    Plenty of men have been for years. Not my cup of tea but I didn't really think this or the guy liner counted as something new.

    I don't know any man who wears fake-tan, but I do know a ginger fella who goes on the sunbed for the winter.

    I wind him up about them all the time, the sunbed and being ginger!

    Dont think the sunbed is a wise thing to do for gingers higher risk of Melanoma along with freckles.
    A lot of Rugby players seem to be taking after Gavin Henson with the bronze look,(even doh he was taking it a bit too far) for me i think the sunbed is ok as long as your not using it everyday ;)

    Q: Are men starting to wear fake tan ???
    A: No, its been going on for ages. Its part of that whole metrosexuality thing.

    Though blokes are generally worse at putting it on. While with girls you can usually see the line just where it hits their chins and stops suddenly, so their face and neck are completly different colors, sometimes you see guys whove missed major areas.

    Sometimes in a pub in Dublin City Center, you can get in alot of trouble singing Oompa Loompa.

    Think they're a bit on the extreme side of it.

    I used it a few years ago, that Johnsons Holiday sun, before going away on holidays, just to get the tan started also tried a sun bed. Didn't have a problem using it but definetly didn't want to end up looking like an Umpa Lumpa.

    Jesus H. Christ I knew this was coming.

    Remember when men didn't use moisturiser and our skin didn't fall off? Now guys aren't even embarrassed about using it. All it took was a few nivea ad campaigns and idiots are shelling out

    Foundation/make up will be next. Of course maybelline would love to double their profits. Then we'll be in the awful situation women face where they're basically forced into wearing make up because the rest of the competition are all wearing it.

    I urge thee fellow gentlemen not to fall into this trap.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,566 ✭✭✭Gillo


    Point taken our skin didn't fall off, but it does feel a lot better now:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 452 ✭✭Diapason


    Wait until they figure out a way to persuade us to use tampons.

    Never have,never will.If a bloke wants to moisturise cos he's feeling a bit craggy then so be it however for the whole guido fake tan/sun bed look,they deserve a slap in the head.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,731 ✭✭✭✭entropi


    Referring to the above pictures: Guidos are an American thing...it wont catch on over here.

    I do know two/three lads who have worn it a bit yeah, they live in my area. A few do sunbeds too, and not for skin problems either, but purely for that Cristiano Ronaldo look of a perma-tan...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,558 ✭✭✭kaiser sauze


    My name is kaiser sauze and I moisturise daily, sometimes twice a day! :eek:

    Never have,never will.If a bloke wants to moisturise fake tan cos he's looking a bit craggy pale then so be it however for the whole guido fake tan/sun bed concealer/eyeshadow look,they deserve a slap in the head.

    It's coming.

    I'm obviously not metrosexual enough yet, I had to look them up.

    A gay friend of mine does wear them, and that's right here in Ireland!

    Over here, (down under) guys wear uggs all the time. They were around for 80 years before they became a fashion item.

    Nothing wrong with guys wearing Ugg boots. (as long as they're not sparkly ones with tassles)

    anyway if your dry skin includes dry lips I dont reccomend e45 for the lips. Carmexis the way to go I picked some up yesterday and in one day my lips are pretty soft!! its amazing stuff


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,670 ✭✭✭✭Wolfe Tone


    I actually found e45 works really well on lips.

    really ?? my lips would sting after, but of course you are a man and as a man you are tough and immune to things like stinging lips. :)
