Don't do it, man! You'll look like Dale Winton!

It is common for girls to wear it. Not 'common' in a good way, either.

End of day, be proud to be pale!
Keep away from the fake tan.. it may look glossy and tempting, But it is extremely very good chance of looking like you've been tango'ed.

No.... listen, listen to me.
Fake tan is difficult to apply properly thats the only problem.
I know heaps of straight guys that use fake tan! They look pretty damn good for it.
my mate Jay uses tan wipes because tan cream spray or mousse whatever often goes streaky and stays dark on the dry patches of your skin.
If you are going to do it then moisturise first (and if you dare, exfoliate 24 hours before you do it!! it makes a huge difference as it will smooth your skin) & it reduces streaking.
If you are pale then make sure you only use a light coloured one, or even a tinted moisturiser, which gradually makes you tanned and doesn't streak.

Hmm that is a thought..
But If its between fake tan, and some god awful Tanning bed.. Go with the fake. Although careful with your hands.. I helped put some on my mate once, and my hands were like Orange things.
Any unnatural tan is just ugly. Hell, even excessive natural tanning is ugly.
If you really think you'd look better with a tan, I suggest waiting until it's sunny so that you can attempt to pass it off as natural lol :smile:
If I knew a guy wore fake tan I'd prob be rather disturbed, so it's prob best kept secret lol x

Well, i've had a fake spray tan, and i've had many compliments and friends who have now booked for one themselves!

However, i'm sorry to say i feel it is different for man & women. If applied properly, and the tan is of good quality and natural looking, fake tan can look lovely on women. Men UNFORTUNATELY is a different story.
There is a guy at the college i go to, who almost DEFINATELY wears fake tan and he looks, well just wrong!

I think in general, tans make people look healthy and nice, but as people say, it can look fake, nasty and streaky. It depends how much you're willing to pay; alot of money = natural looking tan which probably won't streak i.e spray tan

OR not alot of money = orangey, streaky VERY fake looking tan that just looks, eurgh!

So i'd say no - but it's up to you :rolleyes:
don't do it!!
im latin american with very dark indian loking complexion but i wear fake tan!

on white people, IN MODERATION i think most of them look nicer with a bit of tan, although some look really good with very very white skin.

i dont think the orange look is good on any race. but a slight tinge of orange, maybe a warm beige colour looks great. and i really like the way fake tan smooths out the imperfections in the skin like foundation

i say go for it, but maybe do say the upper thigh or somewhere that wont show so u can see what colour u ll go. AVOID orange, aim for NATURAL
