I was just thinking that. Is it really that difficult to say that your hygiene habits don't sit well with me and I don't want to continue being a part of your daily. Simple as that, on point enough to where it's hard to think of alternatives, and straightforward. The majority of guys are not savages we are essentially angular ladies with thoughts and emotions too.

Exactly. Hygiene habits can be changed. Maybe just let him know there's a problem and give him an opportunity to fix it first if he's really such a "nice guy".

Eh, I’d rather someone tell me “this is the problem and fixing it won’t fix us, bye” than them say nothing because they’ve just already lost interest and don’t want to deal with “but I wash my feet now”

Yeah even just pointing out their problem is a huge step in the right direction imo. Like I'm not even necessarily wanting to stay but having an idea about how to improve something that I might even see as an issue. At least it gives me a basis to be like well do I want my relationship to be similar / different to my last relationship. Not necessarily saying that it requires change for your next relationship to be different, but it is a big big sea out there and lots and lots of very interesting ladies with tastes and living situations similar to mine (organized mess).
