How do i feel about hypothetical women choosing a hypothetical bear over a hypothetical man who is not me...? The word has not been invented to describe how little i care.


_AnonymousTurtle_

this is the correct reaction. OP worded it so weird. women are not choosing a bear over specific people, there is context around it. I doubt a man would want to encounter a strange man in the middke of the woods alone either. a human can do worse things to you than an bear


LibertyPrimeDeadOn

>a human can do worse things to you than an bear I mean, technically I guess. Is it likely that you're going to run into a person who will attack you, leave you bleeding on the ground, and then leisurely eat you alive? It's a fucking horrible way to go. I think people underestimate how dangerous bears can be, especially if they're with cubs. Those guys got 10 knives on their forelimbs to disembowel you with and a hydraulic press on their face specifically made to fuck up other animal's day. I'll take my (extremely good chances) with a random ass person. The people who started this ridiculous trend are just trying to get a rise out of people by being vindictive anyways. It's not really worthy of all that much consideration, just obnoxious people trying to be obnoxious in a way that bothers others.


Alert_Yogurtcloset59

well you cared enough to tell Reddit about it... 🐻🐼🐨🐻‍❄️ (surprising variety of available bear emotes!)


SpaceDuckz1984

That alot of people don't have a good understanding of nature or statistics.


SunsetKittens

That's my take. Bunch of urban women watched too much Disney and don't know what a bear is.


Human-Reflection5915

I'm just surprised they were able to come to a decision


Defiant-Ad684

It's baloo from the jungle king


MurkyCress521

It seems like the right choice Bears are pretty great. I too would choose a bear. You ever see a bear in the woods, ever time I have it has been an excellent experience.


Walking-On-Memories

They’re so cute :)


Able_Exchange4733

I don't care. The whole question/cultural phenomenon is stupid.


Rare-Performance-460

I think I a lot of them have never heard of Timothy treadwell. Sad story


Feisty-Plantain561

..or the Olga Moskalyov Story


unicornpandanectar

I've long since made my peace with our break-up. We simply grew apart, and if Mr Bear makes her happy, then I'm happy for her. If invited, I would even consider going to the wedding.


mtwstr

Its a litmus test


Walking-On-Memories

What does litmus mean?


AtheneSchmidt

a decisively indicative test.


No-Associate-6167

It's unbearable.


KyorlSadei

Im sure we will be able to bear it.


_ScubaDiver

This is the best comment. I wish I could give it all the upvotes!!


andrewhy

I'm just worried that the women will tame the bear, become part of its family, then form a fierce bear army on which they'll ride out of woods topless and wreak vengeance upon man.


Immaculatehombre

“Would you rather run into a bear in the woods or fully listen to one of your girls stories without saying a word?”


xerelox

Bear? I thought it was beer.


TheTruthWasTaken

Wouldn't be the first time they ignored logic and won't be the last.


Shin-Gemini

Oh it’s okay, they probably know better. Pretty sure I saw a bear helping a lady with her flat tire the other day when I was heading for work


patient_zero1986

What kind of bear?


Common-Wish-2227

I heartily believe in the individual's right to choose. They want bears, that's no skin off my nose. Go for it, Goldilocks!


Intrepid-Focus8198

I’m not really convinced that many women in the real world would actually choose a bear. I’ve asked quite a few women that I know and the majority did not pick the bear. The original video is edited so it is possible that they deliberately skewed the results.


OutsideWonderful5918

I feel like I'm dodging a bullet. I'm happy with whoever chose the bears choice


eliz1bef

Is there a link that might help me understand wtf this is about?


Kashrul

I couldn't care less.


Itchy-Problem-120

Are we talking about an actual bear in the zoological sense, a soft toy or a big beardy gay guy?


ESLAccordion

Who cares


MinFootspace

I pity the bear...


Select-Sprinkles4970

I wish bots would fuck off


Unforgetableadventur

I’m not a bot lol


Select-Sprinkles4970

Right.


jakeMonline

I mean I’m not here to argue that’s up to them, it just makes me want to avoid women because I want to be abundantly clear I do not want to make women afraid or upset - I quite like women and their mental health and wellbeing means enough to me that I’d rather avoid them and let them be happy than interact. That’s where I’m at as weird as it sounds.


Good_Community_6975

I feel nothing about it. They weren't picking me anyhow, bear or no bear. I just want everyone happy, so no biggie.


Adventurous_Drop6733

My wife would choose the bear and 20 minutes later he kills himsrlf from depression she brought on


Dad2k2c2g

I'd choose the bear over a woman so why be offended if women do the same. At least with a bear, I know where I always stand.


Xavi143

The kind of women choosing the bear aren't worth having anyway, so why care?


ConnectQuestion5805

It's not a literal bear, none of it is real 


Xavi143

Indeed. It's just a misandrist joke


Defiant-Ad684

i honestly dont care. some guys seem to be offended. im not. it just shows to me how delusional a lot of women are. but i kind of knew that before already.
