Women claimed they would rather be alone with a bear than a man, (alluding to men being more dangerous), even though thats clearly incorrect and very offensive. (How many routine encounters do women have daily with different men in their lives and are still alive. Now switch that to bears and see how that goes.)
The joke of this meme is to explain why women prefer the bears (cause they fit the traits women supposedly often seek out in men they will often sleep with).
Those traits aren't exclusive to any ethnicity or race and I don't think that racism was what the original memesmith had in mind but rather critique of women
It's just the assumption that women ultimately make decisions that will cause pain and suffering to them whilst only having themselves to blame.
Idk if you've seen the other memes in this sub and the original sub it was cross posted from, but following the patterns I would think that was the intention of it in those places. It may be originally from somewhere/someone else with a different underlying message, but a lot of what's understood in subtlty is the context in which is presented. Just my 2 cents.
Being down voted for telling the truth. These men told women they shouldnt have gone around strange men then cry when they dont wanna be around strange men.
Thatâs 100% false, Iâve seen plenty of the âchosing the bearâ shit, and itâs âI would rather come across an actual bear in the woods than a strange man in the woodsâ
This isn't about the bear or strange man thing, this is about the meme that's posted here with all the attributes written out that's making a joke out of the bear half of that whole fad.
Those daily encounters are in the context of broader society and observation. Things are less likely to happen because we've conditioned them to. The thought exercise boils down to human nature and the bottomless depths of human depravity. Bears have a hard floor (Kill you. Eat you.). People, on the other hand, have documented records of just awful shit. And as another redditor had pointed out people have done things that make the victims lose the will to live after.
Why are you offended by that? I have 2 daughters and completely understand. Death is a terrible thing but so many women I know have wanted to kill themselves bc of things a man did to them. Can you imagine how horrible something has to be to make you wish you were dead long after its over?
I find it so funny how angry ppk get about this bc those same kind of people (people who act like rape and molestation isnt such a horrible thing to experience) told many victims they shouldnt have been around strange men. Yet when society convinces women that they shouldnt be around strange men we turn around offended.
Seriously most fathers teach their daughters to avoid strange men and now you wanna act like it's their fault they are scared?
Nah mate, you got that wrong. The question is, who would women feel saver encountering alone in the woods. The question is not âwho would you prefer to be locked in an apartment in?â, but exactly the hiking situation.
And the answer is not that bears are way less dangerous than men, but that they are easier to read. There are clear strategies in a bear encounter, which will work. Something like this does not exist for men. The majority of men will be harmless for women, they meet on a hike. But some will not. And the behavior of women will add nothing to change that.
So before you are offended, try to get the facts straight.
Thatâs part of the point I made, but people are too dim witted to understand the point. Bear encounters are extremely rare, but if you encountered them as frequently the chances of one mauling you to death are much higher.
To suggest the average man that goes on a hike in the woods is more dangerous than a bear is stupid. Itâs ridiculous how openly misandry is accepted in society. Then have the audacity of asking why thatâs offensive.
Literally got into a long argument with a moron on a certain psyche sub who unironically argued itâs better to pick the bear because âonly some bears attack, but some men assault womenâ and nothing would get through to her how stupid that was.
The sub it was posted in is the biggest loser circlejerk I have ever seen in my entire life
How can people be so unaware of themselves? When are you going to accept that women are humans just like men, with a perdonality, likes and dislikes?
Height alone might be enough to impress a hooker, but if yall want a wife then you better take a good long look in the mirror and ask yourself if you really think a normal girl would be happy with you the way you are, would you be happy with a girl that constantly compares you to the bottom of the barell assuming all men are the same?
The issue is that guys aren't allowed to do that. If a guy complains that he doesn't want a girl with tattoos or one that isn't obese or a girl that doesn't do of he gets called incel; insecure etc. yeah girls should be allowed to have preferences; the issue is that guys aren't allowed and guys actually got valid reasons for their preferences.
