Seriously does any woman EVER apologize for anything? I guess if you want to get literal I recall 2 females ever apologizing to me in person. And maybe 2 or 3 online (although not so sure how sincere they were).
Blah the more I think of it maybe a few more have apologized to me online. But seriously so many women think they're always right and that if they do something which is wrong then they never have to apologize. Or they don't think it's wrong to begin with I guess.
Any of you who are rational, good job. Any of you who are like the type I am describing... well have fun having countless relationships end and you wondering why. i guess same goes for guys who can't admit being wrong also. Many of those too.

Getting a bit dramatic are'nt we
Take into consideration that some women will apologize in ways other then saying sorry/I apologize
Yet if you prefer to hear them say it then there will be times that it's not going to happen, though that is not gender specific.

never say sorry, prove it by not doing it again...
that is how some people were taught
saying sorry, makes a person look weak to the other party
then there is the opposite, the person who says sorry for everything
that goes wrong, and still continues the same behavior...
careful what you ask for op
you just might find your sorry woman after all...

Good luck to anyone who thinks saying they're sorry means they're weak. it's actually just the opposite and in general nobody wants to be around someone with that stubborn mindset.
As far as showing it with actions yeah that's a given, but if you do something wrong and then don't say you're sorry and think you can go about your business and simply act different later... that's just flat not acceptable. I did something wrong so i will just say lalalalalalala and pretend I didn't do anything and act "better" later. How adult. I think anyone who doesn't know that when they say or do something wrong, immature, childish, mean, or rude they should apologize AND show they mean it really is not worthy of being in a relationship. Meanwhile those same people are going around telling others they shouldn't be in relationships for stupid little things.
Anyone who thinks they're always right isn't worth dating. Anyone who knows they aren't, but pretend they are is not worth dating. People who fit into any of these categories are lame.
Oh and as far as me always being wrong... this isn't about only arguments. Right or wrong if you say things that are aimed at hurting someone you're wrong plain and simple. Andddddd most arguments I have ever had were from the other person doing something to start it, in my opinion. But if I do something that's immature or wrong I apologize. If I didn't, I don't give a fake apology.
While I'm venting I might as well also say how childish the women are who make it obvious they're mad and then you ask what's wrong and they say "nothing". Lame and childish. Maybe if that type of woman would grow up they would have a right to tell men THEY are immature.

lol I indeed say whatever a lot when I'm mad at a girl/woman and so many have got beyond pissed at it. At least I eventually say what I'm mad at though.
I said in my opinion I'm provoked before I get mad. At least I added the "in my opinion" part though as I am open to the possibility that sometimes I am to blame. 
I just made this to vent for a certain reason. Something got me remembering some things.

When I am wrong, I just admit it and say sorry. It is simple.
People who cannot apologise show a greater weakness.
But there is something to be said for actions as well. If they keep repeating the behaviour even after they have apologised, obviously, they didn't mean it.

A lot of men don't apologize either; I think maybe it's because they (both men and women) might consider it a weakness to admit that they've been wrong.
Note: I've been wrong so many times that I should just have generic apologies printed up on business-type cards and just hand them out to people.

the thing i hate most is when someone apologizes and then does the exact thing they had just apologized for. and i do apologize after i've realized that i've hurt someone. but once i apologize, i don't do it anymore. when a person apologizes and then turns around and does whatever he/she apologized for that makes the person a liar. it also makes them shallow and noncaring.

Now that irritates the hell out of me. No one is a mind reader.  For God sakes Women, if you're upset about something say it! Don't just expect someone to automatically know what upset you. It is impossible to have an honest relationship if you can't be honest about your own feelings with your partner.

I am sorry that you can't say you are sorry. Sorry if I was wrong, but if I was right, I'm sorry. Oh darn, I'm confused now.
I like what Sean Connery would say to actresses before filming a love scene: I'm sorry if I get aroused . . . and I am sorry if I don't.
I like WiseGirl & BarbaraJo . . . but then I have for a long time now. 
Apologize as soon as you know that you have caused harm, but don't apologize for everything and if I tell you it was nothing, please believe me. I AM allowed to forgive you immediately or choose not to be hurt at all, you know.

If you had common sense you would realize that people in general are not perfect. It is a
WEAK person that refuses to apologize especially when they know a simple apology is an acknowledgment of a wrongful event which would be forgiven with two simple words (Im Sorry) if they are said in sincerity!!! It is by far the STRONGER person that has the ability to do this!! Good luck on DH for you

