"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

That's what happens when you drive too fast. Life is not a movie.

I was thinking about this, but after hearing about what witnesses heard, it may not have been him driving. The vehicle he drive was a rear engined Porsche, which tend to make inexperienced drivers slide out of control easier (he left with another person with the intention of taking a five minute drive, it is speculated it wasn't Walker driving).Malice said:
Porsches in general mostly have their own little quirks drivers need to be aware of, such as the 944's tendency to hydroplane at the slightest bit of water on the road.
I'd like to see who was actually behind the wheel. The witnesses said they heard the engine rev up way high and then the crash. Had Walker been driving, I'm sure he wouldn't have allowed the engine to rev up that high. I may be wrong though.
And despite they douchey characters he played on film, off-screen he was a pretty good guy. Had his own charity, never really did any of that dysfunctional crap most stars get into.
RIP dude.
Oh and guys, if you want to drive fast, do it on the track. Imagine if his vehicle his someone on the street. The track is more fun anyway.

Life is very much a movie. Everyone lives it different. In other words to each his own. If I throw any more cliches might have to write the next blockbuster. All I need is another writers strike.Malice said:
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Celebrities have the money for fast exotic cars but usually not the training and experience to drive them.

As I said before, most Porches have quirks that need to be addressed. The one that was involved in this accident had a tendency to spin out from the rear end due to engine placement.

Sounds like you're thinking of the 911 with it's aft engine pendulum effect. The CGT is simply a 610hp beast that is notorious for losing traction if one is not absolutely judicious with the throttle application. Even Walter Röhrl found the CGT scary calling it "one of the most dangerous cars on the road".Vice said:
This seems like a pretty simple case of two guys screwing around and the CGT bit them bad. Not the first time, and won't be the last.

I loved the all wheel drive in my old Stealth. It was very forgiving. AWD just seems like a superior design altogether.

It's too bad. One minute you're a super stud living the dream, then in an instant it's all gone. Enjoy it while you can.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
