Can the woman choose which kind of bear?
Is it a black bear or polar bear? What kind of bear are we talking about here? If she can choose the bear, can she also choose the man?
Is it random bear and random man? Random bear gives a rather high chance of polar bear. Random man gives a rather low chance of violent man.
We need a random bear man simulator to run the data. We deserve answers!
I don't care for the debate. I care for statistics.
I'd choose a brown bear because "If it's brown, lay down." All I have to do is pretend to sleep and he goes away. No murder, no rape. Just a nap & peace & quiet. Sounds ideal to me!
I know more about polar bears than the others. But I've heard the saying; if it's black, fight back. If it's brown, lay down. If it's white, good night.
Do you live above the Arctic circle or something? The most common bear is a black bear.
I live rather far north yes. I've seen polar bears before when traveling in the deep arctic. I have never seen any other bear.
Black bears are pretty scared of people as far as I've seen online. Polar bears are afraid of missing a meal.
Yeah, most people are going to be encountering a black or brown bear and the bear will just move off on its own or give you a threat display because you're near its cubs. (Just back away slowly for either bear)
Juvenile black bears can be aggressive when they're trying to make territory, but usually that just makes them dumb teenagers that are trying to scare you. It's very easy to scare them back. Otherwise they will bluff charge you to get you to run away.