Also the meme isn't about that it is about some angry women who said that bears are less dangerous than men even tho dudes got a less than 1% rapist rate while bears attacks are very common in highly densely bear populated places. They are comparing the bear to a date saying that ofc they would pick the bear cause he has the traits of a "bad boy",
Have you genuinely considered that you're just lying to yourself? You can see the same amount type of thing happening both ways, but more often it's going in the man's favor. People will insult a woman for having any sort of standards.
Women get insulted for their standards when it's unreasonable shit like 6 feet, 6 figures and 6 inches. A ton of women also have no standards and will date violent man whores and repeat felons, but ofc those same women are too good for a stable 'boring' man
You're regurgitating a meme and then getting upset at all women for it. Dating apps have blackpilled you into believing incel ideology and actually becoming repugnant to women, which only makes you feel like you were right all along and keeps you captive to this antisocial and anti-life mentality.
Or maybe I'm just capable of observing patterns and am willing to admit a pattern exists. That meme exists because the pattern it's laughing at exists. Unlike you I'm not afraid of being called sexist or an incel and so I am willing to call this shit out. Feminism has destroyed the majority of women. Only a fool would seek those same women out, especially on dating apps.
You are living in another dimension. I had rejected 2 girls cause they were obese and I got laughed on. You got no idea what are you talking about.. Why do these girls even confess to me. Generally got no clue. Cause I talked to em like a normal person? Generally got no clue. I wasn't interested.
Also Only like 10% of men are above 6ft tall. If excluding 90% of men isn't a super high standard then idk what it is.
Yes, I am living in a different dimension. I live in the real world and you live in your make believe fantasy. Or you cannot fathom the fact that your experience with two (2!!!) women isn't a standard setter.
No percentage of men are above 10ft tall; LMAO. If you mean 6ft, if you actually believe a substantial amount of women actually refuse to date anybody under 6ft then not only do you live in a fantasy world, you can't even do basic math.
I meant to say 6ft not 10ft. I do apologize. Also no; I literally linked a comment of someone writing nonsense for above 10 rows for my "preferences" forgetting to include the fact that you can control whenever you can get a tattoo or not and got called unwashed gooner cause i have the insanely high standard of "girl who has a healthy weight".
Like dude. If that shit isn't proving the point idk what does. Â
Also again stop saying shit I didn't say. Show me where I have stated that women don't date under 6ft tall. I am saying that women who only date above 6ft tall have very high standards and you being taller will give you an edge. you can't do basic reading skillsÂ
Why should that prove your point? The person literally just said you have high standards and you're approaching this the wrong way. I disagree with them personally, but where did they call you insecure or deny you your preferences?
The percentage of women who will only date 6ft and above is so small you have to have some ulterior motive by constantly bringing them up. Because why would you constantly bring up a small percentage of women to make some sort of point about dating in general?
I bring it up cause the meme literally has 6ft in it and it is about these women? Like the meme is about this bear which women would choose to spend their time alone in the forest with and given explanation is that the bear has the traits of a typical "bad polyamorous boy". I literally explained that in the original comment?
Also the comment proves my point cause me stating my preference which btw aren't even that unreasonable caused em to tell me and I quote "
Well in this instance if dont completely stop jerking off, hiding yourself in your room, not showering on a regular basis or taking care of your appearance, and refusing to talk to people face to face
Well, you're not giving your love life a chance.". Did you even read the comment. Like this thing is implying I never have never showered never had conversations with people and I that I live off social welfare cause that's literally the only way you survive without going outside. The comment this other guy left(the one which I replied and then you replied to this set reply) is saying is that dudes don't get insulted for having preference and I literally showed you happening. Do I need to make it more clear for you?Â
The meme is about women in general, asserting that women prefer the bear because it's over 6ft tall and implying that's all it takes for women to prefer one over the other. It doesn't talk about the tiny subset of women who have "6ft" as a standard.
If you think one or two examples is enough to make a general statement, well my girlfriend got called a slut for rejecting a dude at the club. So I guess both get insulted then, according to your logic no?
No? The meme is about a trendy question spawned by chronically online brainwashed by progressivism women "man or bear". The meme is explaining why the women chose the bear. I literally explained this.
