We call them a couple of metrosexuals. It really is funny to listen them talk about tanning & dieting.

Heh heh...there are a few Moeller grads at my gym who do the same thing. It's always hilarious to listen to them discussing their body fat percentage, diets, tans, and occasionally their softball swings. The opposite sex never seems to come up in their discussions...

I'm 1/8 Native American from the southeast (either Seminole or Creek) and the rest Anglo-Saxon. I used to tan pretty dark up in the summer until I was 21...that's when I went down to Shimoda Beach (southeast of Tokyo, and one of the few white sand beaches on mainland Japan) and layed out all day without any pre-tan (it was the first real sunny day of the summer and I had no base tan at all, had turned all pasty again over the winter). I got burnt so bad that I ended up having a bad case of the chills and shakes that evening and had this clear puss-like crap excreting from the skin of my nose...scared the fuck out of me. Ever since then my skin is very sensitive to the sun. I can eventually get a little tan, but it takes a lot of short-time exposures to do it without getting burned.

Just varying levels of darkness. By the end of the summer I'm black as the night.

Never been sunburned, though I think I might have been on spring break. There was a slight irritation on the back of my knee...didn't know what that was all about. Still though, doesn't matter the color of your skin, the risk for cancer is all the same. One of my brothers friends is black as coal and he got melanoma.

And if you're a dude and you use a tanning bed...you're not a dude. There are certain extenuating circumstances, like if you go on a cruise in the winter and you don't want to spend a week burning in misery, so you go work up a base tan at the tanning salon...I'd let that pass...barely.

Thanks to Irish ancestry, I burn like hell. I have to wear sunscreen all the time in the summer. Not worth the skin cancer.

Half Irish here and get tan as hell. I seem to be "black Irish." When I was in grade school I was always the second darkest kid coming back from summer vacation. The only kid who would be darker was 100% Italian.

I don't spend much time in the sun and if I am going to be in it for any period of time I use sunscreen.
