Wear something that you think makes other girls look beautiful and go somewhere with confidence, on your own, without anyone you know. A nice coffee shop, the museum, etc. You will be approached or complimented, guaranteed. And keep your eyes open, sometimes it takes our breath away and we may be reluctant. you may only see a smile.

I absoloutley love pale skin no matter what the hair color but im a sucker for dark brown or black , I guess it stemmed from scene/emo/alternative girls. idk im really self concious about my weight always have been,just seems to me like this isnt something to get worked up over :P when people joke about it its just for their amusement dont take it to heart(not easy i know)

Screw everybody else! I have 6 sisters..2 of em too young to tan.but the others tan..except now I don't and they put me down for being so white and not choosing to tan.
Your bf is an ass.. apparently he cares too much about how you look. He should love you for being how you are. I understand..when summer comes along, we do anything to look tan.. but screw it. One day they will look disgusting and old and we will be beautiful and natural :)
The only thing now that I will do to look slightly darker is try to pick a swim suit that compliments my color haha

I have medium brown hair, and I have tanned but in all that I have done I have risked spots on my skin and going back to my pale skin. Not VERY pale, but way whiter then other girls. For the first time I am going to the beach pale skinned. Recently got married to my husband and he gave me confidence in wanting to not tan anymore. Says he loves me for who I am, not for how I look. Although looks is a plus, he doesn't want me looking fake. It is SO very difficult to see other girls all pretty and tan looking amazing in their swimsuits and clothes.. and it hurts my self esteem. BUT down the road, I will be healthier, natural and beautiful the way I am unlike others. More power to us pale skin girls! :D

I have red hair, freckles, and VERY pale skin. All my life, I have been worring about why I cannot find makeup in my skin tone, or why tan skin is so “cool”. I wear bikinis on the beach, and short-shorts in the summer, and you know what- I’m not afraid to show it. I’m not afraid to bring a bottle of SPF 110 to a pool party. I’m not afraid to be me. I used to know a girl, we were friends. She had redhair and even lighter skin than me. She told me “Everything goes in and out of style. While tan is popular now, pale could be popular in 20 years, when everyone starts dying of skin cancer.” Those few lines she told me, really helped me.

It’s nice to read something a fellow redhead wrote. Sometimes I feel like the only one, living by the Jersey Shore. I posted a similar thing on my blog. I think if redheads keep posting, we can boost our confidence. I’ll be honest, I have asked on Yahoo Answers why people make fun of my fair skin. Everyone replied things about pale skin being so pretty. Where are all these pale skin lovers? So, thanks. Thanks for posting this little “blog”. It really helped. Good luck all you little gingers!

I get those comments all of the time…from other white people. it's like ok well i dont feel like getting skin cancer or wrinkles prematurely. I will be 29 in 5 weeks and I honestly get mistaken for a recent high school grad,no joke. and I am a wife and mother. :)
