What would you do/say if your person of interest 😻 has BO?

I have had this happen, and it was a big turn off. Smell is one of the subtle yet very important things that draws us to a person. For me, I hate to say it’s a dealbreaker but it kind of is, and not really one that can be helped at all unless they’ve got some kind of dietary issue or way of fixing it. Even deodorant doesn’t really solve it because the scent is still there underneath and you can tell.
The other thing about this is because it’s such a personal and usually non-modifiable thing, I’m too embarrassed to let them know that it’s an issue. That’s my bad but I don’t really know what to do about that. I feel really bad if I had to tell someone that they smelled bad.

[justabuddy]

So, did you want to shower together? ... slap

[Pinay_ako]

Smooooth 😂

[Smiling_Baby21]

If bad odor is what's being talked about, then I can say one thing...
I don't compromise when it comes to my partner's personal hygiene... I look at the ears to see that they're free of the ear wax, eyes free if the morning glory, armpits well kempt and their nails not dirty.
Because to me, that matters so much.

[DizzyDesii]

Invite them for a bubble bath. And then for an oil massage containing different oils and body lotions... If the scent is still strong after that, I’d find an excuse to end things by the end of the week

[Pinay_ako]

🤣 scrub them hard

[Avicenna]

You wouldn't say anything, you'd just lose interest

[AviatorTom]

I would politely let them know... and offer suggestions for rectifying it.

[nolabels]

I said something about it, once, as gently as I could. A shit-storm of crying by her was the result.

Against all odds, we still married and have been married now for 30 years. It's been a pretty shit marriage, overall.

Apparently, I was an asshole for trying to deal with her BO by suggesting that we take a shower together.

She wouldn't leave me alone until I told her the f'ing truth about her BO. Tears, more tears, even more tears. OMG. Tears, tears, tears!

I missed so many red flags!

If I had it to do over, I'd have kept my mouth shut and moved on with my life without her.

Still, she's been at least a somewhat supportive partner as the years pass. I give credit where it's due. She has credit coming to her.

[BoopBoopBeep]

Depends... you mean "right now" or "in general, all the time"

[Pinay_ako]

Rn or both 😂

[BoopBoopBeep]

Right now... If there's a legit reason like she's been working out (though normally I like THAT smell) or hasn't brushed her teeth yet I just give her a wide berth until it gets fixed... if it's chronic, I'm just going to tell her. There may be something medically wrong that needs to be addressed.

I have never had that problem, most East Asians have a mutation that makes their sweat not smelly at all. So they literally smell like a candy.

[Decoded93]

@lafemmefatale_1 I heard about that but I was never with an East Asian so I never experienced it

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

@Decoded93 Yep, that’s the truth. East Asians don’t smell at all. They have no body scents.

Deodorants are usually not sold here, unless you search hard enough.

I mean they have their body scent but it’s not from the sweat. Their sweat has no scent at all.

[Decoded93]

@lafemmefatale_1 that would be cool, if I had a girlfriend I'd take her camping for days in that case ahaha how do you feel about the natural scent of European descended dudes?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I am not East Asian, I am Georgian.

[Decoded93]

Ahh then I misunderstood lol Georgia is a beautiful country, I'd love adventuring around there, and Georgian women are some of the best but I heard they're hard to date

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

@Decoded93 Georgians are hard to date? How so

[Decoded93]

@lafemmefatale_1 I heard Georgian women are very traditional and also picky about who they see, and they only do relationships so no friends with benefits or the kind dating they do in the west, but that's only what I heard, I don't know if it's true

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

@Decoded93 Yep that’s true.

[Decoded93]

@lafemmefatale_1 that's cool, I really appreciate that but also I'm a sucker for "bad girls" :P

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

@Decoded93 Cool. Good luck with that.

[RavVid]

Women have a natural sugar and spice pheromone. I might like it. I certainly sniff breasts and have sniffed female armpits.

[asphaltrhymes]

I'd politely mention it or offer to share a shower together with her if she's my girlfriend lol 🤣😆

[asphaltrhymes]

Or just tactfully drop hints of gee something smells 😜

[asphaltrhymes]

Gifting deodorant may seem weird on my part or too direct on my part. It's all daydreams anyhow ahahaha

[Jazzy54]

I would no longer be interested. 🤢 Having good hygiene is important to me.

[DaddyDiablo]

Babe shower that stank ass frfr lol I don't know just depends lol but I never really have to worry about it

[RHK36]

I'd roast the fuck outta them. People should know better. If she can't handle the truth or jokes then she ain't it either way.

[Sparkie460]

Tell them to take a shower and put deodorant on. That's what I would say the first time. If there's a second time I would not see them again

[Iron_Man]

Girls don’t have body odor they’re too professional they do something about it

[Andres77]

Give him a Thai deodorant stone.

[Andres77]

Have you ever use one of these?

[Pinay_ako]

No. But in the Philippines we have lugod or tawas

[Andres77]

It’s a mineral stone that when you rub it on your skin, the mineral residue inhibits the bacterial growth that causes body odor. It can be used anywhere on the body.. primarily it’s under the arms, but I’ve used it in other, potentially stinky places as well, and it was quite effective for a day

[Pinay_ako]

Yes that’s the tawas

[Andres77]

👍👍👍

[TooHot2Care]

Walk in the other direction and hope I don't get sexually assaulted. . . . Again. -_-. . . .

[msc545]

I woul suggest we swim or shower together.

[Pinay_ako]

Swimming ain’t taking the BO away

[msc545]

I guess you don't swim much.

[Pinay_ako]

No but how can swimming take the BO away?

[msc545]

Water is a solvent.

[Fireguy17]

I would talk to them a out it.
No problem.

[SadyConfused1998]

I don't know

[Pinay_ako]

So you’ll just deal with his BO in silence?

[SadyConfused1998]

The only guy I was with turned out to be gay

[Grond21]

We would talk about it

[shades777]

you give them a mint as a hint

[dragoblack]

"Sorry dude, but you smell rancid/rank"

[exitseven]

You stink

[Lauliss]

What is BO?

[nawtee_me]

Body Oder
