Attractive when tanned, ugly if not. What to do?

I've grown up always being the ugly dude of the group and getting commented on my pale skin (are you not feeling well?). It doesn't really hurt me anymore, I'm used to it.

This was me. I was the Irish one and I have never been tan. I was afraid to take my shirt off for years. One day I decided that I wasn’t going to care what people said. I took my shirt off during sports and when I swam. People made fun of me and I agreed and amplified without even knowing the terminology.

Giving yourself skin cancer to “fit in” with society aka being a faggot is stupid. My hot sexy Latina wife is several shades darker than me. I’m like a see through plastic bag. When I accepted who I was I never had any problem attracting any woman I wanted. Confidently accepting your skin color will give you far more attention than a fake tan or some other bullshit.

Do you have access to the sun?

Wearing a low SPF tanning oil under sun may reduce the risk of skin cancer, and will likely be better than sitting directly in a bed.

Melanotan II my dude. If you don't have a problem with pinning yourself you'll get a quick tan and look amazing year round. As far as I know it doesn't actually increase the chances of melanoma any more than tanning naturally would, so technically it's safer than sitting outside all the time.

Really pale with muscles.. never looks bad. A ripped ginger, (while we could insert jokes) could still pull like maaadddd ive seen it.

A) own that shit before you let others own you with it B) get muscles for people to focus on instead of your skin color.

Wear suntan lotion and get more natural sunlight. I'm not saying you look great in a speedo, but the more tan you are, the better. Not the amount of tan, but the surface area covered by your tan. Don't overdo it, they complimented you because you were slightly darker, not super dark. Keep that in mind. Extremes of any kind are typically not sexy.
