HeLP! HOW TO APPROACH A GOOD FRIEND ON B.O!?!


Question: my good friend has some body odor issues. i go by his house sometimes and his room is always clean. he has a washing machine. and a closet full of clothes. i know for a fact that he's a clean person. but for some reason he can smell really bad. i dont know if he notices or not, but i cant stand it when people talk about him. he's like my brother. we've had alot of similar hardships growing up and we were always together as kids. its confusing to me how someone so clean can smell so bad. he has a bunch of colognes and soaps and axe bodywash. actually when i run out i can always ask him for some because he buys a bunch. i wonder if he buys all that stuff because he is aware of his problem and is trying to deal with it, or he is buying it just like anyone else would. should i talk to him about it? its getting worse and people talk really bad about him. i know i would want someone to tell me if i smell bad. but even if i tell him, what could be causing a clean guy to smell like that?

There's a medical condition called fish odour syndrome that means no matter how clean a person is their skin excretes an odour. I would to talk to him, if he knows about it already and can't do anything about it I'm sure he wont hold it against you, and if he doesn't know about it you will be doing him a favour. Better you than some insentive A-hole. That would be more upsetting for him.

If he's a good friend mention ti to him, but be nice about it

wear some deo.
shower more often, idk?
go to the doctor..
your "friend" could have something wrong with him,,, ;)

Dude, your buddy is a skanky dirt bag. Does he get laid often? If not, you could use that approach, like saying, "Hey dude, I was thinking that you could get laid more if you took a shower every day and used some pit juice."

buy him 1 of your fave deodorants, hand it to him with a slap on the back and say "dude! try this! its new and its my fave! and the chics love it!"
