Apparently, he doesn't much care about himself and his own hygiene than to care about what you think.
Seriously, he's not concerned with the way he looks and probably doesn't care about what you tell him either.
I'm probably safe to assume that his friends are also slobs. That's the only thing I can think because from one guy to another, it's pretty easy to say, "man, you smell. Take a shower." However, if it's acceptable in his 'group', then it's okay for him to stink.
There really isn't a nice way to say it. You just got to confront him in a serious, but calm manner. Be prepared for him to grow very defensive. But that's okay. That's human nature.
After you have "broken the ice", remind him often. For example, if he wants to get intimate, tell him no because he smells.
Before going out on dates (that he initiates), tell him to brush his teeth and shower before you'll go.
If he gets defiant and says something like, "fine. We won't go then."
That will just tell you that he doesn't care about your feelings at all.
Yes, it's sort of an ultimatum, but the more you let this go, the longer he'll smell.
Avoiding his bad hygiene might you think that you're avoiding him. Well, sort of. But, be serious. Do you like being around him when he's reeking? Probably not.
After all this, if he still does not want to change, you should let him go. He obviously has personal issues, but don't let him drag you into his personal hell.

first how can you allow yourself to be with someone that does not have good hygiene habits? And he's a man he should know that he stinks he can smell himself and know that he stinks there is no easy way to tell him so what i advice you to do is run him a bath and make it seem like a nice thing romantic while he's in the tub wash his back and just tell him you think he's so much more handsome clean.

What does his mom and friends say about his hygiene? It all boils down to what you will put up with. Really, his poor hygiene could cause you to pick up his germs and bacteria (when he kisses you or sleeps with you). You might want to sit him down and tell him that if he does not change you are leaving. Good Luck.

i would combine my advice with others that will no doubt answer this question. If i were you i would tell him when my girlfriend tells me i smell i try and fix it pretty soon. but you definetly do not want to much and make him feel like its all that matters to you which im sure it dosent as your still with him even though he smells. you also dont want to get him to stop doing whatever makes him smell with his friends. i hope this helps maybe there are some women here who can tell you specificly what to say.

Take him to the horse stable and leave him there, then come back and get a real human being

tell him you love it when a man smells good, and that it turns you on. with hold sex and kissing til he fixes it, let him know how you feel. i am a hygein freak myself, and my bf doesn't shower as often as i like, well he used to not, now he knows, no sex if your not clean.

By dumping him. Soon no girl worth her salt would have him. If he still doesn't get the message, nothing else would.

ewww....he sounds gross. Why are you even going out with him. Set your standards a little higher, honey. He is a grown man, and that's disgusting.
