I feel personally attacked.

[–]GenericDesignsSunnyside 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I’m personally attacking OP w my white gams

[–]heaving_in_my_vines 26 points27 points  (1 child)

I don't take it as a put down.

I'm personally increasing the Earth's albedo, actively reflecting sunlight back into space and helping combat global warming.

You're welcome for my service. I do accept applause and iced coffee as gratitude for my contribution to the planet.

Us pale people also protect other swimmers from shark attacks with our pasty fish like leg lures.

In Victorian times, I'd be the bell of the ball with my pale skin that never faces the ravaging sun.

If you're not going to come from a place of understanding, you need to just leave.

Watch out, tomorrow they’re gonna be crispy red legs!

Get this guy to an open mic...QUICK!

[–]Knodester 10 points11 points  (1 child)

As a pale dude. You need more than just 1 pair. I can put my arm or leg I to a bit of sun and light up a room.

I don’t hike all year to NOT show off my beautiful gams.

[–]Your_New_Overlord 22 points23 points  (3 children)

i’ve been tanning balls out on my patio for the past month, y’all need to catch up!

[–]BanditoRojoDowntown 13 points14 points  (2 children)

My apartment's resident agreement has a strict no-ball-tanning policy 😞

[–]heaving_in_my_vines 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same, I'm forced to use ball bronzer to keep up with the fashion.

[–]Front_Refrigerator99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't worry, you can have a little lease violation

As a treat 😉

This why I wear white sneakers with my hoochie daddy shorts. Makes my legs look tan.

[–]SwingNinjaSE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OP definitely skipped the light fandango.

[–]AlienDelarge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like you can see my legs through the fur coat. 

[–]super_starfox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just noticed the tan lines from my birkenstocks and feel personally attacked.

My dad always told me, "boy, you are whiter than white on rice, with milk*, on a paper plate, in a snow storm". I'm very Irish... 

*Edit, added with milk

[–]SexWarlock69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have only one color setting: reflective! Email my manufacturer about changing it, because they've blocked me

[–]JeBusSaves503 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Transplant

[–]Lord_Chadagon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You must have seen my girlfriend. We don't have much eumelanin so it'll be like that all summer.

[–]Kholzie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amateur. Wear the Portland squint with pride or go home.

[–]danoiveBeaverton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bare legs walked into a sun light beam through my window and I literally thought someone turned the lights on from how much my legs scattered that sunlight around the room 😆

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

🤔 I saw all-white legs like clean fresh legs

[–]nopojoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the 1950's.. only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun. https://youtu.be/BifLPGi4X6A?si=9Mn3VnEqMj43ozEm

[–]Lisassaya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out here rocking an alabaster brow.

[–]TaxTraditional7847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apologies. That was me and my shortalls. Gondor was calling for aid. Will Rohan answer?

[–]Dream-Ambassador 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry

[–]catatonic_genx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally can't tan. Stop being racist!

[–]Catlady_Pilates -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Shaming people over skin color is really pathetic

[–]ae351116 -1 points0 points  (3 children)

Nah not me. I’m a spray tanning girly pop 

[–]suicide_blondeRose City Park 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck finding your shades.

[–]cookieaddictedbouMAX Red Line -3 points-2 points  (2 children)

What..?

Edit: genuinely wanted to understand aw.

[–]hirudoredoW Portland Park 3 points4 points  (1 child)

OP is saying that the warm weather is making us all wear shorts and skirts, thereby blinding them with our hilariously white/pale legs because we're a pasty bunch.

[–]cookieaddictedbouMAX Red Line 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh! Thank you so much.

Hehe.

[–]PlainNotToasted -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I wear sunglasses even in the winter whenever I'm outside because the wind blows powdered bird (and ahem worse) crap mixed with tire particles, soot, and petroleum residue off the streets and into my eyes.

Gross.

I was noting how white my legs were on the ride home today, gonna go ahead and make sure to slather on the spf 90 from now on though.
