Are women lying to themselves and others when they answer bear question.

N-Zoth · 2024-05-04T18:29:01+00:00

This question is unbearable

MongoBobalossus · 2024-05-04T18:28:29+00:00

I can’t believe we’re still doing this lol

pwishall · 2024-05-04T18:35:53+00:00

Can we make a megathread for all this man vs. bear shit?

SecondEldenLord · 2024-05-05T14:13:04+00:00

I love hoe math, big fan of his, but as someone who did met a bear in the woods, trust me when I tell you this: you do not want to meet a bear, even a baby bear, cause it means the mama bear is nearby and they are VICIOUS and UNSTOPPABLE. Bears run up to 35mph, they are excellent climbers and they eat their prey ALIVE. They don't go for the throat like lions or tigers, oh no no no, they are chewing through your bones and meat while you are conscious. Now think about it, even if you are a woman and you meet with a man and he rapes you, no matter how horrible and traumatic rape is, it doesn't compare to being eaten alive, I think people do not comprehend the amount of pain you will be in. I seen women cry over being poked by needles, what will they do if they are chewed on alive?

And I don't think these women are lying, they are just brainwashed by society that most men are creeps and sexual predators and also do not comprehend reality on bow dangerous bears actually are.

OtPayOkerSmay · 2024-05-04T23:28:42+00:00

I think women don't understand how dangerous bears can be. They see tiktoks of cute women in Eastern Europe playing with domesticated bears and in turn think that all bears are these cuddly creatures, which is kind of similar to how they think all men are abusive/violent/cheaters because of a small subset of men.

Give women the REAL choice to encounter 300 men while hiking a thru-hike vs encountering 300 grizzly bears and I guarantee we’d see different results.

neinhaltchad · 2024-05-04T21:19:27+00:00

Western Women: “Men are more dangerous and scary than wild murderous animals and we should treat them as such.” 💅

Also Western Women: “OMG! Why are men going to other countries to date non-western women?!?!” 🤯

purplepillparadox · 2024-05-04T19:37:25+00:00

I don't think they are lying to themselves; I think they are trying to virtue signal their independence from men.
You can add an adjective to the question to really highlight this, by asking,

"Would you rather encounter a black man or a black bear?"
Picking Bear during the heyday of BLM would have led to repercussions from cancel culture centered groups.

A better question now might be.

"Would you rather encounter a Palestinian man or a Palestinian bear?"

If you somehow switch your answer to man after previously picking bear, you might be virtue signaling.

What's funnier is that signaling 'independence from men' might be cool for their group of female friends, but its definitely an ick for some men. I want interdependence, not codependence obviously, from my partner. Signaling independence, is really highlighting a major red flag, which is quite ironic.

Infinite_Street6298 · 2024-05-04T21:38:19+00:00

Aside from the misandrist crap, these responses genuinely make me afraid for how drastically out of touch with common sense apparently many women are. Watch this video and then honestly tell me you'd rather have this encounter vs a random man approaching you.

Dankutoo · 2024-05-05T07:38:44+00:00

Most women’s public interactions are a lie. Women evolved to be constant politicians due to a risk of male threat and intra-sexual competition.

This is the basis for “believe what they do, not what they say”.

I don’t entirely blame women for this (although some cowardly hide behind it to a gross degree), but I do wish that as a society we placed a much higher value on ‘truth’.

i_have_a_semicolon · 2024-05-04T20:26:43+00:00

Oh is there a correlation between happy relationship and picking the man? Good bc my husband and I think this question and people who say bear are stupid

AFuzzyMuffin · 2024-05-05T13:11:26+00:00

sad but true i cannot stand people who lie like this

shadowrangerfs · 2024-05-04T20:51:53+00:00

I think they are all lying.

But the beauty of the question is that you'll never be in a situation where you'd have to prove it.

There will never be a time where a woman is walking through the woods and comes to a fork in the path. She looks down one path and sees a man. She looks down the other and sees a full grown bear. Now she has to make a decision. And there is a camera or a witness there so the public will be able to see what choice she made.

I kind of wish the question was, "Would you rather be locked in a cage with a man or a bear"?

Because then I know some guy would actually get two cages a put a man in one and a bear in the other and ask women to pick one.

ppvremsleep · 2024-05-04T20:52:03+00:00

Women are afraid of bugs and then think they can reason with a ferocious bear. They want to be like that girl hugging the bears in Russia in her head. She thinks it’s only laws that keep her from being repeatedly raped by desperate losers who annoy her.

Don’t expect women to be logical and not take any opportunity to gaslight men. I’m reporting all posts about bears, f this trend, let it be over.

Wattehfok · 2024-05-04T21:29:22+00:00

Dudes sure do wanna tie themselves in knots to avoid considering what women’s answers actually mean.

Are men lying to themselves as their ego can't manage a hypothetical situation with a good damn bear?

Raileyx · 2024-05-04T18:53:19+00:00

I like how the reaction of men to this whole question isn't

"oh my, I guess something really IS wrong when women feel compelled to answer that way, whether or not I agree with them on it, it's probably time to reflect on how men as a whole are acting towards women and I should question if there's something I can contribute in a positive way"

but

"lol women are stupid, lying to themselves, delusional, bears are more dangerous xd how dumb do you have to be"

Like yeah, really helping your case.

MistyMaisel · 2024-05-05T02:36:16+00:00

I'm in a committed happy relationship. I don't get the impression my man trusts other men very much when it comes to women either.

