Man vs Bear | "Why Men Are More Dangerous Than Bears" 

All I got from this is, I’m more dangerous than a fuxking bear, it was time somebody acknowledged it

Everyone asks why a woman would be in the forest with a bear over a man, but has anyone asked the bear if they wanted to be alone with a woman?

All this talk about which is worse, and nobody is asking or addressing the biggest threat of all in the forest. Manbearpig.

She really said "You're assuming all men are like you." while she's assuming all men are not like him. This so clearly shows the problem with generalizations.

I asked my bear about that, and he responded, 'As a bear, I am offended. 😤'

There was a story of a young girl that ran into 7 men in the woods. They gave her a place to stay, fed her and sang songs while they worked. Dwarves, I think they called them. Ironically, she was running away from a woman. 😂😂😂😂😂

It's weird how every time we hear stories about women getting attacked in public, we always hear "where were the men to help?". The real question that never gets asked is where the hell were the bears?

The answers are framed more like “Would you rather be in the woods with a bear or get SA’d.” Which like what a terrible question.

Every video ive seen of women/children lost in the woods, they are ecstatic when they see a man cuz they realize they have a chance at life. You think theyd have that reaction to a bear? All in all, the conversation is important, womens safety is a valid concern but this example is incredibly stupid & if men were out here claiming women are lesser than literal animals they would be having a field day (justifiably so). Have these talks, inform people about dangers but no need to use super inflamattory language, certainly dont use it & then be shocked when folks are inflammed about it.

Actually, a black woman made a great point on TikTok. If a woman was walking down the street she would walk right past a man like it was nothing. If that same woman was walking down the street and saw a bear coming at her even if it wasn't being aggressive, there is no amount of convincing that would stop her from crossing that street and running away.

This question is another way of saying men are guilty until proven innocent

"At least the bear sees you as a human being." I don't know who taught these women what bears are like, but I'm thinking it was Disney.

Best comment I've seen from this whole situation: "These women think every guy is Epstein, and every bear is Paddington."

Natural selection bout to go crazy

"The bear sees me as a human." Someone grew up with too much Disney

As a woman, I hate this trend...its too vague and reeks of disingenuous $exism... it's just so weird.

I deadass saw one on insta asking the man or bear question The reply was: “Depends which one is black”

Women: "I'd pick the bear." The bear a few minutes later: "man, this is the whiniest lunchable."

"The worst a bear can do is kill me* Yea, except they'll kill you by eating you alive. They go for those fatty organs, the ones in your abdomen. Good lord, lmfao.

Women like to say "it says a lot that we choose the bear" it does but not the way they think it does, says a lot about how they generalise and their prejudice, not about how dangerous men are as a whole.

People automatically think of all the bad things other people do. They never think about the good things people do. How many random men have saved complete strangers?

The husband made a good point : what can the bear do if it doesn't eat your daughter ? The bear will leave her alone at best but can't help her in anyway so she's probably gonna die no matter what

The male version of "man vs. Bear" is "would you rather tell your feelings to a woman or a brick wall". That one went viral for a minute too.😂

Imagine thinking an 800 pound killing machine is a safer option than a human being

Years ago I was saved by a random man in the woods (picture being a 20 something year old woman with little hiking experience lost in the mountains in total darkness).. I was so relieved that it was a human and not a bear that I came across that night.

“This is not Hollywood, the bear won’t take the child in and the child won’t become Tarzan”.

As an Alaskan who has encountered a bear in the wild I can share my experience. The bear didn't really care how much noise I made. I was being very loud, yelling, banging clam shovels together, waving lit flares. The bear barely cared at all. It was in that moment I realized I am at the bear's mercy. I tried to act calm but I'm telling you I damn near needed to change my underwear. I have also encountered men in the woods. Never been scared of hunters and hikers. While the scales are in the man's favor you can still win that encounter. You are not winning against a bear, period. If they want to eat you they will and you will be alive when they start.

Speaking as a woman.. i find it an absolutely ridiculous question.

The percentage of Bears that would kill the child is so astronomically higher than men that would harm them it’s not even a debate. Love the switch up to comparing to black men. The internet is so stupid.

