The man or bear hypothetical (2 Viewers)

because their feelings are hurt, that's why
i know you were joking, but it's mostly true.
some here are making it sound like this hypothetical is in a self defense or combat situation, that's not even close to what was asked.
actually the OP used the word alone, not stuck.

i will still say that if given the choice, if my daughter went hiking alone and i was asked would you rather a bear be in the woods or a strange(r) man be in the woods, i would choose the bear. the chance of her even crossing paths with the bear is slim to none, and even if she does, changes are more likely the bear just goes about his business.
maybe that's because I've been camping many times in the Ozark Mountains and have seen bears multiple times and they never raised an eyebrow..
also only 13% of bear attacks are fatal

They really should have thrown a pig into the mix, so we could have ManBearPig.

This is it.

This is the reason this thread exists.

I'm fairly certain men who describe themselves as bears aren't interested in her digits.

Sometimes you get the bar and sometimes the bar gets you.

He did, after they all got stuck in the booth.
