Whats the significance of a suntan?

A suntan allows you to hang out with the cool kids, everyone knows that apart from the nerds.

Who are too busy advancing society, including sun-tan advances.

Funny really.

On holiday I saw the most tanned man in the world, I wanted to take a picture of the guy but couldn't slyly enough. I can't even put into works how ridiculous this guy looked.

Some people forget there is a limit at which point you go from looking great to absurd.

Example...

I really laughed at that as i can just imagine the kind of prat your talking about.

Well, we would thank you for it, but were too busy looking awesome.

its hilarious seeing all the girls in korea cover up their skin AT ALL COSTS when the suns out...and theres skin whitening stuff in pretty much everything. Dark is bad.

I have a tan and I look better than I do when I don't have a tan. I like being in the sun. It's nice. I don't like having to whop loads of ****ing sunblock on. Problem?

Unlucky that you can't tan, enjoy being a pastyface.

When you've tanned enough to go a shade that is best described as mahogany then you need psychological help.

i like to be tanned though due to the british weather, i don't get much chance. my rear garden is a great sun trap and i'll grab some sun as much as i can when the weather's nice. i also find i get a nice buzz from the vitamin d and i have only gone overboard and peeled once.

Nice!!! Just as well all my friends are real people who mainly judge on personality!!

I like to keep a nice balance. With being outside a fair bit in the garden and so on I have the tanned head & arms and the rest of me is white.

Must admit I prefer to have a bit of colour about me but I go to lengths not to get burned, happened when I was young and stupid and I swore never again.

I am just stating a fact, most people judge with their eyes first, just like they eat with their eyes first. What i said is not incorrect to a large degree, people observe and judge.

You're still confusing the cause with the excuse, and coming across as a victim-blaming git in the process.

I have a tan for over 7 months of the year as a result of being outside a lot with my dog/garden. I look healthy, like the feel of the sun on my face, and love the natural vitamin D!

What made it worse was he was an older gentlemen and had white hair with a white tache which made the conflict between hair and skin even worse.

Think Dick Van Dyk in Diagnosis Murder but with a tan like the woman pictured on the page before.

Just be careful else by the time you're 60 you'll look like a battered old leather shoe.

A battered old leather shoe that's been thrown down mount Everest, chewed on by several tigers, dragged through the Mojave desert, took a dip in Chernobyl's reactor pool and soaked with H2SO4.

I wish I could have a pound for every person I have seen go this way.

Id rather look a bit older, wrinkly and brown than someone who is pale as a ghost and looks like they are about to die

Too many times ive seen people who are already pale and after drinking and whatever look like they have been drained of all colour. Zombie look isn't good!

Yeah when I was on holiday a few weeks ago I saw plenty of these, still sitting out in the sun with their vegetable oil on though not realizing that being tanned is all very well until you look like a Shar Pei.

Yes, just get out in the sun in the day but don't lie around in it all the time, or crisp away on sunbeds etc (or were you being :rolleyes:

)
