They are frequently climbing mountains, getting lost on snowy trails. bungy jumping, sky diving, wrestling with snakes and alligators, etc. Isn't life dangerous enough? What are they trying to prove?

I have never heard of a news account about men of color doing these things. But if they do it explains it more.

Live a little. If you play it safe all your life, have you ever really lived? Perhaps life is justified by how closely we skate past death. A person who lives dangerously probably has experienced more in a months time than most people in their whole lives. Not that you should jump out of a plane and parachute to work everyday, simply being too safe, is no way to live, just as living too dangerously isn't a proper way to live either.

I think the majority of guys take huge risks like that. It creates an adrenaline rush to do dangerous things, so they continue to "flirt with death". I would say that maybe by doing so they think they are proving that they're strong. It's pretty much a male thing.

It is definitely a guy thing, period. It may be that the reason you think it's a "white" guy thing is because you know more white guys than any other color or sorry, guys, more stupid white guys. You male chance-takers, whatever color you are, bet on your life like it was a penny-ante poker game. These females out here who care about you get a little upset about that you know.....

If you had the amount of testosterone floating around your body like these guys do, then you would understand.....its a macho thing, a natural thing, helps weed out the idiots (who stay at home and shag the girlfriends of the mountain climbing, speed freaked deathwish boyfriends.
Or something like that

I have done all of that stuff(minus the alligator thing) and am not trying to prove anything. I just feel that it is fun just trying to find the next rush.

You can't be serious..."white men" it's a guy thing period, no matter what their skin color. It's just a sense of adventure they have, feel like they have to go do bad@$$ things and be in the outdoors!

All men flirt with death. It's a guy thing, I guess they want to prove that they are fearless and valiant.

We are risk takers by nature. The really adventurous ones marry Redheads.

don't bring Steve Irwin into this
wait...so you're saying..only white men do those things...and they're crazy for doing it...
PEOPLE that want a thrill do this...not "white men"...people wanting some excitment...or maybe they're just interested in it..it's their passion...
we're all going to die one day...so might aswell die happy and fulfilled
