Okay. I have a friend. Actually, he's one of my best friends, and well, he has SERIOUS body odor.
The other day, he smelled SO FREAKING BAD that I could smell him when he was like 3 feet away from me. Then he gave me a hug, and I almost died.
I mean he's a cool guy and all, but geez...he has TERRIBLE hygiene.

Today, he stuck his hand in my boyfriend's bag of funyons (?), and it smelled so bad afterwards, that my bf just gave it to him cause he couldn't stand the scent.

The problem: Well, he likes this girl, right? And he keeps asking me advice..like "How do I get her to like me?" and I just wanna scream out... "TAKE A SHOWER ONCE IN A WHILE. THAT'S HOW. Oh and maybe shave once in a while too."
Because seriously, he's a nice guy....he just has really bad hygiene.
How do I tell him without hurting his feelings?

Hm. If he's really one of your best friends, you should have no problems telling him "Dude, you stink. Take a shower." That's the great thing about having close friends - you can be blunt and tell them the truth without worrying about them thinking you're rude.

But if you really, really don't want to tell him directly like that, tell him that one of the main things that attract girls to guys isn't their physical appearance but their scent. And buy him some cologne and soap. Maybe he'll get the picture.