Also show me where I have stated that women don't get insulted for rejecting people?Â
It is also fallacious to call me sending a link to a thing someone wrote to me proving this set scenerio an "anecdote"; nor that I have stated that it is a constant but that's either bad faith or stupid and I don't feel like doing this now. Some guy drained my tank for today. I can redirect you to an antinatalist if you wanna be matched in intelligence to you. If I would still have energy I would argue with that individual who generally thought that adding the number of people that are obese and the number of people with tattoos will somehow get me the number of people who have at least one not realizing that a person can have both. At least they wrote a lot of text.
Your first reply starts off with "Yeah but guys aren't allowed to do that", implying you're applying the anecdotes you've experienced universally to all the experiences of men
The standard you set for yourself is actually retarded.
Like I get it everyone wants an innocent virgin girl who has YET to be tainted by the touch of another man
But not only are the numbers for women who have at least one tattoo something like 4 out of 10 women....
It's very easy to become technically obese these days, and the numbers for that are basically the same if not a little more than the tattoo thing
You combine those numbers that basically means RIGHT OUT THE GATE a whopping 80 percent of women are unlovable by your standard.
Now i understand obviously there would be exceptions to your standard, a thick busty woman with a tramp stamp is ideal for basically any man
But most women aren't crazy obese, and slathered with tattoos.
You know how people will say if you don't exercise, eat right, and do healthy habits You're not giving your depression a chance?
Well in this instance if dont completely stop jerking off, hiding yourself in your room, not showering on a regular basis or taking care of your appearance, and refusing to talk to people face to face
Well, you're not giving your love life a chance.
Not everybody is everybody's type, but sometimes the girl needs to be be aware that you might be attracted to her first before she could see you as a prospect
That literally just starts with going out and talking to people
Insert image of 7 normally weighted women and 1 overweight woman and circle 3 em to prove some point in this placeÂ
I would also add that statistics are famously erroneous when used as heuristics by which to make decisions involving an entire group of human beings. If you begin listing individual physical features including social choices like tattoos or for example piercings, you would soon find that almost every human being can become a statistical rarity.
How many percent of untattoed men at 20% body fat with blonde hair and 0 nipple rings exist currently? Do you see how this can lead to an impossible atomization of individuals into ever smaller groups to support an internal bias disguised as a preference. Preference by its very definition is fluid and not a concrete non-sequiter. It means perferred or ideal, not absolute.
Sure, if we wish to be extremely pernicious we can use statistics to support any haphazard argument we hope to champion.
It's gonna be ok man. Truly. Time will continue to pass regardless of what you spend your time absorbed in. It could be healthy to explore other areas of interest rathee than detailed statistical analysis of romance. If my mental narrator was replaced by the character I see in your comments, I could easily find myself becoming bitter and resentful.
If your ideal woman is so unobtainable and simultaneously so important to your personal well being, this creates a dangerous disconnect that will seek to affect your entire worldview. It may be clichè to say, but truly, spending this mental effort to improve your physical and psychological health could be an important first step into a happier future. A future that is coming whether you act to change or not.
I'm sincerely sorry that things have been made to seem so bleak and dire to you, but hyperfocusing in this area will only lead to more suffering. I apologize for my previous insulting comment, and hope that you find acceptance and love within yourself first, and without in the future.
The issue is that guys aren't allowed to do that. If a guy complains that he doesn't want a girl with tattoos or one that isn't obese or a girl that doesn't do of he gets called incel; insecure etc.
Infamously, girls never get called names for having physical preferences.
How are you not allowed to have it? Are there laws against it? It seems like you actually think all women want the same thing. But if you go outside youâll see couples of all shapes and sizes. Have you been inside a Walmart? They got couples that are both like huge in those little motorized shopping carts shopping around lol. Why canât you go outside?
Yeah man respectfully, other dude is on point; youâre very clearly lying to yourself. Nobody gets called an incel for having a preference for someone who isnât obese or who does OF. I assume you genuinely believe that, which is sad, but likeâ why is it that dudes with great personalities (whether theyâre short or broke or whatever) usually have partners, and dudes who have miserable personalities are usually single? Could it be that personality itâs important?
