Tan - How important is it?

[KollegahDerBoss]

I've been a white guy since I was little and I never bothered to stay hours under the sun to get some tan.
However, since I was little - I remember that popular girl we had in class - she shouted "Get some tan and cut your hair" in front of the whole class.

Some girls did actually told me lately - "I thought italians are tanned you're so whitey".

Is it important to be tanned, if yes, how much?

The other thing is: Being tanned is basically having your skin ruined from all the UV Rays - and it highers your chance of cancer - what's the point of it?

Get a tan if you want to, I feel the most important thing is for you to be completely comfortable with yourself. A lot of times girls will call you out on things they feel you are insecure about to test the difference between your perceived confidence and actual confidence, and if you can communicate that it doesn't bother you and that you're secure then form then on it is no longer an issue. Having a tan or not is not the difference from getting laid or not in my opinion. It's up to you to make pasty sexy.
