BO and other Deal Breakers

Today's topic ain't pretty friends...

The other day a friend asked me for some advice. He wanted to know how he could best break it to a female friend that she had BO. He was particularly concerned because this friend of his is a single female who desperately wants to find her soul mate. Clearly, having BO is a deal breaker for many folks, whether male or female.

His question got us to discussing deal breakers in general. We all have our own beliefs as to what constitutes a deal breaker. Some are more common than others. In addition to BO, another top deal breaker that women exhibit, (I have to believe) is having a moustache. (Easy solution ladies, Sally Hansen Cream Hair Remover for the Face.) How is it that women don't recognize these things as the deal breakers that they are? Is there some sort of self-smell protection that shields those with BO from knowing that they're kickin'?

Apparently this female friend of my male friend doesn't utilize any hair removal techniques under her arms either. (He's noticed it at the gym.) We surmised that the under arm hair can only be detrimental to the said BO problem. Further, the under arm hair, in and of itself, could only be, yet another, deal breaker -yes?

Honestly people, we didn't come up with any gentle approach for letting this woman know that she is laden with deal breakers. As embarrassing as it may be though, I told my friend that if it was me, I would want to know. It's like when you've got something in your teeth, wouldn't you rather be told than to have conversations with 5 different people before seeing yourself in the mirror with parsley stuck all up in your grill?
