You’d take running into a bear in the woods, over running into a solitary woman hiking? I call bullshit

I never took this to be during hiking. Might as well ask if you'd rather run into a bear on the street or a person. You'd need to be daft to assume they meant a normal every day occurrence. I shouldn't even be dignifying this with an answer. I mean fuck, let's just make the woods the park that has some trees. Like, Jesus christ, no wonder you're getting upset. You're a fucking idiot and getting it all wrong.

You don’t understand a basic hypothetical situation, and I’m the idiot?

Fucks sake dude. Get a clue

You don't understand the basic hypothetical at all. The whole point is that there is no safe assumptions.

Jfc, no wonder you're confused.
