Being tan is better than being pale, amirite?

No thanks; I'll keep my younger-looking, smooth, cancer-free skin. Have fun with that leatherface, it's really sexy.

Wow did I say fake tan anywhere in there..?

No, it is not. No skin color is inferior to another. If we're talking about natural skin color and not tanning due to exposure to UVB rays, you're basically saying that one ethnicity or national origin is better than another. My tan German friend is not better than me because I'm pale white and Norwegian. Besides, pale skin is pretty. (:

I'm pale and get called names all the time, I would say being tan is better but who likes cancer and looking old at the age of 30?

NATURALLY TAN PEOPLE REPRESENT! :D

First of all, not all tan people will get cancer..some people (including me) were born tan, so keep that in mind. But I don't see why people think tan people are prettier/"hotter" than pale people. I think both are fine. I do like being tan though.

I would actually prefer a slightly pale girlfriend than a overly tanned near-Mexican one.

Well, I don't want a brown one from tanning, but there's no denying that Central American girls are very good looking.

Meh, I like white girls. P.S. That's not racist, you tend to be attracted to those like people you grew up with. I.E. White girls.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yeah, well of course I do, I'm just saying, the hottest would be a Latino, in my opinion.

of course not that there's anything wrong with Mexican girls

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yeah, it's just when they tan so that they're as dark as Mexican girls, spay tan or not.

Orange vs. natural?

Only if you mean naturally

When I YYA'd this, I was thinking a natural tan (as in, were born with it). I think that's prettier, but any UVB ray based tan definitely isn't worth it.

I am very pale. I like being pale WAY more than when I was tan. Besides, I would rather look younger. I don't think naturally tan skin is bad, this is just my preference. (:

I have naturally tan skin. D: I think natural is nice, but if it's spray tan or UV light tan, then noooo.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Obviously people who are pale (regardless of race) will try and defend pale skin, but I'd rather take a tan complexion naturally over a pale, sickly looking complexion any day.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Pale skin doesn't necessarily have to make you look sickly. You can have a fair and beautiful pale complexion just like you can have a beautiful golden and tan skin tone (as opposed to a creepy orange tan).

orange skin is not beter than pail skin

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Depends- do you mean plastic pail skin, metal pail skin, or wooden pail skin?

I am a swimmer, so naturally I have a pretty deep tan. In my opinion, a really pale skin-tone s my opinion, but that might be because I am around lots of tan people. (I am a swimmer in California, after all.)

I think the upside to having naturally tan skin is that you don't burn as easily. I'm pretty pale, and I get burnt from sitting outside at lunchtime.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

If I could have chosen, I would have been tan instead of pale.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I think tan is more attractive because it means the person actually goes outside pretty often. People who are pasty white because of lack of sun are not attractive.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

No preference.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I don't really care which one. I'm pale, and I'm fine with it, and I wouldn't care if I was tan.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I feel like you cant say one is more attractive than the other. As long as its natural it looks good. If its a fake tan, then no its not more attractive than anything because looking like an oopma loompa is never a good look.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Tans are better if you're talking about a natural tan or a not to dark, good spray tan(they do exist) because you don't look leathery more sunkissed or golden. Pale skin imo is ugly and sickly looking if you're too pale, although Some pale skin looks allright if it's basically neutral/almost pale. But I'm not talking Edward Cullen lookin' shit. This is coming from a pale person

imm really tan, and I love my skin but somtimes I think pale looks better

by Anonymous 13 years ago

LOL it's funny the girls saying pale is prettier and tanned people are gunna get cancer. Pretty sure fair skin is more prone to getting damaged, I'm proud I can sit outside for lunch and not get fucking burned & and become a lobster. Natural sunkissed tans, those are gorgeous. Any guy would agree lol. People are so close minded, asians like pale because it gives a look of innocence and purity. Tanned just looks good, face the facts jealous bitches. <3 ;)

Asians actually like being pale because back then it was a symbol of wealth.
