nose hairs and rump odor and ear wax, oh my!?

Question

I understand love is unconditional, but then again, hygiene is kind of important too. I love my "male friend" to more than ANYTHING, but even at age 22, his hygiene leaves a bit to be desired. I've approached him privately about missing a few little hairs right below his nose when he shaves and he was VERY embarrassed. He actually denied it, but the little buggers were almost an inch long, sticking straight out above his lip. I've also noticed that his rear end sweats like nothing I've ever seen (or smelled). He leaves a sweat mark on the chair and then his BUTT will emit this horrible odor. I haven't had the courage to tell him about THAT. He is a VERY big guy- tall and thick. He's rather geeky too, so he's not exactly thinking he has to impress girls and is actually confused as to why I'm even attracted to him.... Oh, and yes. Crusty, orange thingys in his ear. yuck. Is there a polite way I can help him with these little icky things? Without breaking his poor sweat heart?

Answer 1

You are a darling to see the beautiful inside of this man.

Of course he denied the nose hair! Who wouldn't? But the big thing is, did he do something about it?

You started out just right. Pick a little thing and work on it until it's fix. Then work on another. Remember if you say something mean, also say something complementary too!

I always fell for the "big teddy bear" types, too!

Good Luck!