There's a guy who survived a prolonged grizzly mauling. The bear literally pealed this guys face off with a single swat. He described the bones of his skull being crunched as sounding like ice cracking. He felt its teeth puncturing scraping the bones of his spine and being hurled 6 feet when it whipped its head. He felt his flesh being ripped off as the bear gnawed on his flesh while he was still conscious. He somehow managed to gauge at the bear and get it to retreat. He had to gather the flesh that was pealed off his face and skull, wrap it back into place with his t shirt and limp for 12 kms to a camp ground. Yea, choose a fucking bear, and keep your misandry away from those of us men that are loving fathers and husbands

New trend: Would you rather be alone in a gym and come across a woman filming, or a king cobra?

"The bears see me as a human being" is a pretty silly thing to read out loud.

I’ve been raped, molested and through domestic violence. I get it. I’m on medication and therapy to deal with that trauma. As a security guard who actually has some posts in the literally isolated in the woods. ( I do security on movie and tv shows sets) I don’t automatically feel threatened when I see a random person (man) unless he’s being weird. And I actually been in that scenario. Interestingly enough, we actually had a long pleasant conversation. I found out the next day that he gotten in an altercation with some of the male crew members and threatened them. I was shocked because he was nothing but nice to me. It might’ve been because as a guard, who doesn’t like drama, try not to be rude to people and let them know what’s going on and for the most part people are understanding and go on about their business. I haven’t necessarily been around bears knowingly, but coyotes and while in Louisiana snakes and alligators. I definitely choose the man.

"There are fates worse than death" Yeah like being mauled by a fcking bear

Remember Men, if you happen across a Woman in the woods who's encountered a Bear, quietly turn around and go back the way you came so you don't make her feel uncomfortable. She'd rather experience how Mama Bear demonstrates what happens when a Human Female makes HER feel uncomfortable around her Cubs play area 🏃 🌲🌲🌲🏕 🙅‍♀️ 🐻

It always really bothers me when they film their boyfriends/husbands with no context and then insult their response and throw it up on social media for clout.

People have no clue how brutal it is to be torn apart by a bear...

There’s a saying about bears: if it’s brown Lie down, if it’s black fight back, if it’s white goodnight

"The worst thing a bear can do is kill me. "...actually sometimes they just rip your face and arms off.

"not all men are like you" Yeah and not all men are rapists either. I can't believe she was really trying to get her husband to change his answer when he gave a reasonable response in favor of the man

Nah whats disrespectful is for all these women to feel like of left alone in the woods with a man that 100% of the men will do 100% of women harm, SA them, or something worse. Me personally I'm tryna figure out how the fk we getting out of these woods cause my black a$$ don't do the woods.

I’ve been saying “ if you see me fighting a bear, you better help the bear “ for years. it’s about time y’all acknowledged how dangerous I am.

If a child is missing, would they rather want a search party of men looking for them or a pack of bears? I don’t believe we actually have to ask these intellectually dishonest questions.

The problem with the way they're thinking is its as if the man was 100% a sexual predator. When in reality 100% of bears are killers. Edit. So many people are arguing the amount if bears who kill people. My point is the bear can't distinguish you between a deer or any other animal and all bears have killed for food.

As a woman I'm so tired of these kind of conversations. Yes I've had moments in my life I felt uneasy around a man but never to the point I would choose a bear over a man. The same women screaming and running away from a bear would happily run into the arms of a man they saw in the woods to help save them. I dont care what anyone says this is just ridiculous and another attack on men.

I'm pretty sure men have saved women lost in the woods more times than a bear...

If ya'll dudes come across a woman in the wood getting attacked by a bear just walk the other way, you need to respect their wishes lmao.

So, your child is lost in the woods and you're telling me you'd rather pick the bear who will either leave them to die or kill them for food vs a man who can actually get them to safety? Smart. Edit: Dear Lord, the sheer amount of women in the comments confidently saying the man is only there to abduct/assault the child is absolutely insane. People, please understand that there are far more reasons for men to be in the forest than just looking for a random kid to abduct/assault, such as hiking, hunting, camping, or if a body of water is nearby, fishing. The latter are much more likely to be the ones who run into the kid than some rando pedo by virtue of statistical probability. Again, as crazy as this may sound to some of you, the overwhelming majority of us are *not* predators, we're just normal people living normal lives. Please chill. Also, if there was a pandemic of pedos out there like some of you suggest, they probably won't be looking for kids in a place where there's barely any of them. Just saying, the people who are more likely to do harm to these children are much more likely to be in their elementary schools than in the woods.

