What Would You Say – How Does She Get Him to Smell Better?

What Would You Say is a regular feature on the Y-105FM Early Morning Show. Listeners send me questions, they're asking for help, and this week, she wants to know how to help her man NOT smell bad.

Today's note came from our Facebook page...

Hey, James! I love your show...I love that you came back to us from Idaho. I used to come out to Rookies and even won the limo a few times. PLEASE don't use my name.

I am dating a man who is wonderful in most all ways. He is fun, easy-going, helpful, just always there for me, and I do like him a lot. However, there is something bothering me, and I don't know how to address the situation. I am totally serious here. He has a smell to him that is not appealing. His house smells funny also.

I can't really explain the smell, but it is not a good one. I don't know if it is the house smell rubbing off onto him, or lack of fabric softener and home fragrance, or just why this smell is there.

I bought him cologne, and he does wear it, but it doesn't overpower the other smell. It isn't body odor, and yes, he does shower, it's nothing like that. I'm just really kinda stumped on what the smell is or where it's coming from. How do I address this without hurting or offending him?

I am being dead honest and would like to figure out a solution, as he is a wonderful guy.

I would really appreciate you airing this and finding some helpful answers. I would like to be kept anonymous, but will be listening in to hear results.Thank you very much, I really appreciate you taking the time to help me.

Well, what would you say?
