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!

"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"
