How do I deal with my boyfriends smell?

I knew before I started dating my boyfriend that he didn't smell the greatest. But I just figured since he's a guy he doesn't care. But I just can't really take the smell anymore. It just sucks having to smell it when hes got his arm around me or something. What can I do? Nothing?How do I deal with my boyfriends smell?
Don't be like: ';Honey, you smell like a dying animal..';





Maybe just hint at it. Like, buy him cologne for a present someday. Or tell him how sexy you think Axe (or whatever cologne you prefer) is.How do I deal with my boyfriends smell?
I can recall that,I also was like your boyfriend,my girlfriend used to avoid cuddling...hehe...but sometimes she would sacrifice her comfort.Well,on my birthday,my girlfriend bought me a perfume called ferrari,she said,';Baby,I was shopping around for your gift,and fortunately I saw this perfume with a label ';Ferrari';, I know you love cars and I bought it for you plus I love the smell';,at first I was embarrassed but I figured out.All I'll say to you is don't break up with him because of that,that's childish,instead,wait for an event to buy him a perfume that you would like to smell on him,then give him.If he asks,be honest and direct.Hope this helps.Just dont break up with him.
Find out what's causing the smell as best you can without asking him and gradually introduce a new deodorant (or whatever the issue is) that you ';love'; and would ';love it if he wore it';. My boyfriend had the foulest smelling feet when I first met him. Nasty, the odor would fill the room when he took his shoes off. He was embarrassed by it but had tried unsuccessfully to make it better. He spent so much time in the shower cleaning his feet, but nothing ever worked. One day, on the rare occasion that he was barefoot (he always kept socks and shoes on because of the smell, even at home) I noticed that the bottoms of his feet were white and had all the classic signs of severe athletes foot. So, I went out, bought him an anti-fungal foot powder and didn't tell him what it was. He was insistent that he didn't have athletes foot so I just told him it was foot powder to keep his feet dry. He started using it and his feet healed within a few weeks and have been healthy and odorless ever since. I spared his feelings by pretending to be unaware of the real issue, and he was willing to give the powder a shot in the first place since I bought it for him.
That's a tough one. Does he shower and deodorize daily? Maybe he just isn't the best about hygiene. But still, you should just try and bring it up casually and not try to be too confronting. Guys don't like to be confronted. And also, try not to offend him.





But if you don't want to do either of those things, try buying him a nice cologne. Tell him you think it smells really good and it would smell even better on him. He'll probably take the advice and start wearing it, and that may help with the smell problem. Good luck!
Just be honest and tell him. Be gentle of course.. if you really like the guy its worth it. When I met my husband once upon a time he had the worst breath! I just dealt with it during the ';get to know you'; process. But by the time we really started dating i told him.. he went to the doc and as it turned out he had gingavitis. He got it taken care of and never had smelly breath again.. except morning of course :0 LoL. Jus tell him. If he gets mad or blows it out of proportion than is not meant to be. U should be able to be open and honest with eachother and understanding of the others needs. Hopefully he'll get that and be more concious of how he smells :)
My friend's bf had to same problem. He smelled horrible and no one not even his friend who was my bf at the time told him to put on some deodorant. We didn't want to hurt his feelings especially her. One day he layed in my bed when he smelt extra stinky. i could not take that so i screamed ';get the **** out of my bed an take a shower!!'; he got the message when i was putting my sheets into my washer and that took care of it. if your too scared have ur friend tell him or take some Axe or something and have a perfume fight lmao.
Oh honey that's really hard. I'm sorry. I would probably tell him. If you love someone, you tell them the truth, if they can't handle that, they dump you, then that's THEIR insecurity. Don't worry. Tell him you love the smell of old spice deadorant or suggest a cologne. I know it's hard, but you're doing him a favor, right?
If you don't wanna straight up tell the guy, then you can at least hint it. If one day (hopefully soon) you see that he smells good, maybe he wears cologne sometimes, tell him and go on and on about it! Tell him you think that he smells really sexy, guys will do anything to turn their girls on, so maybe he will start doing it on a regular basis...


