What option do you choose?

Yours suck more because it manages to be both verbose, ambiguous, and lacking in detail.
It's doing what it should, if you can't comprehend the scenario, it's not really my problem or the hypothetical's.

You're working with a set of premises, then you make a choice based on that.
 
It's because of how you wrote it. Write better.
Ironically, the left out details would be so pedantic that I chose to not include them for the sake of brevity, yet it's still too long for some people.

Do you understand this then?

One day you wake up inside an aircraft with some clothes on, jeans, socks, boots, and a jacket, there is nothing more in them, the only metallic parts are the zippers; you must have been there due to someone drugging you and kidnapping you days before.

On a screen, a choice is presented to you where they explain that you are about to be deployed in a forest with either a man or a woman, and that the counterpart (the one you didn't choose) will be also deployed with a brown bear, but some distance away from both of you.
You're given no more information about what type of forest is, where are you, who are the other people, nor anything about the bear, what time it is, nothing else. You're just given this and you have to choose, for the sake of the argument, if you don't, everyone of you except the bear will be set on fire by the aircraft's interior. How the deployment occurs, will ensure that you can't climb onto the aircraft or do anything else other than be placed on there with the one you chose.

Some already have trouble reading OP, putting this wouldn't make it easier.

I disagree with sentient cloud. The above was much better, even as I still don't understand the point of the hypothetical.

As fir an answer,I would pick the woman, and we would liason with the other dude, if the bear didn't eat him. Then we would trek out of the forest, avoiding the bear if possible.
 
Everything has to be a meltdown when asked to elaborate.

This is a text-based forum, you're supposed to use words to answer people.

Oh it's like a Naruto forest thing. I would go for the man. We'd make long spears out of sticks and try taking the bear down in a coordinated attack. Once the bear is down the woman would pose a much lesser threat.

The trolley-problem also sucks.
Meds, at least the trolley problem is simple/succinct and has a concrete outcome
Literally everyone in your hypothetical is randomly fucking generated as per your rules (the bear too for some reason). You could spawn with a woman powerlifter smarter than Einstein, or vice versa, a retarded incapable scrawny guy. Why not just say both choices are at their respective average physique and intellect levels? Bears are usually neutral creatures you can sidestep, but here it's ambiguous whether it wants to rape and kill everything + track you down. Not to mention a single bear is just one threat amongst many while stuck deep in the wilds anyway. Looks like here that it just exists to ask the question of whether you want a man or a woman to get chewed up, which is the only event that's certain to happen in your scenario.

People answering your hypothetical in good faith will establish their own rules and conditions while describing their thought process to you. That's an extra data point you can gather. You really don't need to bloat shit up
Would you rather be lost deep inside a forest with another man, or a woman? - FTFY
You're camping in the woods with two strangers, a man and a woman. A vicious bear attacks your camp. You must sacrifice either the man or the woman to escape with your lives. Who do you abandon? -Alternatively, depending on your intent
