THANK YOU.... exactly.
i gotta agree. Amused is once again the voice of reason here.



WRONG. Tanning does NOT add the appearance of definition. definition is created by shadow and shading due to striations in muscles being visible. DARKER color obscures these striatiations. Body builders tan before shows because it's a common perception. There is NO other reason.

no, because you're not paying someone to give you skin cancer in 15 minute increments.

well, add mattjbak to the list of jackasses who shouldn't be talking (my name's #1 on the list btw). Tanning beds =/= sun.

Going to the beach is a waste of time, money and energy? :Q

I thought it was a great place to get some light exercise in (get a good swim in, bodysurf, throw a rugby ball aroound/play beach cricket, go for a run on the sand), see lots of hawt chicks in extremely limited amounts of clothing, and catch up with friends...

I am becoming accustomed to these ways, now that I am settled into my new digs.

I don't go to tanning salons at all, but my skin has been darkening because I've been running during the day time since I transfered to the day shift at work.

Its only an hour or so in the sun, so I haven't really bothered to put on any sunscreen as yet, but once the weather here gets really hot, sunscreen will be a must.

I agree. There is nothing wrong with someone getting a tan, geez. Actually the op sounds like a complete idiot. Next he'll be saying don't go outside in the sun.

I agree with the OP. I perfer a girl with fair and whiter skin (if she is white that is) . Why? Because it's more natural and I can actually see how nice her skin really is. Also, she will keep that nice looking skin for much longer without drying it out and damaging it in the sun.

That's what I figure, most girls that go tanning, well I don't think they look better to begin with but still, they're going to look horrid a lot sooner

I have never been to a tanning bed, but yes, during the summer, I go lay out by the pool here and there. I look better with a tan, and that's just what I have been told.

Um, no. Darker skin intensifies the shading. The shadows are darker, thus one looks more defined. Body builders use posing oil and tanning spray for a reason. The darker one is, the more defined they look.

However, that's not entirely why I do it. Hell, I don't compete. I tan MODERATELY to even out skin tone. Also to get rid of the farmer john tan I get from riding the Harley, mowing the lawn and other clothed outdoor activities.

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.

To me, pasty white skin looks horrible, but I don't like it when people go to a tanning salon either.

I always feel happier and healthier when I've been in the sun (it's good for you when you don't spend too much time in the sun).

Most girls over tan to the point that they are either red or look like chewed leather, and that's when it's gross

A nice light brown tan looks much, much better than stark white on a female to me. Sadly my wife is very white, as shes mainly Irish. She does have very cute freckles, and a rockin' body though.
