Man fakes knife attack to impress date

A man arranged for his friend to attack him and his date with a knife – in a desperate bid to impress her.

But the stunt backfired after she vowed never to speak to him again.

Police were told that the couple were set upon by a man wielding a large knife as they took a spring stroll in a forest park in the US state of Arkansas.

How big is this guys inferiority complex that he felt the only way to impress his date was to get his mate to attack them with a knife, and then stage a simulated heroic struggle to make him look tough.

Let’s, for a moment, look at what would have happened if it had worked, and a few months later he introduces her to his friends and she goes hang on a minute I recognise him from somewhere, oh yeah he was the one who attacked us with a knife.

Also if it had worked what would he have tried next, would he have set fire to her house and tried to rescue her from the blaze, or pushed her in a river and dived in after her only to forget he can’t swim?

This woman has had a lucky escape in more ways than one.
