I'm really into this girl at school, I'm a junior in college, but sometimes at the end of the day she reaks of sweat. She commutes to school and it's not all the time, but it's baaad when her deordorant runs out.

I dunno how to tell her. Maybe thru a female proxy?

Thanx

Are you guys dating? If your not dating,. then just steer clear? If your dating, then its a touchy subject. Most women want you to believe that honesty is the best answer. Well, I honestly told an ex gf that the stretch pants she wore, just didnt work for her.. Thats why shes an ex.. so, Honesty yes, how to relay that message... I dunno..

If you think she can handle it. tell her she needs a stronger deoderant. Some womens bodies just sweat more than others.

Good Luck

I wish we dating, more on that later.

We do hang out alot & it can get over powering.

Unfortunate story, though. Glad for the help.

To convey this without acting like a dick, you need to tell her by making yourself look humble.

For example, say this: Listen, her_name, I'm going to tell you something, but understand that the exact same thing happened to me.

Then go into some story about how a friend of yours said u had terrible BO or mouth odor, etc and how you fixed it.

Even if its not true, by making yourself seem like you're also a mere mortal, she won't think negatively of your criticism.

tsmo

ha. yes, she will think negatively of his criticism.

Put it this way, If you tell her, outright, hey hun, you have this stinky aroma about you.. shes gonna say. hey thanks. and then dump your ass on principle.

To me. There is no koy way to tell a women she stinks.

You'll be stuck for the rest of your relationship with.. hey hun. Lets go hop in the shower 1st..

Even offering that her deoderant isnt holding up is grounds for dumping..

I would like to see some of the WR women chime in on this though,. I'd love to see what they have to say on this.

There really is no gentle way to tell your friend she stinks at the end of the day. You might try gently bringing up odors, maybe when someone with strong perfume walks by. It may be a medical condition on her part and nothing helps.

wow...i feel bad for you man. honesty from you in this situation wont work. a female proxy may but you can not have a hand in it.

It's funny b/c last semester she wore this Gardenia perfume and it drove me nuts, it made me wish were in an orange grove alone, under the warm Florida sun...Now that it's out of season, we have this problem.

I'm guessing she wore strong perfume because she already knows that she stinks. If you want to give her the hint without getting clobbered, you might try letting yourself get stinky one day, and comment on your own odor. That would be humbling yourself & calling attention to a problem without embarrasiing her. It's like when someone warns a friend that they have something stuck in their teeth by playing with their own teeth. The friend subconsciously picks up the message and checks...

ahhhh how wise shiiboi-san

find out what type of sent of deodorant she like then buy the Soft & Dri Power Strip Deodorant version of it, they have it for females too even though they only advertise for men, keep it at your place, take a shower with her and then tell her she can use it if she wants, it works really well.

"take a shower with her and then tell her she can use it if she wants"

while that sounds incredible, you guys are jumping the gun a little here.

I still have to make the whole thing official.

Everything is still in the "more than a friend, less than a boyfriend" stage.

More on that if inquisitive minds so desire...

gocatgo

That is very clever.

maggiesdragons

Okay, I understand, you could let her take a shower by her self, but just the same, let her know that it is there for her to use.
