Should a guy apologize to a female if he believes he did nothing wrong to make her happy?

[Apope16]

Say a guy got in a disagree and there is a standstill of no talking between 2 friends or a couple?

Yes

No

If he is a level 9000 SIMP, then absolutely! He should apologize for doing nothing wrong. If he's a man, he will not...

[Anonymous]

The men that selected "Yes" are simpletons.

Of Course!!!
Whatever the scenario & with whomever it is taking or has taken place, where the matter is not some sort of Felony or other serious transgression. The gesture of an apology is a small sacrifice one is able make in order to rectify an unpleasant interaction taking place between people. Typically, it is ones Pride that keeps most points of contention alive. Whatever the matter, if a single person can set their ego and Pride aside the matter can be resolved with an apology. Now, it can only be truly appreciated if the others involved accept, forgive and move on from it.
So being "the bigger person" really won't work to its fullest, intended purpose if no one else is ready to forsake their own Pride and ego as well.
As for the suggested example here, it is at times the only option. Right, wrong, indifferent or however you might feel about saying that "you were wrong" and "I'm sorry", with some females it might juss be the only way. And you know what? Big deal! You want everything to be some interrogation? It's worth it to take it on the chin for your favorite girl! It may not ever be her most positive or attractive attribute but if you know & care about the girl you will have come to understand that it is not a nasty attribute either. In fact it may grow on you and become an endearing characteristic! Only you can say she is or isn't worth the bowing down too.
And readers remember, trying to postulate on the inner thoughts of the Female mind and mechanism is as ludacris as hoping to understand what is possibly going on in the mind of a house cat.

Thats pretty fake bro

[Just_Listening]

What portion of my contribution are you judging as fake?

[Smoke-n-Growls]

It's not so black and white.

It's hard to say without context. If he did nothing wrong, why is she upset? The first question should be "what has upset her?". Then you can figure out whether what you did was wrong or not, or avoidable or not.

Likewise for her, she needs to learn to communicate, not just shut down and shut out. If she's upset, she needs to tell you specifically what upset her, why, and request you avoid it in the future.

Trying to make her "happy" in the short term will just mean you kick the can down the road on this thing. Actually figuring out what happened so you two can avoid it in the future? That's actually going to result in her long-term happiness - and save you a lot of stress.

If you apologize just to please her, it would be like giving her the reason that she was right and the problem would come up again because in reality you two did not clarify the situation.

[hydralicride]

If your focus is steeped in pride then you would be reluctant to apologize whether you are right or wrong. If you are wrong, you should apologize and not in a half ass manner. Don't apologize in a conditional manner because that only throws blame back at the individual who you are trying to apologize too. However, if you are wise and your mantra is " I would rather be happy the right". then be the first to apologize, whether you are right or wrong. Truthfully, whoever you apologize to will start to think about what happened and what set it off. They will usually realize their part in the contention and later tell you it was not your fault. However, there is a third situation which I hesitate to comment on. A Narcicistic (sp) individual will never admit their part in any misunderstanding. You are on your own.

Well, it could help. I prefer to keep the peace and just let things go. No one has to be right all the time and I've apologized even when I believed (eh hem KNEW FOR A FACT) I was right because the argument wasn't worth the upset.

So my answer would be Yes (guy or girl) can set their pride aside and just move forward.

[Prideful]

Anyone putting up against freaking facts is stupid, man or woman..

[45Fstraight]

@Prideful Right? But it happens all the time, everywhere in the world. The question becomes; Is the particular topic worth the negative feelings just to prove who is right?

[Prideful]

I would question the partner's intelligence.
For instance : she believes that the earth is flat
that's just an example but it just tells me many problems will come in the future.

[The-Wise-Phoenix]

Don't ever say your sorry to your woman for any reason
I know that sounds crazy but women almost subconsciously see that as weakness.

"I don't do sorry. Sorry is for screw ups and criminals. I'm neither. "

[Browneye57]

Never do ANYTHING you have to apologize for.

That said, if you can have an adult conversation, you might find out from the other party what THEY consider that you did wrong. You can be sorry for that alone. And you can be sorry for hurting their feelings. Just understand that is ALWAYS and ALL about their FEELINGS.

[BarryLiverstone]

No he shouldn’t apologize. But if he values the relationship he should reach out and ask kindly if she’s ok or how he can help improve their connection. Both people giving the silent treatment only erodes the relationship.

[realDonaldTrumpJr]

That really depends. Did he do anything wrong?
Just because he believes he did nothing wrong doesn't he he did do nothing wrong. Lots of people believe all kinds of things that aren't true like that the earth is flat, vaccines cause autism, and 2+2=5.

[strawberriez]

Depends if you keep having to do this again and again. If this happens a lot then I suggest you don’t apologise over nothing.

[AdithyaR]

I believe one should say sorry only if it's genuine and one did do a mistake.
When you're saying sorry just to please someone and you didn't do anything wrong, you're rewarding them for manipulating and gaslighting you.

[AdithyaR]

Also it's woman, not female

[Midnight_Kiss]

No, one person apologising for doing nothing wrong just to appease the other is how a relationship becomes one-sided

[SashaAMB]

If he hurt her feelings, he should apologize for that, not for his opinion or for disagreement in general.

[PinkMichae]

I would say no. I would have compassion for them that they felt something I did was wrong and that's it.

[Anonymous]

He can do it once, as a tactic. It may work.

But it's a mistake to keep doing it.

[Novacane]

No, whoever is wrong should be the one to apologize. if they are both wrongs they maybe to need to talk about why they felt that way and move one from it if they are both acting like kids.

[Darksign]

No. If you didn't do anything wrong why would you be sorry?

[Anonymous]

Fuck no, have some self respect man. Never apologize to a fucking woman no matter what you did.

[captain_voidwalker]

Never apologize for anything. Its a sign of weakness.

[Notfabricated]

Apologize : no
Communication is key. You can't apologize for something you don't know what you did. The apology will be empty. But if that is what they want then its not and apology they want its attention.