This is something men here seem to be playing dumb about, but every good man I've ever met doesn't trust men either and constantly tells women so. My dad, my brothers, my boyfriend, my close friends. Ba ba ba.

Women aren't the only ones who are dubious about strange men. Literally men in committed and loving relationships or protector positions don't trust men either.

At no point am I lying. I live in an area with plenty of bears. Hiking is super duper common as is hunting. Would you believe no one died? It's just not believable that the bear would do anything to us in almost any scenario. I don't know as much about men having already been through an attack and many unwanted advances and situations with men, that's believable to me and many other women. It strains credulity that the bear would do anything to me, it sounds like a fantasy. It's not a fantasy to think a man would do things unwanted to me. It's not hard to imagine. It's not a statistical anomaly.

So much so that even men warn us about each other. I can't recall being warned about bears with anywhere near the fervor of men. And I hike. You'd think it would have come up, but no, my parents wanted me to get a gun to hike because of men, not bears.

CryptoThroway8205 · 2024-05-04T23:06:06+00:00

Yes they lie. Dr. K talks about the struggles with male dating in a stream yesterday. He mentions that when surveyors were asked if a pen were worth $9 most would say it was because of nice features. When asked if they would be willing to shell out $9 he recalls only like 20% did. It's the same with women and virtue signaling.

"Would you rather be in the woods with a man or bear?" "Bear" "OK here's the bear good luck!" "No wait I changed my m...!"

Or surveys like "would you be willing to date this Asian guy" and they show a photo where women answer that with more virtue signaling now. "Ok here he is, enjoy your date" "I had a wonderful date but I just don't see us working out"

AngeCruelle · 2024-05-04T19:46:21+00:00

We aren't mind readers and we have no way of knowing any individual's motivation outside of what they themselves have stated.

My BF picked bear because his experiences with camping/hiking for much of his life indicate they aren't actually much of a threat or as unpredictable as a human. And as someone with basic wilderness survival knowledge he feels like a randomly selected person would be more likely to detract than add to his chances of survival, possibly through ignorance or desperation if not outright malice. I don't think he's "lying" to himself or me.

My own answer is "coin toss" because unlike him I think my chances of surviving in that situation are low to start with. Whether the cherry on top is a bear or a random person doesn't particularly matter to me.

Clementinequeen95 · 2024-05-04T23:38:57+00:00

It’s fascinating that women essentially said hi we fear a large number of men and men have taken this and responded with extreme anger and obsession really

Remote_Panic_3271 · 2024-05-04T23:05:54+00:00

It’s just virtue signaling at this point

rma5690 · 2024-05-05T12:34:07+00:00

Women really just exposed themselves on this one. This was supposed to be a dumb rage-bait meme that got hand-waved within hours, until you hoes actually ran with it.

SoldierExcelsior · 2024-05-04T22:06:25+00:00

I think it's 50/50 but even if the man has ill intentions he might kill her fast one blow to the head the bear will maul her and eat her alive

ExternalBarracuda292 · 2024-05-06T17:50:20+00:00

I don't think they're lying but it's a classic case of logic vs emotion.

I feel like logically speaking, obviously the human is vastly better. At least 99% of humans would never harm another human. By contrast, bears are among the most dangerous animals on the planet. People who don't understand math will claim that far more women are killed by humans than bears, but this is because there are millions of times more human to human interactions than bear to human interactions. If we normalize the number of encounters, obviously the bear is thousands of times more dangerous. In fact, I would even say you'd be much safer with the human than even a vastly less dangerous animal like a feral dog.

I'm sure some people will try to make a slightly more nuanced argument like claiming that the fact that the encounter takes place in an isolated area matters, which makes the human more dangerous because they're not afraid of being punished if they do something to you, though criminology has shown that generally criminals don't significantly consider the risk of punishment when deciding whether or not to commit a crime. We'll be super generous and suggest that maybe this triples the chance of the human being a threat, so you now have a 97% safety rate with the human, it's still a much better choice.

So why would anyone choose the bear? Because of media sensationalization. We hear about stories of women being attacked by men every day, but stories of bear attacks are rare. This causes people to mistakenly believe that these attacks are common, even though they remain very rare, they're just highly publicized. They call this the "spotlight bias", and of course women aren't the only ones who are subject to it. You see similar issues with, say, parents believing that it's very unsafe to let their children play outside unsupervised due to fears of kidnapping even though these instances are unimaginably rare and kids are actually far safer than at any previous point in history. So pretty much anyone can be subject to this way of thinking, but you have to try to push back on it when it happens.

MiddleZealousideal89 · 2024-05-04T19:04:53+00:00

I'm in a committed, happy relationship and my answer is "depends, imma need more info. is it a panda or a grizzly, is it the average, normal, chill dude, or is it a guy with anger issues and a chip on their shoulder about women? do I have weapons?". Now, chances are that both a bear and a man would leave you alone, but what a lot of people think about when asked this question is "what is the worst case scenario here?''. Worst case if you meet a bear - it eats you, you die a slow, painful death by being Yogi Bear's bento box. Worst case if you meet a man - he rapes and murders you, you still get a slow, painful exit out of the land of the living. If I'm thinking about the most likely scenario that both the bear and man would leave me alone, I'd go with the guy because bears are wild animals, and they can get spooked or something. If I'm thinking about the worst case scenario, I'm going with the bear, if my options are "death" or "rape and death", I'm going with the former.

Its not a lie if they believe it is true. Maybe women have a fear of men that is not rational. As men you have to not take it personally because I have some friends that watch and listen to serial killer content all the time and then they end up scared of normal people and situations.
