For a guy, do you think being tan makes a big improvement ?

Question

I am a guy, and my skin is a bit...well...pale. Do you think being tan makes a huge improvement?

Also, how do you get tan? It seems like there are quite a few people more tan than me, but I don't know why. I do spend a lot of time at the computer and not much time outside. Still, I don't see other people just frolicking around outside. What can you really do outside anyway (as an adult; no playing tag)? I guess most people just get fake tans...

Answer 1

well it depends where you live; if you live in a warmer area next to an ocean, river or lake then you can go swimming and get sun that way. other than that youre just gonna have to run around with a shirt off outside for a while, and it wont happen in one day.

it also depends what genes you inherited; look at your parents' skin colors.

Answer 2

Some people tan more naturally than others. I have a friend that gets tan early in the summer and stays tan nearly all winter. I have to work at it, burn a little, and then it's gone by October.

I think a guy with a tan looks much better than a guy without.

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

i like pale scrawny guys  

Answer 5

I'm a guy, and the summer time is great, especially because you can get a nice tan.  I don't go out tanning, or go to a salon, that's very unnecessary.  I get a little darker through small things, like summer reading on the porch, or going to the beach a lot, or just activities like lawn mowing.  It isn't too hard, but don't worry over such a trivial matter.  

Answer 6

well one, sitting at ur computer wont do, i get mine cause iam a really outdoorsy person but for me the chicks dig my farmers tan(yes i am a redneck)chicks dig that, but just go for a walk during the day, walk the dog, or just do some yard work

Answer 7

Go into a tanning salon and you can get the tan as you desire it.

Answer 8

I'm naturally really pale, but I'm also someone who tans, not burns.

I'm in front of the computer a lot too, I'd tan because I was biking over to someone's house.

People with full-on tans, enough to make them look different - they probably got it done at a tanning salon or they laid outside on their lawn/beach.

I tan over the summer. >___<;

My pale skin looks better...

Personally, a tan that makes a big-difference always makes me think of skin cancer...