"If you ever see me in the forest fighting with a Grizzly Bear, HELP THE BEAR!!!"---Kobe Bryant

It's a gaslighting question that just gives an excuse to trauma dump. Tf is all that family reunion bs 😂

If you pick man: have a chance of fighting him off, maybe not a high chance, but you have a 0% chance of fighting off a bear. You could possibly outrun the man, can't outrun a bear, they go about 35mph. You could hide from a man, bears can smell you from miles away. You could climb a tree and escape, bears can climb trees extremely well. And this is if the man wants to attack you which if you wanna be extreme, you could say 30% of men for an extreme number, but 70% is still higher than 0% with the bear unless it's not hungry. Also, you live next to men, not bears. Start living in the wild where you're walking past bears everyday and you're chances of attack will be pretty high. Women in NYC walk past 10s of 1000s of men every day and maybe 20 will say something. This whole argument is made by people who probably have never seen a bear and don't even know how tall they are, let alone how fucking ruthless bears are. A grizzly will put it's 800 pounds on your body while it eats you alive. I agree with Aba saying it's okay to say you don't feel safe around random strangers, most people understand that some people are fucking crazy no matter what gender/sex. Imagine saying you'd rather be alone in a meeting room with a Bengal Tiger, than a women because I'd rather die than be accused falsely

Imagine thinking you met the woman of your life, you marry her, and then you find out she thinks you're a bad person for picking the man option

The bear sees me as a human being. A bear has no moral compass.

Let the record show that all individuals answering the hypothetical question currently live in cities with dozens of strange men and no bears…

Being trapped in the woods with a bear is the plot of a movie. The man equivalent is being trapped with a deranged hockey mask wearing psycho, who can teleport and is unkillable.

This whole debate has literally everyone jumping to the worst-case scenario when it comes to men. The assumption is men are objectively evil when left alone with a woman. This is painfully untrue as men are more inclined to be instinctively protective, not destructive. The bear will act on instinct alone, and you are more likely to die by the bear in every scenario. Even if things go south with a man, your chances of survival are increased. Pretty sure unless we women are strapped with weapons, we are losing to the bear 99% of the time. But what do I know-- I'm just a woman who has never been faced with either one alone in the woods.

I get it but to us it does come off as dehumanizing when women say "we want to be seen as human not animals" and then turn around and compare you to a bear

HOW MANY MEN DOES AN AVERAGE WOMAN WALK PAST IN A DAY THAT SHE COMPLETELY IGNORES? NOW LETS SEE HOW MANY BEARS YOU CAN PASS.

Bear is not a tiger. It doesnt kill before eating. Bear is strong enought to just pin you down and start eating your legs or pulling your guts out of your body while you alive and screaming. This shit is wild

I asked my 13-year-old daughter that question when she came home from school she said it's a dumb question and whoever picked to be in the woods with the bear is an idiot

I asked my girlfriend this question and her answer was "A man, because if he tries something, I can fight against him and have a chance of winning". The problem for me is the victim mentality of these people.

As a woman, I kind of get it. "Atleast we know what to expect from a bear". But the one lady said how maybe some of the bears would leave women alone......but the same exact thing can be said about most men lmao. Literally everyone is different! There are some trash men. And there are some amazing men. I'm not going to treat each man the same based on some illogical assumption. And tbh, I would have a better chance against a man with my weapon than I would with a bear. I get it...but they're doing way too much at this point. And God bless these men who are being asked this question by their spouse and family members. They're literally just thinking about that question in a literal concept...and as they should😂 At this point, this is kind of akin to our womanly signature, "would you still love me if I was an ant?"

So I checked online. This woman turned off the comments because they were cooking her😂. She can't even take accountability

Choosing the bear over the man tells me several things about a person. They may or may not all apply as follows: 1. that person is what I would call terminally online and are not yet self-aware about how this is affecting them. 2. that person has unresolved emotional trauma in their life either with a man, or with men in general. 3. that person wants to be seen as agreeable and "part of the crowd" among their online/social media friends I bet if we took some of these women claiming they would rather face the bear, dropped them in the woods with just the clothes on their back and a phone with a random man's number on it who they do not know, they would almost immediately dial the phone and call for help. They know that when push comes to shove they would proactively reach out to a man for help, but they want to have that cake and tell us to eat shit all the same.

Tbh, this is just a whistle blow question. It's meant to rage bait and another way of saying all men.

