Post subject:  When is it appropriate to apologize?

It seems like it's a consensus on this forum that a men apologizing to a women is NEVER a should do because it 1) decreases your power 2) Makes you look weak 3) __

But I like to ask if this is in case in true in all context? Shouldn't we apologize if we do something wrong, and the girl is pissed over that?

A guy who NEVER apologizes to women is a guy who either never had a gf or a man who is like a total idiot and a jerk.

You should make disctionction between being unapoligetic (or whatever's the right spelling) and apologize. Being unapoligetic means that you walk through life strongly and you go after what you want. If by doing this you fuck something up or hurt someone, you are aware of that, and you apologize to that person. You can always to that from a strong frame, it doesn't have to decrease your value.

As for your question about a girl getting pissed over something, it depends on a particular situation. Just cause she is getting hysterical, doesn't mean she is right and you should apologize and let her get away with her shit.

BTW, this is not about stupid forum census, this is about common sense.

Context applies.

Don't apologise too much. Don't apologise for something you did on purpose. For example, if you stand up and step on someones foot, you're not sorry for standing up but you're sorry for hurting them. Given this example, I probably wouldn't apologise at all, just make a joke out of it.

If you really upset someone, apologise. But if you do something somebody doesn't like, don't apologise for it.

Don't apologize if you're standing up for something you believe, or because you "offended" someone through a political statement for example.

However if you cause emotional or physical pain unintentionally apologize for that. However be aware there are women who will cry to try to get their way.

If it's not your fault, don't apologize. Women love to play this little game where they'll bitch at you for 5 minutes, then you make a solid statement in your defense and they freak out about how "mean" you are. Do not apologize for that kind of shit.
