If you want to try a good fake tan, neutrogena foam (not gel) is pretty good. All of that stuff smells funky though.

Getting a tanning membership would definately be worth your time, but the only thing that looks worse than pale white is bright red. You have to ease into it, and start out very slow. I know a guy like you that started out going for 5 minutes, and it took him two and a half months to get up to 15 or 20. As for saying you don't have the time for tanning, I'm sure you do. Just make it a part of your workout routine and stop by a salon on your way home. Most gyms have salons located very close to them anyway. Whatever you decide, good luck, but be careful. Just remember that the white is better than the red.
My appartments have free tanning so i use it as often as possibe (its not as strong as a new salon bed but it does the trick). I try to go every other day, or twice a week at the very least.
I have trouble keeping my face tan- its either white or burnt despite the rest of my body. Here is a trick my mom showed me:
Buy some banana boat sunless tanning lotion (dark bronze). Apply to face at least eod. This works very well for keeping my face the color i want.

I think I need to get tanned, I have good size and decent definition(trying to drop lil bf), but I think even if I was 7%bf it wouldn't show as well if I didn't have a decent tan. Unfortunately, I don't tan well so I'll have to use the fake shit.
I think it prolly matters, no pro would go onstage looking pale would they, not unless they wanted to place lower than Kamali!
If a tan didn't make you look bigger/more cut, then why would every bb contestant be so dark? It makes a huge difference. I think that light-colored black guys look the best.
The really dark black guys seem to hide some of the cuts, while we white guys look stupid when all painted up with that fake tanning goo.
You know what makes the biggest difference for me is SHAVING. When I let my body hair grow for a week or so and then shave it off, I'll step out of the shower and be like WHOA! All that hair "fuzzes" up your lines too, I think more so than being white.