"The worst thing a bear can do, is kill you" Incorrect... that is one of the better options. The WORST thing, is you coming out alive torn up and missing limbs.

People who say "bear" instead of "man" might not have ever encountered a bear in the wild. I have encountered several bears in the wild and they are utterly terrifying. I was lucky to escape alive. They run 35+ miles an hour, can kill you in one swipe, and if you run into a mother bear, you might be finished in an instance. I get being threatened by men and I am not a woman, so I can't fully understand. But, wild bears compared to an average man is crazy, in my opinion.

I’m a woman who likes to hike alone in the woods. I usually run across a man, and the worst thing that happened was feeling slightly uneasy for like 10 seconds. If I saw a BEAR on a hike, I would be literally terrified.

The woman asking her husband saying "You're assuming all men are like you"... Well she's assuming all men are sexual predators, why is no-one calling her out?

If I got stranded in a swamp and had to choose between a woman and a crocodile, I would choose the crocodile because they don't fake tears. Drizzle drizzle. 🤣

Bears don't actually see people as prey typically, and most encounters with a bear end without injury. But a child would probably not know to stay calm, not to run away or scream, can't make themselves big and won't be carrying bear spray most likely. I'm still confident you'd have better odds with a man, a bear also won't be able to help a lost child. The way that last lady was just waving away all his attempts to properly weigh the odds it was pretty clear she wasn't interested in reasoning.

"Would you rather come across a man or a bear in the woods alone" "Depends. Is the bear black or is the man black?"

the older I get.. The more I realize why not to take everything on the Internet seriously 😂 You could literally wake up on a Monday to a viral video about "Why men no longer approach women" and on Tuesday you wake up to a viral video about "women prefer to be alone with a bear than a man"

When you OD on woke feminist tik tok content + true crime documentaries:

I'm not a women so I can't say I know how they feel but I do know they have a right to feel scared of man. There was a statistic saying 1 women out of 4 or 5 have been or will get sexily assaulted. Now if I'm women that would be on my mind every single day. Man got to understand this fear starts from when they're kids.

Man vs bear is just gaslighting men into feeling bad for existing. It's not a stranger's job to make you comfortable

I get it. They watched "The Jungle Book", and now they think all bears are Baloo.

This is why women lack any survival instincts. "The worst thing a bear can do is ____ me". No no no no. Being awake while it feasts on your insides. Feeling each and every bite and chew. Not knowing if it will end before you pass out. Then finding out that bears don't always finish their meal. So now you are missing parts..while alive...and hear the marching of every other animal to get the scraps. But you choose the Bear?

What I hate about this "Man vs bear" thing is that it assumes men - in general - are more likely to assault you, than a bear is - in general - to eat you. Their faith in humanity is lower than their faith in wilderness. I bet you, I *bet* that 90% of men would be far more focused in getting you both safely out of the forest, than assaulting you. "Bear vs woman, I'd pick the bear because at least then it'd put me out of my misery rather than b**** at me until I unalive myself"

These women forgot about Pedobear. Best of both worlds!

I'd feel safer around the bear than a woman who gaslights constantly

Wait until they hear about ManBearPig

I understand, why someone may say they choose the bear. What I don't understand is the explanation not being, "I know this is prejudiced and not fair, but here are my reasons why...". And instead it's "this is perfectly rational and acceptable reasonings and whoever feels offended is insecure or an incel".

Someone said the "guy" version of this was: Would you rather tell your feelings to a Tree or a Woman?

And somehow these same women dont care about mixed bathrooms 😂😂😂

Wow. I'm really glad you covered this. Initially, I thought that men who got upset over this were up to no good and genuinely could not understand the pushback. But you guys really broke down why this question is problematic. It's basically showing how women project their traumatic experiences onto this hypothetical man rather than looking at this from a logical perspective. The video with the husband talking about the probabilities of survival for his 13-year-old daughter was really eye opening and made me rethink about my stance. I didn't realize how much of a hidden bias/ prejudice I have when it comes to conversations like this. Anyways, love the commentary. It keeps me grounded and forces me to see things differently.

Let's end this: You have hundreds of interactions with men during your lifetime and the amount of times you got beat and killed by men are close to zero or in most cases "ZERO". You could never have this many interactions with a bear and still survive.

