I recently received an email from a girl asking me for help breaking up with her boyfriend. I made this video as a tool for her, and anyone in a similar situation. ;)

Happy 1st day of July! July might be my favorite month of the year, partially because of how much I love Independence Day.

Normal guys can seem anything but normal when they are on a mission to meet a girl. Here's why you might seem creepy.

Why 'Kamuke'? Because my name is Cameron and I play the ukulele (or uke). The 'K' just makes it sound slightly more Hawaiian Smiling

My other nicknames include 'C-ron' and 'Casbah', as in "Rock The..."

i think if i had a girlfriend that called me any of those names i'd find it very hard to keep a straight face...especially if they called me 'daddy'...unless of course i was a dad!
i can't really see how 'handsome' could constitute as a nickname but more of just a nice comment about your appearence Pirate <- like this pirate (no i don't really think a small pirate face could be associated with the word but there you go)
the only nickname i've ever been given was Cliff, purely because it was the last guy who had my job and some people are too lazy to learn a new name...so Cliff is just as easily taken as Jon (which is my name) i kinda loose either way and only the small minority of people that call me cliff (none of whom are on Facebook) would understand.

I don't think I would have a problem getting Joe436 on Facebook. What are the odds that there are that many Joes without nicknames. Either way the one I really want is SparkleBunny. Just one problem. I don't have a Facebook account.

I feel obligated to post a question, even though I am a guy so I don't need guest guys' opinion. I just can't think of anything. How about: If you were a guy and you had the opportunity to ask Brigitte's guy friends advice on relationships, what would you ask?

Best I could come up with, sorry.

I think if I was a little less lazy and little more of a jerk, I would sign up for as many names as I could think of and then just put for sale signs up on them.

Not too creative with my own online names, as you can obviously see here. My mission is to try to grab it for facebook. On the flip side, that can lead to a lot of spam since I have a very common name.

I have to get up at 6 or so tomorrow, so we'll see if I actually stay up to claim my space on fb, haha

Nicknames are really fun. They are fun to make up and assign to your friends. It is equally fun to hear the names your friends make up for you.

I like to tease my girlfriend and give her a nicknames to call me. My suggestions are "master", "king" and "your royal highness".

Will there be a video on how to make an item of clothing from the excess material from the beginning of the video?

My nickname is "Jetski" and I got it from a man named Bob, interestingly enough. And I call HIM Bobert. So. There you go.

Love your commentary on the "things men like to be called" thing! The only one I've used is "Tiger" and I say it like, "Woah, tiger" in instances which I shall not mention on ABC Family, even if it IS the new kind of family. Angel

In regard to the question to ask - I'd like to know if I am a horrible person because I am no longer friends with ANYONE I was friends with seven years ago? Don't care if a boy answers it, per say.

I don't think you are a horrible person for not keeping the same friends around for 7 years ago. There are so many reasons that people lose touch with each other. You could have moved or no longer share the same interests.
