    Tanning

    In my goal of turning WHT into a bunch of metrosexuals, I must know, how many of us go tanning?

    At this point, I only know of three (including myself), and one is a girl. The other is still in the closet and uses his gym membership only for the tanning beds.

    I go tanning, when I'm on my tractor or cutting the grass, or fishing on my boat.

    Farmer's tan, what real men have. Dark brown arms, white bellies.

    Gyms are for weight training and oggling hot chicks, tanning is for strippers

    Ha, great quote!

    I haven't been to a tanning booth in years. I do get a tan playing tennis and sailing, but that's never my first priority..

    hehe. That sounds like the Builder's tan. I make it worse by wearing knee straps, and I now have these nice site patches around my knees, with tanned legs.

    I go tanning. The exact comment I get from my friends are "You're so metro." But that's not a bad thing. I am what I am.
    It's because we're better looking and they're jealous.

    I like to lay out side with some tanning lotion and catch some rays...which I plan do in about 20 minutes but I don't go to tanning beds.

    If you would even out the white belly with your arm colors you might be able to hook up with one of those hot chicks your ogling at the gym!

    Ah the gym mirror...helps you keep your form but more importantly helps you check out hot girls!

    I have always had a natural tan, so no need to go tanning nor lay outside in the sun for hours. Although when I do take the opportunity to enjoy the sun, I tan very easily.

    I have only ever been sun burnt once, and that happened to be on top of a mountain due to the reflection from the snow.

    Tanning beds are really bad for you. It increases your risk for skin cancers, and tanning in general, makes you age a lot worse. You will look a lot older than you are after a while. (You get really wrinkly and disgusting). I suppose you could fix that with a facelift, but then that's really beyond metro. <<< Removed >>>

    i have naturally tanned skin

    Dave: So, how dark do you wanna be? We have 1, 2 or 3.
    Ross: Well, uh, I like how you look. What are you?
    Dave: Puerto Rican

    a bit like that
    <erno> hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.

    I think we should take this one step further, lets take the chance while we have it and be as sad as can be! Lets compare tans! Take a photo of your arm, and attempt to be crowned the tan King or Queen.

    I thought you may say that Tyler. My camera has been on overload this week, give me an hour and I'll mentally prepare myself to be officially, the sadest person of the week.

    I'm wondering the same thing - I thought his/her account had been disabled.

    I make sure I get my tan from the sun...I like to spend hours in the sun. It burn my skin.
    The worse part is...when we are older, we will pay the price for frying our skin.

    The rays that it sends out are harmful to your body. They increase your risk of developing skin cancer, and like others have said, it certainly does not help you to age very well.
