I like a deep tan,it looks healthier.

I prefer the PALE skin to tan. I always loved the Geisha's fair skin.

I love pale skin - the whiteness and purity of it. But thats probably coz i am in a place that is FULL of tans!

I'd like either one...as long as she prefers me! :) I am very tan myself...but that is just me. I don't have a preference in skin color...or tone....either one is fine by me! :)

For myself I like a deep tan. At the moment I am pale and everytime I see myself in a mirror I think how ill I look

For myself, I prefer to be tanned in color...for my mate - much darker...

As a youth I dreamed of tan skin and wouldn't show my legs until the sun had burned it. Now I really don't care. I am neon white & the best I get is off white. Woo-Hoo.

Pale for me.

I love being tan, but I hate wrinkles. That's what tanning will cause over the years. I use self tanners sometimes in the summer. I wear heavy sunscreens also. It works for me. For my man, it doesn't matter to me.

For my skin: pale (I'm Irish, so tan is not an option) For my partner: Pale.... (Tans are just weird to me, unnatural almost)

I prefer to have a tan especially in the summer just is an all around makes me feel healthy and good

It doesn't matter really...I think tans look nice, but a lot of people look better pale.

Healthy skin is hot. But the skin of someone you love is always the best!

I prefer a tan.. but if i dont tan naturally rather than intentionally... it doesnt become an objective to be darker...im cool with me.

I prefer a NATURAL tan not those tacky spray on tans.

My woman.. She is fair complected and has very nice smooth skin, and looks much younger than she actually is. I'd prefer that any day over someone who looks like an old worn out saddle

Natural tan, the one you get from outdoor sports and which shows that you're an active person, is hot.

I like a little bit of color on skin. Not tan tanned because then all I think about is the damage, the dryness that will happen now and later in life and possible cancer. I've seen it happen to too many people as I grow older. I used to get tans easily, just by working outside and riding or gardening but I also start out darker as I have darker Mediterranean skin. And now I live in New York where they seem to either spend all their time winter and summer in a tanning booth or else specialize in that horrible blue skin color. This former Californian is shocked.

It depends if its chicken or duck

whichever is natural.

Tan but not fried and leathery like a certain local female disc jockey referred to as Leather-face!

I'd go with pale skin. In comparison with pale males, tanned males are more aggressive, frequently intrude into neighboring territories, spend less time guarding their mates, occasionally attempt polygyny, and provide less parental care.

Definately pale

pale but not bright white

i don't really mind, there are some hot girls who are pale e.g. eva green, and some gils who are tanned who are also hot e.g. jessica simpson (she looks awesome when she is tanned)

I prefer tanned skin.

tan

why do we only have a choice between pale and tan?? theres like 100s of skin colors in between, i dont like pale or tan somewhere in between, and im assuming you mean pale as in ghost white??? im a little lost i like light skin but not ghost white..and wtf is up with that dude sayin he likes deep tans cause they look healthier?!? HELLO 80s are over buddy go google skin cancer

I loves naturally dark skin that hasn't been baked in ultraviolet radiation so as paradoxical as it may seem I prefer... ah hell, I guess I find tan skin more attractive on another person. For me though, I prefer my pale, cancer-free skin.

I'll go for tan..If you a have a pale skin you always look sick..^_^

I'm quite pale myself and sometimes I look quite sickly, so I prefer the tanned look 'cos it looks more healthy (to me). However, I wouldn't particularly sit in the sun for hours to achieve that look esp. with skin cancer and everything.

If you are a woman, listen to me, these are facts. It is not comforting, but factual- 1. Tan girls get the guys, they can be fat, homely, whatever. You have a tan you get something, you get a a date. Fact- Men like tan girls. 2. Pale girls have homosexual guy friends. Nice friends to have, they tell you how beautiful your pale skin is, and how good you will look when your 40...but you get no guys. You will never get a guy. Fact- Men like younger women with tans. 3. It is more fun to spend a day at the beach or river getting drunk and soaking in rays than it is to shop at the mall with your gay boy friends. Fact- Men like tan drunk girls. Men dislike pale girls with gay friends. Sorry, it is a fact though. 4. Get a tan, get a boy and get married. Pale women have a hard time getting married. Unless they marry someone from India, or their gay friend from the mall. Fact- Pale women are 85% more likely to be lesbians than their good looking tan friends. They are 95% more likely to be overweight. Overweight and pale is not what the avaerage american male wants- that is a Fact. 5. Overweight and tan is acceptable. 6. Underweight and tan is NOT acceptable. Skinny girls get no action. They are made fun of. Don't get me started about skinny pale girls. 7. Unfortunately ladies no matter what you do when you're young, it ain't gonna help you after you have children or reach 40. Enjoy your youth. Go out and have fun in the sun, or snow, or night time. You will show your years, as is normal, as is life...Unless your Goldie Hawn, she's still sexy at 60. Th elist is very short though.

white skin, slightly tanned - just enough to give a healthy glow

Tanned...means outdoorsy type, and that's sexy!

No preference really. As long as people have skin I will talk to them. If someone doesn't have skin, it would make conversation kind of odd.

i like my skin natural and pale :) Tanning will ruin it and give me future wrinkles.

Depends on the person usually tan though (a real one not that fake stuff).
