View Full Version : Solarium / Fake Tan + Pheromones = Success

I have discovered over a period of months that having been under solarium lights and having my skin
darkend will boost the effectivness of pheromones 100 fold! I think it might have to be the result of the skin
temperature being higher after prolonged solarium use or perhaps certain natural chemicals that are excreted through
the skin only do so after prolonged sun/UV ray exposure? Whatever the reason, in my experience I have had great
success with pheros after a ive had a few visits to a solarium parlor.
Perhaps it might just simply be that
people look healthier and better looking when tanned, just my opinion? Like the saying goes " tall dark and
handsome" ?
Has anyone had any expirience with what im describing here?
Any chance the lights kill certain
bacteria or alter?

I can't remember where read
it, but there was a study that indicated that getting a tan will slightly raise testosterone levels.

Yep, I was just about to say the same thing.
Apart from that, a tan can be more attractive.

I just heard someone say, "tan fat is more attractive than
white fat".
I laughed pretty hard!

But don't over do it. I have
surfer and tennis friends that looked like prunes by 30. Now they go to the dermatologist regularly to have chunks
trimmed off...

But
don't over do it. I have surfer and tennis friends that looked like prunes by 30. I agree. I know
a woman in her early 40s and her skin looks like old leather now. Especially her upper chest, along with spots.
Not attractive at all. She's very fit though and probably was quite hot looking at a younger age but not anymore.
All that sun and tanning booths did their damage. Sad thing is she still goes to tanning salons and lays out in
the sun thinking it makes her look better. She has this almost orange look all year round.

I've written that tall, dark and
handsome is merely a visual description of an olfactory profile. Each characteristic is related to testosterone
production. Anything that makes you visually appear as if you have a more masculine scent signature is most likely
to get you increased attention. At least that's the way it works in men--can't use the same logic in women who
tan--except that the "look" is culturally programmed--as opposed to the extremely pale geisha girl look.
The difference in testosterone levels between men and women is what increases the red blood cell count in
men to levels where the hematocrit can be somewhat visualized. Similar effects in other animals, the lion's mane is
darker with increased testosterone and females prefer the darker mane. Anemia, and the pale skin associated with it
in men, is not typically considered desireable. So, maybe next time you think about it, you'll also think about how
much pheromones have influenced your personal preferences that you thought were merely visual
preferences.

I am comming to the conclusion
that this whole thing about smell and attraction has alot too it.I recently found myself very drawn to a woman
that...for lack of a better or more tactful description...isnt what one might call,attractive.She isnt ugly by any
means...but to look at her she isnt the kind of woman that I would usualy find myslef attracted too.But there is
something about her that absolutly drives me nuts.And it wouldnt supprise me if it's her scent.Because I can assure
you it isnt her looks.

I would never tan, and I
generally avoid women who do.
In addition to the skin damaging effects, I find that it makes the user look
trashy.
My woman has noted that she has always preferred pale men.

ismellgood, what women say
and what they want are 2 different things.

lordcrazyd,
As a
generality, I agree.
But for the issue of liking pale men, my woman says and wants/does the same
thing.
eric_pelletier_tw,
In addition to tanning making women look trashy, you are right that it slowly
destroys the skin, leathering and wrinkling it. I notice subtle damage much earlier than that as well. I like nice
skin both for myself and for the female skin against which I move.

What about those spray/tanning
booths? As I understand it, they tan with chemicals, not with light. So, at least they are not giving UV damage.
Don't know about whether the chemicals cause long term damage with repeated exposure or not.
I think it all
comes down to whether or not someone looks "healthy", and tans are generally associated with a "healthy" look, which
is why bodybuilders and fitness models all do it. Plus, one thing I've always thought about tans, is that they
particularly offset white teeth. In other words, whitened teeth look whiter against tan skin, and tan skin looks
tanner against white teeth. And again, both are generally associated with a look of health, which probably signals
subconscious evolutionary selection breeding signals, hence our tendency to find and consider such characteristics
attractive. One interesting thing I saw on a tv special once was where they digitally edited out all blood lines in
the whites of the eyes of the models in photographs, because whiter eyes are also associated with all of the same
signals.

I’ve been playing tennis (recreationally) for about 30 years. I’ve been
consciously trying to take good care of my skin for about 15 years: aloe vera moisturizers, vitamin E, lots of water
& lots of sunblock. My skin is still pretty soft but I do have some spotting.
I think whatever you do
there’s always a trade off. I do notice more hits when I have a tan, but the effect doesn’t seem so dramatic that I
would try to maintain it all year round.
IMO the greatest complement to pheromone use is regular exercise.
The benefits include increased natural pheromone production, increased metabolism (speeds the evaporation process?),
increased confidence, mood elevation, decreased stress/tension, and a healthy glow that is arguably more attractive
than any tan.
Ummm, check this

esk6969,
I do not know
what the long-term effects of the spray tans are (but we do know the long-term effects of light-based
tanning).
a.k.a.,
I agree with you that the exercise glow is far better than the radiation-damage
tan.
bjf,
see my reply to that post there.

Hard to say! Tanned skin is listed as one of the hallmark features of a beautiful
face, regardless of sex.
On the other hand, if you're in a country like Japan where pale skin is thought to be
very sexy (at least in women,) it might be different.
I also read a study that said that the sexiest, happiest
people could be fat, pale, people basking in the sun on the beach (fools with the happiness chemicals in your brain
somehow, sun exposure and extra fat.)
So it could be that the sun exposure (especially during the wintertime)
elevates your mood to some extent, in turn giving you greater confidence.
I'll stick with my Morticia Addams
pale skin, personally, and just take a little bit of L-tyrosine to boost my mood. ;)

chococat,
I find "Morticia
Addams pale skin" a turn-on.
As I have told several women, if I want a dark skinned woman, I will pursue a
genuinely dark-skinned woman, not a relatively light-skinned woman who is trying to damage her skin.
And in
addition to not finding the acute effects of tanning attractive, I am always keenly aware of the long-term
destructive effects of tanning (leathering, spotting, wrinkling).
And as for those fat people on the
beach,
Fat people are definitely less
sexual:
