Lets be frank, at least a few of those men who doth protest too much, understand that they are the reason women chose the bear.

There is also a contingent of men who firmly believe that men are the center of a woman's universe, (it must be true because he believes it), which is why it's such a shock to them that women weren't choosing the man.

There is a small contingent of women who make men the center of their universe, and winning the approval of men their entire personality, so that must be the kind of women they're used to dealing with.