ok this post may set some record for responding to the most people in one post without using the quote feature. So good luck to anyone tryign to figure out what I am even responding to. lol
spider, yeah that's how one of my exes did.
sweetsugarpie, I have been hurt a fair amount, but even if I hadn't it's just wrong not to apologizr if you are wrong or hurt someone, regardless of who it is. If I am adult enough to then others should be too.
oooooh ok bones. haha. so if someone does something wrong and a person wants an apology it's that person's fault huh? How ridiculous. I guess if someone's raped then you would find a way to blame them also?
wisegirl, yeah it is indeed simple. I think people who won't apologize when they're wrong simply have issues with self-esteem.
firstlight, haha I may have exes who said that yet then they contacted me again wanting to be "friends".
wsprs, I do and I think more men probably do than women, but maybe not. It may be equal, who knows.
iamincs, exactly. they consdier it weakness and really in reality people think worse of them for not apologizing because they're obviously coming off as stubborn and kind of crazy when you have proof they were wrong.
laidbackandfun, yeah that does suck. But they may sometimes still truly be sorry and just have a hard time changing. Insincere "I'm sorry" or "I love you" are pretty low though. And as far as women wanting guys to read their minds, seriously if they would just come out and say things think how much easier it would be to fix the problems.
justuamdme... I didn't say people are supposed to be perfect. I said everyone should apologize if they're wrong. You then agreed with me right after saying I am expecting too much if I want an apology.
wsprs, I know. That's why I then started raising the totals in my original post as to how many have apologized online. lol I kept remembering who has apologized.

Hey now....I have met men just like the women you are describing. I whole heartedly believe in apologizing when I am wrong and appreciate the same in return. In any relationship:love, friendship, mother-son, father-daughter....there will always be disagreements and wrong words spoken. I never feel the blame is on one side, but usually split down the middle. So sorry's.....as well as thank you's, kisses, hugs need to come from both parties

Yes, I need to start apologizing now.
I'm sorry I was too young to make a wise choice when I married.
I'm sorry I picked a loser for the father of my children.
I'm sorry I wasted so many years with him.
I'm sorry he has wasted so much of God's good air.

I think apologies are to make the wrong doer(for the lack of a better word) to feel better...not the other way around.
I might apologize for small things, like being late (which I constantly am) or for over cooking the eggs...but I don't believe in an apology for major things.
I would rather hear someone is truly remorseful and honest, for something he had done, than hear a million apologies.
With the same token, if I am in the wrong, which I certainly have been in the past, many many times, I would rather explain why something happened, how and what I am planning to do to stop it from happening again, and show my remorse, than utter a few words which means nothing, but to make ME feel better.
But...then again...for some men, it is just enough to hear those words...then by all means I will say them to end an argument, but they have to first convince me that I have done something wrong....it's all very logical and simple.

Apologies are just words which are spoken too many times simply to attempt to get one's butt out of the fire where it should have to stay for a bit...
To me, an apology is meaningless unless it is followed by 1) a change in behavior, attitude, treatment or whatever that caused the hurt to the other person, and 2) a sincere attempt to right whatever wrong was done.
I will, and I do, apologize if I've done something to hurt another person, albeit unintentionally.

Is there anything me and you don't agree on?

I understand they're just words and they alone mean nothing, but sometimes they are important anyway. To me, anyway. And them actually mean it too though. One ex would say it and if I didn't immediately say soemthing like "oh it's ok" she would then get MAD at me for not immediately being over what SHE did wrong and would try to make me the bad guy. Now I definitely don't think most women are that ridiculous, but I dunno. I really was asking this in all seriousness. I wasn't making it to bash women. I seriously truly wonder sometimes if there is any decent percentage of women who are realistic enough to know both people make mistakes and then both actually care if they hurt the other. I always care if I hurt someone. Of course sometimes people don't even realize they hurt a person to begin with or they are so convinced they're right.
All I know is my personal opinion is that a couple who both understand nobody's perfect, both understand what they should say or do if they do something wrong, both know how to forgive, both TALK OUT a disagreement rationally rather than go nuts on each other.... are much more likely to last. I don't see how anyone can last if they're never communicating in a healthy way and also wise enough to recognize their own wrongdoing as well as what is unacceptable for the other too.

An apology is only words if there is no change of behavior to back the words up. Someone who is truely repentant will change their ways.

I agree totally with that and whatever happened to the saying love means never having to
say you're sorry?

Seriously does any woman EVER apologize for anything? I guess if you want to get literal I recall 2 females ever apologizing to me in person. And maybe 2 or 3 online (although not so sure how sincere they were).
Blah the more I think of it maybe a few more have apologized to me online. But seriously so many women think they're always right and that if they do something which is wrong then they never have to apologize. Or they don't think it's wrong to begin with I guess.
Any of you who are rational, good job. Any of you who are like the type I am describing... well have fun having countless relationships end and you wondering why. i guess same goes for guys who can't admit being wrong also. Many of those too.
Ah, generalizations! Gotta love them. Of course, there are many men out there who always think they're correct, too.

I care if I hurt someone also... this can be considered a weakness
but more often then not, a person who really cares, knows when they are wrong,
and voluntarily takes steps to make amends
This is also called having a consious ... self awareness and concern
about how our behavior affects others
I forgive... I am willing to talk it out no matter what has happened
I have become lifetime friends with people this way
My ex's "Sorry" were a dime a dozen... and he did not appreciate mine
I am not patting myself on the back here, I am not what anyone is looking
for it seems... as the OP has noticed, caring is not so common and does
not seem to be appreciated anymore

Yes, I need to start apologizing now.
I'm sorry I was too young to make a wise choice when I married.
I'm sorry I picked a loser for the father of my children.
I'm sorry I wasted so many years with him.
I'm sorry he has wasted so much of God's good air.
I'm sorry he survived the abortion.
That's a start.
We have a "fill in the blank" winner.
No other applicants need apply.
