Ok, so while I was visiting some people in the northeast (and this fact will make a lot of sense in a second) I came to find out that a number of friends and aquaintances go to tanning salons (yes, even in the summer). Now, don't get me wrong, I don't wanna be the pale guy on the beach or even the guy with just brown arms but a TANNING SALON?! You're a fucking MAN for christ sakes! Well now you know my opinion on the matter. What's yours? Poll coming.


ETA: if there were a way to add another poll response how does "If it gets me more pie, who cares if it seems gay?" sound?

Tanning is for fags.  Get your tan like a real man, work outside.

What's wrong with a farmers' tan (just brown arms)?

I don't even like it when WOMEN go to tanning salons.  Those things just turn your skin orange.  It looks unnatural and fake...  Here's a novel idea:  GO OUTSIDE WHEN IT'S SUNNY!  IT'S FREE!

I like a good tan on a man, but I think it's a little weird from a tanning bed.  If you can't get out in the sun, don't fake bake.

Oh, and IBTP.

absolutely nothing wrong. As a matter of fact when I go on a beach vacation I arrive there with my brown armed farmers tan.

intentional tanning like laying on a towel is gay.
working or day at the beach with your dog is not gay

My tan is a factory option.  

That said, I see little utility in going to a tanning salon.  The shore is a scant 1.5 hour drive away.  Get it the real way instead of spending time in a fluorescent lighted sarcophagus.

I have no problem staying tan. my natural color is dark than most of you white-folk, so no problems here. I have a wicked Farmers tan though from working all day in the sun every day.

So hitting a tanning bed a couple times a month because I work nights 5 or 6 days a week, and it cures a skin condition for me.. that's faggoty?

No kidding.   I've already had the backs of my hands cut up. I wish I could find a 100% sun block, I still tan thru sp45 Coppertone.

funny you should say that, but I push a pen every day.  The ony time I see the sun is when I wake up and drive into work.  Just happens to rain most weekends for some reason.  And if you all like the high class girly women you got to make yourself known.  Books are judged by the cover every day!  Sorry I do but the quality of pie I have had and have is so worth staying up on things like this.  Infact I have an appointment tonight after work.  

Not gay by no means I just like the high end women!  Sorry!

Wait...I'm insecure because YOU tan?  

If it cures a skin condition (aside from color) , that is entirely different.  However, for the other 97% of people that use tanning beds, it is simply for vanity.  And that, friend...is faggoty.

ABSOLUTELY. If it is working for getting you more pie it can't be THAT gay. With my work, I'm both a "pencil pusher" and someone who spends enough time outside so I can totally sympathize with this. I was just completely unaware how prevalent it was (especially amongst people I knew). Basically, if you never see the sun, and having a tan equals an increas in pie for the fiscal year, ya might as well get it done in a booth. It just makes no sense in the south, thats all.

I just never understood how one activity, regardless of context, could be called gay out of hand.

Unless it is, of course, a man interacting with another man's penis in a sexual manner. That qualifies.

A LOT of people use tanning salons in Miami - mostly professionals that are too busy to make it to the beach as much as they would like.  I used to go to one in Doral (small upper end town in Miami) that was down the street from a major Spanish TV broadcasting channel and I would see a lot of the stars in there all of the time.  The strippers, female of course, were fun to watch as well.
