when returning from a tropical vacation. And generally I prefer women with tans, although less so blondes who are really tan. There's something really gross about super tan blondes... I can't say for sure what.

But I also like really pale complexions on some people.

m3h all u caucasians worrying about tanning makes me laugh. Never could figure out why caucasians are obsessed with tanning. Frankly I think artificially tanned brown skin looks horrible and especially hideous on old people. I like brown skin (am brown myself) but only natural brown not sun-burnt or tanned brown

You're ****** stupid... tanning beds will give you the same tan that the sun would. You're thinking of spray on. Quit trying to be funny.
