Telling a friend that their boyfriend smells

What does one do in a situation such as this? I mean he comes over, has a shower and he still smells. I realise not everyone can share my high standards of clensing and grooming but come on now, this is absurd. True story, I came into the living room once and he was sitting there in a t-shirt and jeans, contented and relaxed, completely stinking up the joint. I asked "Urgh, what the hell's that smell?" and I kid you not he blamed the nearby iron, which was not even plugged in. Besides, irons don't sweat!

I know I should probably mind my own business but when a friend's boyfriend smells so bad that it has to be taken to the Internet, well you know things have become severe. Should I offer to wash his clothes? Take him on a trip to a spa? Help~!

Maybe you can sugest to shower with him !!!

I feel your pain! My parents have these old friends who have a daughter about the same age as me. We stayed with them for a while and every time her boyfriend came round I felt like throwing up because he smelt like shit. Seriously... it smelt like he had had a bout of diarrhoea and hadn't bothered to wipe himself. :yuckky: My best friend also used to have a boyfriend who hardly washed his clothes or took a shower and would just spray everything with deodorant over and over again. Luckily, they broke up before I had to meet him.

I really cannot think of a way to tell your friend about her stinky boyfriend without it coming across as rude/upsetting. I hope your friend is not the sensitive type because then as long as you make it clear you don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings, it should be all right to tell her.

Oh thats gross!!

So bad....

This reminds me of a Rebecca Romijn quote about this very topic. She said there is no better way to do it than hand him a bar of soap and say "Try using this next time."

How can your friend stand the smell? it's her boyfriend isn't it embarrassing?

^^ yea i was thinking the same thing.

does she not smell it?

ive smelled plenty of stinky people in public places and its a straight slap to the face lol

i think you should talk to her personally before some random stranger just comes up and says "Damn dude your RANK"

I agree it would do your friend a favor..

I've read somewhere that women are usually attracted to their partner's smell.

It's even more insane than that. Women can actually (subconsciously) determine the quality of a man's immune system by how he smells.

The better the compatibility of his immune system with hers, the more appealing he will smell to women. Basically, women look for an immune system with different genes to their own, so that her children will have a better chance at survival. Must be some age-old instinct that survived to this day.

He also looks a bit like Mal Evans. Kids, ask your parents.
