My best friend of 8 years besides my wife, has a very bad problem with his oder. He always smelled a little funny but now it's not even exceptible. It's really hard to sit in the same car with him. And I have to force myself to go around other people with him, because they might think it's me. How do I tell him and not make him too mad. Oh yeah....He's very sensitive

It can be very difficult telling someone something he doesn't want to hear, so I suggest showing him. Schedule a long road trip with him and bring the missus along. Make it a month or two in the future so you have time to prepare. Now, and this is very important, DON'T BATHE. If it is possible to schedule the trip during your wife's period, DO IT!!! Also, store various perishable foodstuffs under the seats of your vehicle. When your malodorous chum complains of the stench, pull the car over and leave him wherever you are, telling him as he exits the vehicle, "NOW YOU KNOW HOW WE FEEL, STINKY!"

He already knows he stinks so you should tell him it's worse than before and buy him some cologne on his birthday or Christmas or just because and make sure you include a card that shows you care. he might have a sickness or something he needs to see a doctor about.

Maybe you should consider buying him a basketful of deodorants, soaps, colognes, after shaves, and other toiletries that broach the subject of BO and put a note in it that says...You are my dearest friend and you may hate me after you read this, but you have an offensive odor problem and I think you have the right to know that and as your friend it's my duty to tell you before some girl embarrasses you or something. Harsh words, but if he is as offensive as you say he will thank you in the end.

try to make your friend as comfy as possible by telling him about a time that you 'stank' for a period of time and then let him know that no matter what you are his friend and that you wouldn't be telling him if you weren't.
The key factor here is to not make him feel like dirt as much as possible.
OR...you could just keep your mouth shut and deal with it. Hey, if this is truly your friend wouldn't you put up with a little discomfort?
It's your call....good luck.

If you approach the situation with tact you should be able to pull it off. for example recommend a deoderant but dont say its cause u stink like a rats ****. Say its attractive to females or you recon it would smell great on him.
And if your going to lie remember the one defining rule of lying, keep em short and keep them simple. If he sees through the ruse have a backup say you were testing to see if guys listen to female friends or not Or your secretly working for the deoderent companies and you was doing market reserch :P

Eat something that you know that will give you gas. When you start to feel it come on to want to be out, get around him and let them rip. If he says anything bout it, tell him he stinks too. Go buy him some soap, and cologne.

How can she no longer comprehend if she is getting teased? Come on if absolutely everyone seems to be making relaxing of she for being "the stinky new child" she might desire to comprehend. in line with risk she in basic terms is having a tricky time controlling her physique scent that does ensue to human beings fairly at that age. i visit wager that she would not unlike baths, she in basic terms won't be in a position to administration the scent. do in basic terms no longer say something to her, in case you're saying some thing and he or she says she tried and there is not any longer something she will do you will experience like a entire b*tch. My suitable pal in grade 7-8 grow to be the stinky female and he or she in basic terms might desire to no longer administration it, it had no longer something to do with how oftentimes she showered. She at last in basic terms grew out of it as your pal will.
