Women prefer bronze

For the guys out there who are looking to turn the ladies' heads this summer, it may take more than sporting abs like Matthew McConaughey -- it may take matching his skin tone.

Citing a recent study from the University of Missouri, Men's Health reports that a light brown skin tone is considered most attractive to women. Not George Hamilton brown and definitely not Carrot Top light (or sunburned) -- light brown. Think Derek Jeter or Indiana Jones.

Get your bronze on without exposing yourself to harmful UV rays by applying a tinted moisturizer. If primping of this kind makes you feel a little less than manly ... well, it sure beats the hell out of having to nurse a sunburn for three days and increasing your risk of skin cancer.
