What about approaching pretty girls seems tantamount to facing polar bears ?

Pretty girls (so to speak) can rip me to shreds figuratively, polar bears literally.

Pretty girls size me up as a prospective dinner companion; polar bears as a prospective dinner. I pick up the check in either case.

After encountering a pretty girl or a polar bear, afterward I'm usually licking my wounds.

Both can turn up unexpectedly, when I'm not mentally or physically prepared. Vigilance helps avoid embarrassment or worse.

After a pretty-girl encounter, usually my confidence is shaken and I'm awash in self-doubt. After encountering polar bears, my confidence is boosted and I feel capable and strong -- assuming I've survived.

I've only seen three unclothed polar bears in the wild, about the same number as the total number of unclothed pretty girls I've seen up close ;-). Submerged doesn't count in either case.

I have more confidence in my ability to handle adeptly the former than the latter.

During a encounter, I'm generally trying to discourage the bear and scare it away. But an attractive woman is generally trying to discourage me and send me elsewhere, instead...

The naked polar bear doesn't worry about broken nails?

Had to comment because this is just too, too funny for me.

I only worry about broken nails if I'm barefoot. Bear foot?

But I also have some amusing new theories about your attraction to a particular pretty boi.

I can manage the white fur, but if you think you could manage 18", even if I could *find* something that size at GV, you have GOT to be kidding. (maybe 18 cm?)

(feel free to delete this post if you think I've really crossed the line)

Oh. I didn't even consider *that* possible meaning...
