I met my friend here at college last year. He is smart, funny, and nice. I always noticed a body odor smell when he was around and I was finally able to put two and two together. I always just ignored this, but it just has seemed to have gotten worse since we have returned to school. I know he showers. I am guessing he just was never told to use deodorant. How can I hint at or let him know that he smells without offending him. I feel like as a friend I should do something so others who do not know him will not judge him because of his stench.
p.s. I have confirmed with some very close friends that the smell is truly my friend, so I can be sure to not offend the wrong friend because I have a sensitive nose (which I do not.)

I would start by dry heaving. Then say "damn someone around here is living in the 18th century." If that doesn't work I would try to sneak some bacon into his pockets.

sometimes there are people do all the necessary duties to make your self nice and clean but it doesn't help. my advice is to tell him about it. he should see a doctor about this. i had a friend that no matter how much she showered or put deodorant on she still stunk. she didn't know what to do. so she went to the doctor and he gave her some special soap to take care of this problem. after using this soap the smell went away. it worked for her maybe it will work for him.

Just tell him about a new deoderant, Maybe say lynx has a new one that would smell wicked, just say you should get it,
sometimes u have to make a rude statement so that he understands, ok..
For example. just go Pwoah! u reek!! he will be offended, but should get the point!

If I was a friend I'd want to know if I stunk. Be honest then tell him to try some Axe body spray ( hint )

well.sometimes its natural to have body odour,but sometimes some have it cos of being dirty(cause by sweat).You dont need to tell your guy that he smell and have bad body odour,you can get him nice deodorant and nice perfume.Get his armpit hair shave.clean with aftershave.If you can,you can help in wash his underwear.I think the the odour will go away by consistent using of perfume and deodorant.

The truth hurts, we have all had to deal with the truth. Just tell him straight up and honestly, just be sensitive as how, when and where you tell him? He will appreciate it in the long run.

It all depends how much your friendship with him is worth. I would tell him especially when his odor is strong and no one is around him in nice way.

Tell him politely so tht it doesnt hurt him n tell him to use a deo roll on which is anti perspirant.