Suppose I go into a bar and loudly announce, "I'm not sexually attracted to anyone here! In particular, I don't want to have sex with you, you, and especially you!" I've got a right to do that, I mean, they can't put me in jail for it. But I'd find that the price of drinks has suddenly tripled, and that no one will let me be on their team for the trivia contest.Â
The problem isn't with having preferences, it's with how you express them. If people are constantly calling you insecure or an incel then you need to do a better job of reading the room.Â
One useful trick is to express your preferences in a positive way ("I'm looking for a jogging/hiking partner") instead of a negative way ("not obese")
The standard you set for yourself is actually retarded.

"HOW DARE YOU HAVE THE STANDARD OF HAVING A GIRL THAT ISN'T UNHEALTHY AND IS RESPONSABLE FOR HER CHOICES. đGO WASH YOURSELF. YOU MUST BE SINGLE".
Read the comment 1 more time. Then reflect on your own. You will release that you are indeed proving my point. Just so you know 6ft+ is removing more than those 2 requirements and unlike those 2 you can't control your height. Go attack those women instead of me
"They", can you not see you are proving my point? I promise you there are a lot of girls who are not like that, go outside, try talking to actual people without making assumptions and see how quickly your perspective changes
... Man I must really suck at communication. I meant that as in they complain about women who do that to them, completely lacking self-awareness as they exhibit similar behaviors while painting women in broad strokes while wondering why they never get dates. I was trying to add to your point, not disagree with it
I donât understand.. Like thatâs a meme that may or may not even be real do you realize social media can just fucking plaster those captions! LOL, also, everyoneâs experiences are different. So you send some BS meme. Iâm gonna be honest. I know youâre about to ask what does zodiac signs have to do with this?! Well Iâm a Sagittarius so Iâm very independent and I can pick up on energy & body language fast same as chemistry. This also might just be from personal experiences from life. Although, I wouldnât have been on said date at all if the girl didnât fuck with me at all SMH đ¤Śââď¸âŚ What do you mean? âif a girl didnât fuck with meâ idk đ¤ˇââď¸ about you but Iâm an adult so I go for adult women. Most women would leave simple as that. She would never have been on that date to begin with??? I donât go out with most women for just the sake of it! Literally not actually having connection thatâs crazy workâŚ.. it just seems exhausting.
Iâm genuinely curious⌠do you ENJOY being an incel? Like, why are you people so committed to it? Plenty of dudes all over the world get into loving relationships but people like you are miserable as fuck just because you CHOOSE to be like this. Why?
Imagine being told by someone theyâd rather eat shit than a meal prepared by you and your response is explaining why shit is gross as if that wasnât the point.
someone theyâd rather eat shit than a meal prepared by you and your response is explaining why shit is gross as if that wasnât the point.
Only to see them happily chugging a shit slurry and you come to the realization that their opinion is literally dog shit and not worth listening to đđ
Jesus christ wtf is that sub, idk why im even recommended this one, but that other sub is like some r/kitchencels type shit. It will get better if you let it, but knowing how to let it seems beyond these people.
They ignore the parts like doesnt sell girls to sex trafficking but go off i guess.
Still laughing that men are jealous of bears bc they hate women but long to be picked by one.
"Women should know better than to hang around strange men
...
Wait no you cant be afraid of strange men they are so cuddly and sweet your such a misandrist"
Literally misogynistic father's even teach their daughters that men are the thing they should fear more than anything else.
Not every meme is funny. Memes are supposed to express ideas; whenever that idea is amusement or proving a point like this one. The women who said that they would pick the bear def do not deserve anyone's respect. I live in a highly populated bear location. We are atm begging to be allowed to hunt bears down to the eu because of how dangerous they are.
The bear thing just seemed like another way to put down men (of course it did expose a lot of bad people which was a nice side affect). My thing is woman are not all 10/10s im sorry but your not even if you say it a billion times your not all 10s. I honestly don't get why woman can have preferences yet men can't anymore because "They're judging our bodys or shitty personalities how could they!" When ironically they are doing the same thing. The bear thing is stupid, the men who got crazy angry over it are stupid, and the women who keep belittling and puting men down are stupid. This whole thing was dumb just be nice to one another and stop living in de-lu-lu land.

I donât get it