When I was working for the local TV of my country we had a turism type of work, we were supposed to see some waterfalls and we got stuck in the middle of the jungle, literally. I was the only female, 18 years old and other 5 MEN, 27 +. I never felt any type of danger and when I couldn’t walk, one of them put me in his back, I spent more than 11 hours with them and made it home safely. Honestly, I don’t get why there’s so much hate towards men in the western world.

If a woman came across ten different men while taking a hike, she'd think nothing of it. Women cross paths with men all the time. However, if she came across ten different bears while taking a hike, she'd never do that hike again.

Why do people act like most men are sexual predators?

True story. My dad, early 30s, is camping with friends. One of them had a trailer, he is truly an oddball. While night 1 was going along fine, couples and singles all sitting around the campfire, my dad's odd friend slipped away as the sky turned grey and put on his bear costume only he knew of. Everyone is chilling by the fire BUT THEN, from out of the woods a giant hairy mass only illuminated by the fire emerges before them all and releases a roar. Everyone ran, except my dad according to my dad who told me this story. (He said he was just confused opposed to scared... sounds like he is painting himself as the cool one but he was the only one not to get up out of his seat.) Most everyone Bee lines it into the woods in the opposite direction from this "creature of the night." Two of the woman ate dirt, face planted out of hysteria as the men ran away. The woman who especially ate dirt and was screaming on the floor ready to die was pretty pissed seeing her boyfriend completely leave her without even looking back, this was her fiancé. The guy left his wife to be for the non existent bear. That couple broke up, no marriage was gonna happen after that. Which to some extent I think is fair. However if you reverse the gender roles, people would have no pity for a man who tripped and than bitched how his wife to be didn’t come swoop him up, save him, he who is the damsel in distress. I mean yeah, I'd say he's being a bitch. But if you left your girl like that, did what would be find to do if you are the woman, even though it is an unfair double standard, (men are more expendable in the eyes of our evil Patriarchy) I would say he sucks... didn’t show good fight or flight control. My dad's friend very likely broke up that marriage. When he would first invite my dad and who is now my mom, he brought them to a gay bar and considering my dad didn’t know my mom that well yet (was still trying to win her over) he was pissed. My mom didn’t care but it is reasonable to say that was a similar attempt at sabotage. This friend lives with a woman but still never married to this day. Almost happened as he proposed because his other friend (an even more wild oddball, one who will grab your nuts if he likes you) suggested it. Well she eventually backed out of it don't know why. Feel bad for him though as he was pretty much rejected by his mother all his life, only saw the grandma, and the nail in the coffin was this girl he was madly in love with who had his complete trust (he wasn't damaged enough to lose all faith, had faith in her) who turned out to be cheating on him serially with multiple guys. That was it. He was done. Lol. She would even call him like a decade plus later after that bad break up speaking with some interest to get back together but also about how she currently had cancer. I forget what it was he said exactly but I believed it was the C word and "I'm glad. Bye." Ice cold. I could never do that. Part of me wishes I could but nah, I don't wanna be that level of resentful. I mean it isn't like Cancer magically makes what she did any different though. But still, idk it would depend on how bad it is on whether or not I could go "good" plus how bad I was treated. He was treated really really bad.

Funny they thing is they're thinking of the safest bear vs the most dangerous man. And you die in both.

No matter how you put it your chances of survival will always be better with a man. Not every single man will attack you but damn near every bear will. I don't even understand how this is a real topic of discussion. This is coming from a woman who has been SA before.

I’m tired of these stupid social questions being made into serious political opinions. Just stop.

Funny thing is when people did a study and found out that you are more like to be attacked by a man they failed to mention they counted how many instances a women comes into contact with a man and how many times a women comes into contact with a bear, so a maths expert fixed tge equation and found out that the women would be 300 times more likely be attacked by a bear than a man.

Damn, Gym is paying off ngl. We should be proud. Now women think we are more dangerous than bears. Who is next in our hit list? A lion maybe.

There was a response to this challenge where Black women and women of color were asked would they rather be in a conference room with a white woman or white man, and they were all saying a white man.

Leave my daughter in the woofs with a bear or a man? Man. All day everyday. It's the only option that MAY result in me getting my daughter back.

Bottom line: emotional/feelings/vibe-based argument vs logical argument based in statistical probability.

I noticed the women who threw out the question are just wicked and full of vengeance for the men who did wrong in her life and just lumping men altogether.