That's what I think anyways...lol...


Otherwise, tell him straight up...
Girl, listen, the worst thing to have is a girl/boyfriend who smells bad, ewww, or awful. the best thing you should do is this; One day tell him this; You smell like a hard working man, lucky you, I take the smell because you're working... other than that, I wouldn't.





Hopefully that will give you an idea of not making him feel bad...
thats the biggest turn-off for me in a guy. However if you really like him, buy him a set of fragrance (cologne, deodorant and all sorts of assorted perfumes) Just simply say you love it when a guy you re seeing wears them all the time, especially when they re with you.


This should tell him enough.


EEEWWW, personally i wont date a smelly guy
Fight fire with fire. or in this case, smell with smell. Don't shower for two weeks, use the bathroom and don't wipe (that goes for number 1 and number 2) , don't brush your teeth, don't change your underwear, throw out your deodorant, go on 5 mile jogging sessions. Eat beans with milk, and go on late night Taco Bell runs (get it, runs?)
sometimes we sweat more when we get nervous, and we get nervous around girls... ironic isn't it? tell him to try axe dry stick deodorant, i use it and it actually prevents your armpits from smelling. other then that? be with him near the begining of the school day, closest time when he takes a shower in the morning
This is what i would do. Tell him, ';babe whats up with the cologne youve been wearing. i really dont like it, try something else.'; He'll probably be thinking what? but then he'll realize its his smell and he'll feel weird and hopfulley start to shower......?





try something like that hope it all works out 鈾モ櫏鈾?:)
I would NEVER EVER date a guy who had bad hygiene. That's just nasty. Say, ';Omg do you SMELL that? It smells like BO! I hate when people don't WEAR DEODORANT!'; Maybe he'll get the picture. Or just straight up tell him, take a shower.
aghh this is a hard situation. but like would you wanna smell that stench everyday? i dont think so. just tell him straight up. if he loves you enough, he'll do it. like deodarant or something. goodluck girllll!
Just let him know it bothers you. If he is your boyfriend he will care. He will probably be embarrassed, but he will most likely do something about it.
ewwwwwwwww, just like drop subtle hints or something :)





buy him a new cologne! or have a romantic bath with him with bubbles and candles and wine - then make a joke and be like ';don't forget to wash'; AND THEN MAKE HIM WASH x
yes you can tell him the truth that's not right you have to sit there and take that smell a girl's man shouldn't be smelling like that
buy him some dodorant, spray him with something, or best of all, you could find somebody who doesn't stink, maybe that'll send him the message
Buy him some cologne and tell him that you really like that smell and think he should wear it. Hopefully he will get the hint.
Buy him some nice colone, and even if he doesn't like it hel wear it 2 make u feel better. Make sure its not 2 nice tho, or hel say hes ';saving it for a special occasion.';
Be honest! Yes its going to be hard to tell him because you dont want to hurt his feelings but you cant handle his stench. Let him know and if he cares about you hell scrub his ***! lol.
ewwww.. I totally understand!! lol





It really sucks...and how do you tell them?? YOU JUST TELL THEM!!!





Tell him to put some deodorant on or your out...shooooot





Nothing worse then smelly pits around your neck..





Good Luck
First Of all Hun..? Why Would You Start Dating a Guy With Bad Hygiene..


that is so disgusting! You should Just Tell him He smells!
Be nice when you tell him. He may be self conscious. Ask him if he would like something like Axe or getting a deodorant soap. I think it is self-respect if a guy takes care of himself.
tell him to take a shower. if he can't take care of himself then what can he do to take care of you if the time comes.
I'd want my gf to tell me if I smelled bad because it doesn't take two seconds to apply a coat of deoderent. You could always febreeze spray him too. That has happened to me before
Give him some deodorant, and tell him you like that smell
Just tell him the truth! He will understand if he really likes you! Just make sure you dont go too rough on him :)
tell him he smells. he wont take it to bad. he'll get some deodorant or somethinn.
Either break up with him or just tell him that he smells! That's disgusting...
