    In a non enclosed space out in the middle of nowhere you’d never see a bear, because it would intentionally evade the very smell of a person. They can smell like 10 maybe even 25 miles, you’d never know a bear was with you.

    Bears hate humans, all types of bears.

    It’s just most bears really love trash, and trash is where humans are.

    But even as a dude I wouldn’t want to be stuck with another random dude instead of a bear. Honestly anyone that would choose a human over a bear is either a little suspect or just has zero knowledge of nature right when that’s going to be very important.

    Anybody who wouldn’t be a liability in the wilderness picks bear.

      Depends on the bear for me. Black bear? I’ll take that over a man any day (am a man). Polar bear? Yeah, no. I don’t want to be within 1000 miles of a polar bear. Grizzley? Haven’t decided, probably leaning towards wanting the bear, unless it actively hates me for some reason

        Now that’s a terrifying thought. Just an angry bear with a spiteful rage aimed solely at one person, ignoring everyone else.

          Maybe ingested someone’s stash of Cocaine?

          — but seriously, that movie was funny. A truly stupid concept that I didn’t want to waste time on but found it very entertaining

            Look at that, I found the answer!

            Its safer to be with a man in the woods, if that man is being spitefully hunted by a bear who only wants to harm that one particular human being and has no issue with anyone else at all.

        I’d take the bear over a strange anyone. I hate being around people I don’t know. I’d rather be mauled by a bear than be the guy at the party no one knows.

        C’mon man, it was right there…

          Yes, I’m agreeing with you… it’s not an argument, also just emphasizing that it’s not really about gender

      The bear would provide a lot more valuable resources. What are you getting off a human? A few pounds of meat and maybe enough skin to make a vest out of?

      Everything you said here is negated by the fact that he’s talking about Bajoran bears who especially like to eat former Bajoran rebel fighters.

    If someone feels safer around a bear than they’d feel around me, then I’d also feel safer if that person chose the bear.

      Like I keep saying in these threads, please pick the bear. I’m out in the woods hiking alone because I want to be away from people, thanks.

      Fates worse than death aside I really do feel like people expect a good outcome from a wild animal and that’s simply never going to be the case.
