Our Friend STINKS!


Question Posted Monday November 16 2009, 11:08 am

Oh my goodness. Our (my roommate and I )friend is very nice, but not really to other people. she's pretty, too, but she smells! Before we go out, she will take a shower, but she still stinks! We thought it was just us, but we met these nice boys and one liked her. Well, we became good friends with them and the boy told us that he stopped talking to her because she didn't smell good. How do we tell her? We don't want to embarass her or let her go through this without knowing again. AND she is kind of defensive in a way......

Thanks!

well really depends what kinda smell were on about the main thing to is say to your freind in the kindest way that she smells and your only telling her because everyone else is noticing and if they tell her it would hurt her a lot worse sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind and sure she will be defensive no one likes to be told they stink but sometimes people have to realise some people just tell you things like that cause they care so you dont get teased or taunted by others so just say i know you wash and stuff but you have a little bit of a smell comin from you and well i thought i should let you know because a guy liked you and stopped talking to you through it and we dont want that to happen to you cause your pretty and deserve to be treat much better .

You just have to sit her down and be like
"Dude, you're amazing and we love having you as our friend. And we REALLY REALLY don't want to be rude when we say this, but you don't smell too good"

And take if from there.
