Plus I do not like lions type of living that much either. New males will try to beat the old one and if succeed then kill all the kitties.
Tigers opposite will live and hunt alone (except short mating period). I'm introvert too. Tigers are cool bit cats.

Tigers will also kill a female tiger’s cubs if they encounter them. That behavior is unfortunately present in many predatory animal species when they want to bring the female into heat. Bears do it too.

Male lions are lazy but they use their power to help defend the pride(from other lions and hyenas) and to help bring down large prey like buffalos which the females struggle to do on their own. I noticed when watching videos of lions hunting buffalos, the male takes the lead and usually the poor bovine stands no chance. A lot of times males bring down prey on their own too.

I like tigers the most. I was born in the year of the tiger (Fire Tiger)

I especially like the Siberian Tiger.

I know that. I have seen also pretty brave mother bears who has attacked against much bigger males (as protecting cubs). Risking their own life. Male will kill cubs but fighting deathly against their own species females ... not many will do that (so humans as exceptions even here).

True, but still alone living tigers will do that everyday. And tigers will hunt even bigger animals. Asians have done sick youtube videos ... putting male lion and tiger into the same cage ... and lion might look ''brave''. But that just comes from different instincts of these big cats. If tiger will be really put in a position where it will feel it can not run away or can not avoid unnecessary (risky fight) ... it will beat and kill the lion. No question. If cats are same sex and same age. Until that male lion might look to have control of situation. Behaving active ways which is opposite typical for male lion (against other male lions).
