Tanning

[ZECH]

I have a Tanning bed in my basement.

I wouldn't pay for something like a tan. You can get one of those for free if you take advantage of the sun! Unfortunately, I live in Maine so the sun doesn't do me much good half the year when it's cold. This time of year I'm pasty white, but I don't really care because so is everyone else up here.

I believe tanning beds are for women................

About tanning being good for you, I read some were that if you are exposed to the sun for 20 minutes a day almost naked it would raise your test levels.

You think that would really work.

UVA and UVB are exactly what triggers the tanning effect, the only filtration is UVC. The percentages that you receive depends on the lamp manufacturer, some people prefer one lamp to another (aka bulb).

If you decide to do it get yourself skin typed first. You should never be burning or peeling. Its recommended we go outside with SPF 45 on our faces every day though, much less crawl under 3000 watts of artificial UVA/B.

I wonder if this applies to people of color? I tan Six weeks out from every show 3 times a week in a lay down bed and 1 week out twice stand up. I use maximum time and excellerator and I've done for three years now. I've tried less amounts less times but does nothing for me. I can be out in the sun all day and only turn a reddish brown really weird. Maybe its genetic. I've never been burned and I even amaze the people @ the salons.

Yeah I'd prefer to not pay for my skin cancer, especially since I'm fair skinned and moley. Getting tans in the winter just looks stupid. I prefer not to be a faker-baker.

My veiw is that tanning beds are for women, homos, and metro's, real men dont go to tanning beds, tanning will occur as an accident by being outside. lift big.

 

[Doublebase]

My girl is paying for me to get a spray tan so I'm gonna take her up on that.

 

[keelo1086]

my prom date is making me go tanning. I don't know it seems kind of gay but whatever. I'm pretty pasty though (irish skin). I would never go into a tanning place by myself though, it just seems too gay, i have to be offset by a girl

 

[GFR]

I'm not gay so I don't go to tanning salons

No, you get your gay fix at the "special" brothels.

To say it's gay to go tanning....I don't understand ur reasoning...Almost like saying wearing nice clothes and getting a good haircut and clipping ur finger nails is gay too...Being pasty white just doesn't look good...and if ur a BBer then you can't afford to be pale...We have tanning beds at my gym and after a workout it's really relaxing to lay in the bed and go to sleep. And it helps with my complexion as well...specially when I'm on cycle. I'm pretty metro....but it's not about me staring in the mirror for love of myself..but looking as good as I can to make the best possible first impression when meeting girls.

It all goes back to how superficial you are, really. I really don't care how I look. I know there aren't many people who can honestly say that, but I'm one of them. If someone disagrees, that's great. That person has every right. But it can't be denied that it all goes back to superficiality in the end. At least I don't see a way that it can really be denied anyways.

 

[DOMS]

So, I guess you wear green slacks with a pink shirt then? You color coordinate? That's so superficial...

It's all a mater of degrees.

Do I like it when chicks check out my ass? Damn straight, but they are not my primary motivation for bodybuilding. Few, in any, things a person does are done for just one reason.

 

[mrmark]

I would tan if there was no risk of cancer. Until the 'tan in a bottle' is perfected and longer lasting, I think i'll keep my pale white skin the same colour.

Sometimes.

Actually that is caring how you look. That's going agains the grain to get attention. Completely different idea. I disagree with your last statement. I bet there are many, many people who do many, many things for a single reason. I can't think of a reason other than superficiality that girls wear make up, for example. This should be fun...

Most people have a mental picture of themselves. Normal people try to realize this picture, even if it's not healthy. That mental picture is created from a variety of sources (both internal and external). This is basic psychology

ONLY prior to competition.

And I'm simply saying that I don't try to change myself in any superficial way because I don't have a clearly defined mental image of myself (at least not in pictoral form), and therefore I have nothing towards which to strive in such a manner. I'm definitely not disagreeing that most people try to improve themselves aesthetically though.

 

[ironman512]

As you live in the UK it's understandable. The sun only comes out once every three years


HAHAHHA

Everyone has a self-image. Even if they don't realize it.

 

[wetnwild]

I'm not gay so I don't go to tanning salons

Don't lie. I know you work in a tanning saloon, how else can you spend so much time on the net?

 

[prestone818]

nothing beats natural sunlight.... running, tennis, fishing, beach anything outside.

and btw my former gf worked at a tanning salon and i observed this...about 70% women, 20% homos, 10% straight

just observations on the men really... But when someone shows up and says " Hey darling do you like my kewl thcooter" i tend to put them in the homo class..
