tan or no tan?

[kitkitkitty]

do you guys prefer a girl with a tan or 'english rose' and quite pale?

[doppelgaenger]

It really depends on a girl's complexion. I like both brown and white girls.

I like the color of tan skin, but I hate the way tanning prematurely ages women. I've known some women who were barely30 but looked like beef jerky after so many years of tanning. Fortunately, my girlfriend has a natural skin color like a bronze tan, thanks to her mixed race heritage.

consider this you will look bronzed and beatiful now in 5 years you'll look significantly older than you are. white girls who tan age way, way faster... And I don't mean mature looking I mean you look straight up old.

oh i don't plan on tanning. i'm natually pretty pale, have quite a few freckles and i'm happy that way. i feel that tanning makes me feel like im cooking/ sizzling away.

ohh ok, date asians they love super pale girls (traditionally).

background- if you're dark it means you worked out in the fields meaning you're not wealthy. if you're pale it means you didn't have to do such manual labour and therefore more privledged ie more desirable.

I don't mind so much but I would avoid a girl who's bright orange and looks like she visits a tanning place every day.

True. Only now the paradigm is kind of the reverse. Pale means you spent all day working indoors in a cube farm, tan means you have the leisure time to lay out by the pool. Today, people get skin cancer from tanning. In Victorian times, women got skin cancer from using carcinogenic makeup that made them look artificially pale.

fake tan is a big no...or sititng in the sun and get 'leathery'!

other than that, the colour of anyones skin shouldnt matter.


p.s. i always think pale is like snow white - which is a good thing!

[Indignant]

are we talking about tanning or the color of the skin?

[kitkitkitty]

going out to make yourself tanned rather than natural.

[rain.man]

Pale with freckles, yum. Throw in red hair and I'll melt

[Indignant]

what about those who are naturally brown?

[girl68]

I think she's asking about herself.

[adam95]

no tan. no no. especially the fake make you orange ones. natural is always better. whatever the colour is
