I took my gf out to meet some friends of mine and I wasn't very happy about the results. One of my friends works around medical chemicals and so carries the smell with him outside of work. He was completely respectful and polite to my gf, but my gf became very standoff-ish to him b/c of his chemical odor. She was responsive and jovial with all the other friends though. It really sucked because although he didn't say anything, I could tell my friend felt left out. Her response to when I brought it up to her later was, "I didn't mean to be mean, I just couldn't take his smell. He smelled bad."
Why would a girl would be disinterested in everything about a guy just for his smell? WIll she ever warm up to him? Is this girl just special?

As the common friend between the two of them, you had an obligation to either warn her of his profession or make note of it afterwards; it is then up to her to own her actions and answer for them if your friend is offended, based on being fairly warned.
Understand that she may have sensitivities toward strong odors or certain substances; she admitted her avoidance - if she was classy she might apologize the next time she meets him "clean".

I wouldn't really want to be around the smell either, but I agree that she should not have made him feel excluded. Obviously, he is aware of this issue so maybe he should consider showering after work, using deodorant and cologne. Problem solved.

As a rule of thumb women in general don't like bad smells but she didnt have to be rude to him even if he did smell a little.
