    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?

    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.

    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. [​IMG]

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
