    Would any of you guys put on fake tan?

    I'd consider it if I was on a sun holiday as I burn easy and so cant be bothered to sit out in the sun but I hate being so pail on holidays when everyone else seems to have a tan.

    What do the girls think about a guy putting on fake tan?

    no. its double standards but no..

    a friend of mine used to burn easily on holidays so i suggested he try a sunbed before he went.. he started on it for only 5 mins gradually building it up and he got a colour on holidays.. not vanity as such with him, just he was sick of burning and burning on hols..

    Do they? Do you think so? Really? Maybe if I put on some fake tan over them it might have a slimming effect?

    To be honest it would look as gay as christmas in san fran(not that theres anything wrong with being gay) but people would either think ure gay and vain or just vain.

    People questioned my sexuality because i own a pair of hairstraightners. I have long hair for god sake.

    Well I don’t think I would use fake tan. I don’t think id be able to buy it in the shop out of embarrassment and I think I'd put it on wrong and have big finger streaks all over me.

    I'd never put my lips anywhere near skin with fake tan on it. Orange women are missing out...

    I'm not so sure Lainey. I mean if you see women in ireland walking around with tans in April you really have to wonder how they got it?

    But most girls with any bit of sense make sure that it's subtle -- Less is more....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 197 ✭✭PersonalJesus


    Well if less is more.......

    How about none at all?

    Bloody wimin who knows how there minds work. Pink things and kittens etc

    Hey, chlorine removes fake tan.
    That's why I always avoid swimming pools on holiday cos all my effort from the night before dissappears immediately.

    It's even mentioned on one of the fake tan websites, can't remember which one.

    And for you guys out there who moan about it:

    Please understand that some of us CAN NOT tan naturally, no matter what. Physical impossibility. Some of us have been teased to death about our pale skin and freckles. So fake tan is a god-send to some of us, cos it is the only way we will EVER get a tan............. and not appear the usual blue colour

    True enough. Its nice to tone down the bottle milk white skin a little. It looks healthier. I really think most men would not be able to spot a subtle bit of colour.

    You know, you could just stand up for yourself and be happy with your appearance, and not give in to such teasing...

    Also, red-heads freckle. Tan with red hair is unnatural and replusive to me.

    Very true - most of them wouldn't notice anyway ....... MEN .... they really don't have a clue about what it takes for girls to get ready for a big night out..

    We do ...... I'm just saying that guys can't really tell when we have it on ... well that's if its done right (& yes there have been a lot of mistakes by girls). But most girls are quiet good at putting it on so you wouldnt even notice that is fake

    Everyone likes to look nice ... it makes you feel good about yourself. Even if we do want to look good for men what's the problem? It's called going on the Pull?

    I asked earlier in this thread why do we go to all this trouble? I've been thinking about it and I realise that I actually like getting dressed up for a night out. I like the actual getting ready part. I like going out with the feeling that I look good. I feel better about myself and have more confidence. It's not all the make-up etc. that attracts men (if I do) it's the confidence in yourself and you being in a good mood that shines through.

    Exactly.... behind it all we really do it for ourselves &if it helps to pull mores the better
