would have thought biking in a thong would have cured that

Hehe...I was getting tired of paying the "indecent exposure" tickets. :p

Seriously, the tanlines on my legs and arms look like someone put masking tape around them and spraypainted me out to my fingers/toes. I look like a box of Neapolitan ice cream at the beach. :eek:

Yes, because that "I do nothing but sit on my ass, outdoor activities are for whimps" white look is really healthy looking.

So go outside and actually do some outdoor activities?

I dunno, every time I see a white guy with a tan in the wintertime, I immediately think effeminate douchebag. Why don't you just go the full nine and get your eyebrows plucked and start wearing facial masks at night while you're at it?

Don't forget the pedicure and bikini waxing, you big silly!

Maybe they ARE going out side and doing activties...just in another hemisphere. Tanning and building a base is a good way to prevent you from nuking yourself in a tropical location if you take a winter vacation to such place.

Obviously the OP had different reasons for his tanning, but there are still merits for wanting to tan.

I do it because I look kind of freaky with blue veins all over if I don't have a bit of color. I don't go dark, just a bit of color so my skin isn't see-through.

BTW, at 6', 195 lbs and 18.5" arms, I doubt the first thing that would come to your mind about me is "effeminate douchebag."

Maybe if you'd lay off the roids your veins wouldn't be popping out all over the place? ;)

size really has nothing to do with it either.

"Is that what a man looks like?"
"Self-improvement is masturbation.... now self-destruction....."

If I was doing 'roids, I wouldn't be a measly 195lbs, I can tell you that much.

And I beg to differ, size has everything to do with whether or not a man can look like an "effeminate douchebag" or not.
