I literally expanded on my reasons in the other reply.
There are literally a bunch of posts from other people explaining their reasons for preferring random bear as well.
The fact that a random man can be told multiple times "I don't know you well enough to be comfortable with this," with explanations, and they will still respond with "there's no way you actually mean the words you are saying" is a big contributing factor.
What do you think will happen if you tell the bear you arnt comfortable with being attacked
It's very possible to communicate to a bear that you aren't threatening them and that you aren't prey or worth attacking. I recommend looking up "what to do if you encounter a bear in the woods."
It seems to be very difficult to communicate to you that I would be uncomfortable encountering you alone in the woods.
So yes, the bear is probably a better listener.
Cool. But I really think your reasons are complete bullshit.
Like take your last paragraph, you actually think that because some men don't listen to reasonable arguments you would rather be with a violent and wild animal that is physically incapable of listening to reason?
Seriously you're either actually insane or you're just bullshiting to try and prove a point that you've already committed to without actually thinking it through.
No, that's why I'd rather be with the bear.
You seem to be really angry about some rando's opinion on a hypothetical situation. That's not normal.
Bears generally aren't violent unless you threaten them. People survive seeing bears in the woods all the time, and once they are out of that situation they generally don't have to worry that the bear is stalking them.
I'm not angry, I'm incredulous that you either think I'm dumb or you're completely braindead. There's a difference.
I absolutely 1,000,000 guarantee people survive seeing men more often than they survive seeing a bear.
And we're moving the goalposts. Note how the article, and my post, specified in the woods and you have changed the situation to include: In public. Places with good lighting. Lots of people around. Easy access to law enforcement. People you personally know (and therefore not random).
I absolutely 1,000,000 guarantee people get attacked by men more often than they get attacked by bears.
I didn't change the situation? You're literally just making shit up now.
Where did I say in public?where did I say around people you know? Nowhere. because you know your argument is stupid but you don't have the balls to just admit you're wrong so instead you literally have to accuse me of making shit you randomly made up just so you have something you can actually argue back against.
Please for the love of God, do us all a favour and go back to reddit, you'll be in better company there.
Says the guy who just typed a series of Ad Hominem attacks instead of an argument because you know you disagree with me but can't present a reasonable reason why.
All of your needless insults do not convince me that I'm better off encountering you in the woods than a bear. If you have no interest in what I have to say you can simply not reply. You can even block me if I offended you so much.
Crying "ad hominin" only works if you're making an actual argument.
If you're literally just saying random bullshit that no one, not even yourself, thinks is true, then when you're called out on that literally just completely making up an argument for me that I never actually said, so you can have something to argue against.
THEN when youre called out on that part, you completely ignore it and just cry about how im not engaging your horseshit how you want me to.
And no, im not going to block you just yet. Because I'm interested to see if you actually have enough of a spine to acknowledge you're just lying and making up random shit or if you're going to try pulling off some more insane mental gymnastics to try and trick yourself into thinking you're not a loser.
Oh yes, you've definitely done such a great job listening to what's being said, let me spend more time explaining things to you. Your approval is so important to me that this would be a good use of my time...
It would take less time to just admit you're an idiot and a loser that makes shit up to try and win internet arguments than it would to keep whining like this...
