My boyfriend in high school used to beg me to go tanning because he thought I'd look better tan (yes, he was actually quite a jerk). I went a few times and would just get red. He never understood. Thankfully my husband now doesn't care and just likes to compare how "tan" he looks next to my pale arms.
I don't even feel bad when bimbos with orange skin give me a hard time about being pale. It's hard to feel like the ugly one when the person teasing you or giving you "honest beauty advice" looks so ridiculous.

As for the bitches with real tans who give me a hard time about my paleness... I just comfort myself with the thought that they'll have gross leathery skin before they're even in their 30s - while I'll still have lovely youthful skin.
