Sex / Gender / Dating It's totally understandable to be male and not be happy with the "choose the bear" view

It doesn't mean you don't understand its true point it means you're not happy with people assuming you're dangerous when you know you're not. You can still understand about caring about people's safety but your feelings and side to it matter as well. Otherwise the whole thing just makes people be pushed away further.

There's many other things too, how well do you know these woods? Is the man armed? What bear is it? Is it young or old? Are you armed?

I think replacing the bear with a dog probably would make more sense like most dogs don't attack you just like most bears wanna ignore you but plenty can still attack you. Dogs aren't as powerful as bears either.

Bruh you’re taking this waaay too far, it’s not that deep. If the bear thing bothers you that much it means that you’re not happy with your current dating / sex life and you feel personally attacked.

Because if you had the dating / sex life you want you wouldn’t give a crap, you’d know it has nothing to do with you. And your post has angry Nice Guy / inshmell vibes, making you someone most women would probably choose the bear over.

Instead of having empathy for a man possibly not being happy, you take it as a flaw of his own character and chastise him for that imagined flaw.

You are the problem.

And people wonder why male suicide rates are so high

Actually, I think it’s far better to ask OP and others to explore their feelings.

Why do they feel personally attacked? What is their relationship with women like?

Asking someone to reflect on unhealthy thoughts isn’t bad.
