Except in man vs bear, you're not being compared with a bear. If you were, you'd find your position elevated. So your offense is not grounded in rationality.

What man vs bear does is show in stsrk relief how far the erosion of trust has progressed thanks predominantly to gender based violence, objectification of women, and PUA/hook up culture.

If you had asked women 60 years ago thr dame question, they would have overwhelmingly chosen the unknown man over a bear. And that was when they had less rights and less enfranchisement and were still broadly considered inferior to men. Less education too.

What they did have was a basic sense of trust that a random man wouldn't be likely to hurt them, given the opportunity and a near 100% guarantee of zero consequences.

Men need that basic sense of trust in order for many of them to find partners and for women to be willing to engage with them through all the awkward parts long enough for an attraction to develop.

Man vs bear proves men have lost that good will.

You cam blame women, and many men did and will continue to. But that won't repair the rift and it won't change the fact that investment in dating apps, hook up culture, and PUA dating "strategies", and all the other tangential bullshit in the pursuit of pussy over valui g thr integrity of personhood is what lost men that good will on the first place.

It doesn't matter if you personally never harmed a woman. It won't ever matter. If you are a heterosexual male, your dating pool is women. And women have learned through decades of bitter experience that you are not to be trusted based on what has had become normalized behavior from people who look like you enacted upon people who look like them.

At least with a bear, you know what you're going to get.
