    Unless the bear is starving, rabid or you are between it and its cubs, there is a 99% chance that the bear will just leave you alone, and probably run away.

    I’m guessing that’s not as high a percentage when it comes to men considering statistics involving rape and murder.

    So yeah, I’d say that there are a lot of scenarios where choosing the bear improves your odds of success.

    It’s like people think there are hundreds of thousands of bear maulings ever year or something…
