    I'll lay out if the sun is out and in need of a tan.

    I'm not afraid to admit that I go to a tanning bed regularly. I'm golden baby, golden!

    I am Indian so I am naturally brown but I like laying out when I am on vacation at beach. But I don't lay out in the back yard or anything.

    My mom hates when I come back and I am all crispy looking. Indian parents want you to be as light as possible.

    I'm naturally tanned but even if I wasn't I've never understood the obsession with it and would never do it.

    It's just silly

    Once it hits 85 degrees I'm always by the pool in the sun. Summer can't get here soon enough.

    As I am ultra ripped laying out can be hazardous ~ especially if there are members of the sky blue hat brigade roaming about.

    I never "lay out" for the purpose of tanning...I just love going to the pool in the summer with a good book and soaking up the warmth for an hour or so, then when I'm good and hot, jumping in the pool and doing a few laps.

    I NEVER tan, always burn, but after a week or so it turns into a nice tan.

    Do I think being tan is attractive? Sure. There's nothing wrong with being pasty though. I'm pasty throughout the fall, winter and spring. I get really dark when I swim a lot though.

    I don't lay out and tan but I do get tan when I go outside to swim and such. I really need the tan though cuz I'm kinda pale if I don't.

    why is it better? for me looks. just my opinion but i much rather have a nice tan. i got a really perfect tan before my prom and i must say ppl noticed. a lot of my friends made comments saying i looked much better. so for me its also a confidence booster now

    I don't lay in the sun trying to get a tan. I get bored.

    If i work outside i might take my shirt off, but that is because i don't want sweat on my clothes.

    I had a Melanoma removed 6 years ago and, so I am very cautious when in the sun.

    I believe that added exposure to those rays advance the skins aging. Some love the way you feel after it, but I'll pass in order to live longer, Thank You.
