What do men think of tanned skin?

Have noticed on here that some people have mentioned liking pale skin on girls. This has got me thinking because I always assumed that men (or in fact women) preferred tanned skin to pale skin. Of course Im speaking of caucasian people...... Sometimes I put fake tan on to give me a bit of colour but I dont like the whole "orange" thing.Also I sunbathe but not a lot, tho my skin wil get a little darker in the sun on its own. Now Im wondering if its worth the fuss as a lot of people seem to think pale skin is nicer. Would be nice to hear anyones views, male or female and any race/colour... thanks... I guess summing it up, is it normal to try and have a tanned look than just leave your skin natural..

    Some guys like pale some like them tanned. So i say just stick to whatever colour god has given. Cause' theres no satisfying men.

    Go for natural, pale or tanned,
    really doesn't matter.
    as long it's not goddamn fake tan.

    HOWEVER!
    This brings to my mind another subject, about the beach.
    There is nothing more enjoyable for me
    (and I'd like to believe other men too)
    than seeing a woman having fun at the beach,
    playing volley, 'wrestling' with the waves, or digging holes in the sand,
    but seeing one lying down for hours like a dead animal the tide puked out, all covered in oil and sand, trying to get a tan,
    tired, inanimate, lifeless,
    without spirit, without strength, without vitality.
    tell you what,
    Next time youre in the beach, have a good time,
    drop a sweat, Bet you 50 Euro that the tan will come by itself, PLUS! you keep that body of yours on edge!
    Also remember that tanned skin does not compliment a body that is not a bit wethered and fit ( by fit I don't mean thin/slim)

    I don't really like anything that looks like it was done purposefully be it tan from sun or tan from can. Go outside, get your vitamin D, where an spf if you're concerned and however your skin naturally reacts will be the most attractive. Beautiful skin comes in every color--its the complexion WITHIN the skin that really makes it stand out.

    Pale is beautiful and looks fem and delicate if ur a girl. If you can achieve a porcelain doll look then nice, only works for certain pretty type faces

    I like both. Very pale skin does attract me quite a bit, but I also like it when someone comes back from holiday and they're all brown. That looks great. Fake tan is fairly unpleasant because it's easy to tell it's not real.

    ^This. Lol.

    Also if it's a natural tan then it's fine. But if the guy has a dark tan I think it's gross.

    Natural tan is ok, but i do prefer just plain, normal skin
    fake tan is fucking ugly and the girls always look stupid when they wear it

    Stop worrying about it. As long as men still want to quote: ''put it in you,'' then it's ok!

    There has to be a kinda balance... I like girls that are a little tan but not overtanned. You can be a light complexion but with a nice glow. Try a spray tan or bronzer it looks nice on girls.
