    Exclamation tanning

    do most of you guys tan after your done lifting. my gym has some tanning beds at the gym. so yesturday i got done lifting, went in to tan, and when i came out, i ran into one of my co-workers and she asked me why i was tanning, i said because it makes you look better, then she said, but your a guy. the next day at work she had apparently told some of the other co-workers and they wouldent shut up about it. why is it that people think this way.

    Ohh dude if you let that bother you then you will never be happy in life. People hate all the time, plus everyone has different views on what we do. To each is own, do what makes you happy, F*** all of them. I dont really tan b/c I was born pretty dark. But I"m sure if I was pale I'd tan occasionally.

    Then you have the people that smoke 2-3 packs a day and will tell you that tanning is bad. I HATE people like that!!!

    The tanning salon is one of the best places to pick up women. I've done it several times. Even had sex in one with a chick that worked there.

    i tan before so my sweat doesnt get baked onto my skin. but yeah forget them! we all know the benefits of a good tan, and how it makes you look way better. they wont have nothing to say when they see you with your shirt off and your looking all cut and defined while they look like elmers white glue!

    It doesn't just make you look better but also feel better, doctors now recognise S.A.D. Seasonal Affected Disorder which basically means you feel like shit in the winter through lack of sunshine, not just because sunny weather makes you happy but also your body needs it, I honestly believe that tanning counters this.
    I might just be kidding myself and it might just be the look better = feel better thing, either way if the end result is feeling happy then it's all good IMO.

    No, this is definitely true. They actually sell small desktop lamps for people with the condition.
    Tell your co-workers to kiss MY ass. If they like looking like pasty, white bread, doughboys that's their problem. I wouldn't even acknowledge them. I'm 35 and I still go tanning a couple days a week.

    i usually get me a nice big protein shake and take it right in there with me. its a fact, the darker you are, the more definition shows. don't worry about what people think.

    I started tanning when i was 15 still In high school - am now 28.

    Don't sweat it bro. Besides, what kind of person would make fun of someone for such things? For taking care of youself - wanting to look your best.

    I agree i am pretty dark i am italian so i have an olive color to me but still tan here and there. you need to go back and ask why is tanning just a woman thing and see how your co-worker responds. and just to let you know people are usually scared of what they know nothing about

    Welcome to heaven, if your young too, omg! I get so much it's almost unreal, hell I don't even look good and just in "decent" shape It's like a big buffet full of top quality. I own a body jewelry store too (sorry had to brag a little) and the belly and nose rings (wow)they wear.
