How To Impress Women
Like most men, I have reflected on occasion over the best way to impress the opposite sex - but the various strategies involved always seem quite mundane:
Being kind and considerate
Working on your feminine side
Having a good sense of humour
Doing fun and interesting things together
Remembering always to raise the seat before using the toilet
So I have to admit I've never deamed of arranging for a knife-wielding assailant to jump out from behind the bushes - and scare the living daylights out of a potential girlfriend - for the purpose of impressing the said girlfriend at my willingness to do battle over her honour and her life.
Yet that is exactlywhat a 26-year olf man from Arkansas - Jeffrey Styler Siegel - did recently in an effort to win the heart of a young woman he wanted to date - Brianne Coots.
Jeffrey (clearly not the brightest button in the box) enlisted the help of of a friend with his cunning plan - and staged the attack while out walking one evening.
According to the police, Jeffrey and his companion were walking in a city park when suddenly a man dressed in black and brandishing a large knife came out of the woods.
The "assailant" told Siegel, "You can go, but your girlfriend stays."
Brianne ran off terrified, losing a shoe in the process and phoned the police - who found Jeffrey with a few scratches on his arms when they arrived, but no knife and no attacker.
As their investigations continued the police, Jeffrey finally spilled the beans - admitting that his superficial injuries were self-inflicted and that the knife wielding thug was a good friend.
Police Officer Branscum noted in his report:
"He said that he really liked (the woman) and was trying to date her. He felt that if he did something like this it would help him with his chances with her. He said he contacted a friend … a couple of days prior and staged a fake attack."
The incident is now closed, but just to show that some good came out of it - Brianne Coots has said that she wants nothing more to do with Jeffrey Siegel - and never wants to speak to him again.
