This is it gals. The zillion dollar question. Would you rather run into a man or a bear in the woods?

[Heyo]

Well, that's quite scientific not.

Let's make it a bit more scientific. There surely are statistics about bear attacks on women in the woods, and on attacks by men on women in the woods.
I'm too lazy to look them up, but I have a feeling that the women fearing encounters with men more than encounters with bears have a reason.

In Abbruzzo there's the Marsican bear.
My best friend once chased one because she wanted to pet him.
It's useless ...he ran away at the speed of light.
So,...whenever I hear stories about the European brown bear being dangerous and deadly, I am weirded out.
Maybe they are dangerous when you attack them?

An older woman seeking younger men is referred to as a cougar.
However if she has no money, luxury car or nice house, she isn't a cougar... She's a stray cat

But...
I actually like feisty.

I have a feeling that more women are attacked by men than are attacked by bears.
At least in the woods.
And the city.


But at least after being attacked by a bear a woman is not forced to carry its child.

I'm too lazy to look it up too. The thing is, as a "study" goes, this one sucks. Seven women on TikTok or whatever - wow.

I suppose I would ask why the scenario is asking about the woods. I don't know if there are stats comparing attacks by men on women in the woods as opposed to attacks by men on women in populated areas, but I have a feeling that the latter would be a much larger number.

Anyway, it would seem that a scientific approach would be for someone to acquire a map, compass, and get as much information as possible from the closest forest ranger before venturing into unknown woods, so that one doesn't get caught in some "lost in the forest" scenario to begin with. Every so often, one hears of these "lost hiker" stories where a great deal of effort and expense has to be incurred to rescue them from their own stupidity and lack of planning. Even worse are those who start fires to signal for help - and end up starting big forest fires.

Another issue with a scenario like this is that people answer them while they're still sitting in comfort. What if you're out lost in the woods, your cellphone has died, you're out of food, and it's after dark and you have no survival skills in the wilderness. Would you rather run into a bear or a forest ranger?

You would be right, and the number of bear attacks would be much lower.

I would be shocked if most American women would rather run into a bear, if the man in question were Leonardo Di Caprio.

I and my female friends would do anything to run into Leo...in a very isolated and dark wood...

This American woman doesn't find him attractive in the least.

Still, I'd rather run into him than a bear. I'd give him the same polite nod that I do the rest of them.

Hm. Maybe, if I do ever run into a bear, I'll try the polite nod and just keep walking...

 

[Estro Felino]

Interesting. I still recall the infinite number of women here who went to watch Titanic just for Leo, they couldn't care less about the ship sinking.

Neither does this British woman.

Numerous, but I wouldn't say infinite.

 

[Estro Felino]

Seriously...guys...have we gone mad?
Who is the heterosexual woman who would rather run into a bear, than into that pretty host of the video?
Mmmm...nice guy...

 

[Estro Felino]

There's something that comes to mind...right now...

 

[Viker]

I've encountered both in the woods. It went well.

Leo was in that? I just went for the sinking part. I think I was only one of about three who cheered it on. It was probably that incident why they stopped running it on the local IMAX theater.

 

[VoidCat]

Im not a woman but...Depends on the man and the bear and if either mean me harm.

I will say i understand why women would prefer the bear. At least if a bear attacks no one would say she was asking for it

‘Bear or man’ question divides internet after viral TikTok video

A hypothetical question has gone viral after sparking a conversation about women's safety. Screenshot HQ, a TikTok account, started the debate by asking a group of women whether they would rather run into a man they didn't know or a bear in the forest. Out of the seven interviewed for the piece...

www.yahoo.com

Oh my!

I suspect that the respondents are a self-selected group.
Those who'd care to answer such a question would be
fearful of men, or would see this answer as opportunity
to comment that men are dangerous....even more so
than bears.

 

[VoidCat]

This meme popped up on my Facebook a couple days ago

The question has been blowing up all over Facebook.

What if the bear was once a man who now identifies as a bear?
