I adore pale skin. If a guy has dark hair, and pale skin with good blood circulation, that's so sexy.


You look good with the new hairdo.


Thanks Hale! :)


I forgot to mention I love dark skin too. What everyone's saying about keeping it natural is so true.

I can't really say that I find tanned skin to be more attractive. It depends, really. I found myself attracted to a red-haired girl for a while, and a huge factor in why I fancied her was her pale skin, because it was both in contrast to her hair and my own skin. While I do consider myself more caucasian than sino-asian in apperance, I do get very dark when I get a tan, and it happens in a matter of one or two days. Was more so when I was younger, now my body-hair prevents me from getting too dark too quickly. Interestingly, though, is that my hair gets noticably brighter - as in blonder - while my skin gets really dark. One of the reasons I prevent getting a tan is that, I just look stupid(er) with brighter blond hair and dark skin.

Muscle definition/tone is much more noticeable if the person is tan. I'm surprised nobody mentioned this yet.


It does, unfortunately for me, since I tend to be pale. I've known a few female coworkers who were heavy-set and went to tanning salons a lot because they thought it made them look slimmer, too. Really seems like a shame, though, to have a greater risk of developing cancer as it is, due to a high BMI, and then create a greater risk of getting skin cancer for yourself from spending time in tanning booths.


Tanning booths are so bad.. :s


i literally lectured a girl at work about using a sunbed during her lunch break last week. i could tell on the inside she was thinking 'beats looking like you' haha
i have never felt so old.

True. When you're young, you just look like an overcooked chicken,
but that translates into, in later years, having a face that looks like an old leather shoe.

commoners are tanned, because they work in the field.

royalty is pale. because they work on computers.

As it happens I'm of part Lebanese descent myself, so somewhat naturally tanned. What I really meant is while I actually think tanned colour skin looks nice, it's pale white skin on women I find sexy (which is different from looking 'nice'), which is probably a weird niche :lol: Never used to.
