If I mer another man in the woods I would say hi and walk by. Bears are fucking dangerous. I really dont understand why all of you are so afraid of other people.
Met a bunch of bears, never been attacked. Shrug
Been mugged 4 times by people, tho. A few others attempted.
I'll take my chances with the bear.
Damn, you've only met four people in your life, and all of them mugged you?
Can you show me where I've said that? Also 0 out of 10 is still less than 4 out of 8 billion. And I haven't met most people.
Because the women who answered bear on the survey have extreme contempt for men. They see men as evil predators and not people.
Black bears are less dangerous than nearly every other larger mammal. They are terrified of everything and not violent. Grizzly attacks are caused by you being perceived as a threat, if given the perceived option, most grizzly bears will run away. Fatal attacks are far more rare than people think 3 in all of north america in the last year. Humans are far far more dangerous to encounter.
As someone who hikes the Canadian Rockies on the regular, I can tell you statistically I've walked by thousands of people on the trails and maybe 3 grizzlies. The grizzlies were far more likely to attack but due to distance and spotting them early to avoid there was no issue.
They are not more likely to attack, you just perceive them that way. As long as you don't do something that makes them feel threatened you are statistically in far more danger around the humans you cross paths with. I don't remember where I read it, but even with the tiny amount of bear attack, even those attacks are most often the result of human fear causing humans to be aggressive and then lose the fight they started. For instance a hunter with a gun may get scared, shoot the grizzly, and then hit it without a fatal shot. They just created a danger that wasn't there. "Fear is the mind killer".
Way too many men are fucking dangerous. At least the bear won't rape you.
