Your thoughts on a guy using fake tan?

[Sawyer]

Ok, here's a funny one for you. I just wondered what people's opinions are on fake tan, and in particular, a guy using fake tan. I'm a straight guy here (not being stereotypical or anything) and have just started using a little bit of fake tan. I feel alot better for it and defiantely alot more confident. But I was curious to know what other people think.

Definately not using it to the point of orange-ness but people have noticed and said I look 'tanned' which is obviously the effect I wanted. But there seems to be a stigma attached to it and in particular, a guy using it.

[Marsh.]

I hate fake tan full stop (guy, girl or alien). But if you're using it "normally" and not making yourself look abnormally orange then I don't see any harm.

Well they shouldn't, they should be rough, guff and handsome. They should spend less time groooming themselves and more time wrestling bears.

[Sam:)]

Find it abit of a turn off, like most girls are either doing it wrong or something is wrong with fake tan. I personally wouldnt wear fake tan, I dont know any guy that does either

Maybe it's just not right coz I don't live in essex.... (I hate that show btw)

[mizzy25]

nothing wrong with it, if its good enough for peter andre its good enough for any guy and if it makes you feel good and look a little better then why not?

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

maybe you are gay and just havent accepted it yet

[Livia]

I don't really go for men who spend more time in front of a mirror than I do.

I use fake tan fairly regularly (bronzer at the moment actually). Who cares what other people think, if you feel better for it that's all that matters. I certainly prefer looking ever so slightly tanned (I rarely even go that far) than my normal ill pale look.

There's a misconception that everybody who uses it ends up looking orange. If you're using it right people shouldn't even be able to tell.

Could've sworn I pressed 'post' when I wrote a reply to this thread...

Can't be bothered typing it all again, but in brief - don't comply with or be led into believing stereotypes. They're pointless generalisations with no merit.

All you have to ask is, who came up with this unwritten rule that men can't wear fake tan?

[Kizzy]

Its fine, much more safe than a sunbed and if you like it brill! :)

[Sawyer]

maybe you are gay and just havent accepted it yet

That's very narrow minded... and a little bit immature. I'm straight and comfortable with that, you however...

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

ME HOWEVER WHAT?!

you tryna say im some kinda sissy

You (and and a few others in this thread) are the kind of open minded people I like and can obviously write a post that is longer than one syllable haha. Thanks mate for an honest opinion.

[Vanessa]

I don't mind as long as they don't overdo it. Orange is never attractive! :hugesmile:

[Vicky.]

Calm down scott. Step away from the handbag :pipe:

[Tom4784]

Scott gay? NEVER

He spends his weekends rescuing villages from bandits and then ravishing their grateful maidens as his reward.

And no I'm not, Im just saying that if you feel the need to go round insisting someone is gay then perhaps you're not comfortable with who you are :)

I use fake tan all the time. If you like wearing it and it gives you confidence then who cares what anyone else thinks :amazed:

[Josy]

I don't like fake tan at all on both men and women, but each to their own.

[Niall]

[Marc]

Looks silly IMO

Well when it's like ridiculous

[GypsyGoth]

I think if you are going to use it, just make sure you don't put on too much.

And if it doesn't damage your skin and gives you more confidence, then I think it's a good thing for you.

[InOne]

Ties in with all that metrosexual bollocks we have going on these days

*shakes head*

[Marc]

Where's Patrick...

[Patrick]

I wrote a massive ******ing essay on how it's fine for guys to wear fake tan etc earlier on, went to post it and this silly ******ing forum said the thread had been deleted. So whatever.

But yes, it's fine.

[Patrick]

And Marc, I don't wear fake tan :laugh: Infact I only wore it for the first time in my life 4 weeks ago actually.

[Saph]

Im surprised some people still have that "men are tough, women are pretty, men like cars, women like dolls" state of mind :conf:

[Jesus.]

Pale girls kick ass. You can't beat classical beauty.

[Bollo]

Not keen on fake tan in general on anyone..pale is definately more interesting

[Niamh.]

hhhmmm, I wouldn't be a fan of a man using fake tan tbh, it's just not very manly :laugh: That is slightly sexist I know but I like men who are manly

[MTVN]

I've never worn it but I don't see a problem with it, I think it looks good on girls too (within reason)

[Jordan.]

I use fake tan all the time. If you like wearing it and it gives you confidence then who cares what anyone else thinks :amazed:

I always thought you were black

[Black Dagger]

Meh, I think some guys are hot when they wear fake-tan but if they are going to be overly orange, it's disgusting.

[mizzy25]

i cant understand why people think a man isnt manly because he wears fake tan. just look @ peter andres body (sorry i dont know how to post pics) and as i said before he wears it infact he advertises it.nowt worse than a very pale pasty looking man or woman in my opinion. i would be very grateful if someone could post a pic of say a tanned peter andre and a pasty pale looking celebrity and see which one we thinks looks the best.

Shallowness is thy name.

There is nothing "wrong" with fake tan, but people are different and like different things, and ideals. I love me some pale skinned beauties over plastic and tanned every day of the week.

Different strokes, for different folks.

Peter Andre? -shudders-

[mizzy25]

well i still cant understand how a man isnt manly if he wears fake tan. i personaly think it looks better than pale and pasty so i say go for it. if i could put it on properly without it streaking i would wear it.

Being a nail polish rocking gypsy I have no problem with guys indulging in heavy self imagery. My problem with fake tan though is in the name. Fake. You're covering yourself up and making your skin something it's not so women will look at you and hopefully put stock in a tanned image that isn't even real.

Okay so my nails aren't black in reality either [electric blue for those Saturday nights on the town] but that isn't me trying to cover something up or accentuate a positive I don't have. On the contrary it vastly narrows my choice of women down to those who are as hopelessly drunk and bisexual as I am.

So yeah. Hur hur. GHEYYYYYYYYYY!

[arista]

"hopelessly drunk"

But Still posting on TIBB.

[thesheriff443]

bisexual is another word for greedy.lol

What on gods earth do you do to yourself then??

[Kizzy]

Aaaahhhh bisto....

[joeysteele]

I personally would not use it, I don't see anything wrong in a guy using it though if he wants to,as with most other things.

[joeysteele]

I am not bothered whether I look tanned or not anyway.

Hence why I use bronzer :pipe:

But it's no different to women making their skin something it's not via make-up, and it's barely even close to that extent in most cases, it's just slightly darkening the skin opposed to covering things up (other than the paleness).


I haven't used bronzer/fake tan in a while actually. Don't seem to need it with my hair long.

[Kizzy]

Its a slippery slope...whats next guyliner?....

No contest!




If it makes someone happy and they don't look completely overdone and OTT - makes no difference to me at all. If they wear it and it looks hellish: they look hellish. if they wear it and it's natural looking, which many are these days: good for them.

I wear make up/ lippy, mascara etc because it makes me feel good, makes me look (a goodamn sight better too!) - If guys want to enhance that feeling with a natural looking fake tan (or not!!), it bothers me not a jot.

Big Brother 2012 host Brian Dowling has been told to look “less Essex” for the new series.

Speaking at the show’s press launch this week, Brian revealed: “They are changing the look this year.

“They said, ‘You looked really brown.’ So I have been told to be less Essex, more Chelsea.

Well i think it's smarter to use fake tan than to ruin yur skin with a real tan, but i think in general people should just be happy with their natural skin tone.

White is Wonderful and Black is Beautiful. just be happy with what you've got.
