How much has this been true about women in your experience: Girls apologize when they sneeze but not when they are wrong?

Quite True

Not Quite

[CubsterShura]

I find it much easier to apologize since I realized that an explanation is not a justification.

The primary reason why I found it hard to apologize looking back was because I felt like admitting that my action was wrong was to also imply that the reasoning or intention behind the action was wrong too, and that if an action is wrong then trying to explain it is like excusing it.

Let's say for example, I am in a relationship and I told my boyfriend some hurtful things because I felt threatened, defeated or some other negative emotions. I'd apologize for the bad action, admit that I should have handled it better but still discuss what triggered me to do that and acknowledge that the feeling was valid and talk about healthier ways to deal with it.

not every woman is like that, but yeah there are quite a few out there.

[Exterminatore]

Typically true. Unless they think you’ll leave them in the immediate future. Then they start apologizing.

Girls refuse to apologize because they drive BMW and we men drive chargers drive chargers and Lexus's

I think my mom may have apologized maybe five times in my whole life. I think my dad probably did less than that. They were both NEVER wrong. Rarely could ever admit to ever being wrong. They played fast and loose with the truth, and would double down on a blatant lie until death, even when caught.

I think I've only been apologized to once by a girlfriend (after we had broken up, she fully admitted she had acted like a total b*tch (which is not how I thought of her - I just thought she's acting weird and really creepy... this early on... this is no longer fun. I'm out). The apology seemed genuine (though she didn't really change).

Up till recently, I've I haven't heard many apologies from most girls I've encountered... and if I did, it usually wasn't all that genuine, as the behavior wouldn't change. Usually just "justify justify justify." With the guys, soem would apologize, especially if they were way out of line - but not all.

The new friendships I've gained over the last two or three years, I can't think of anything any of them has done that warrants an apology, at least to me. They've been really great (so far). I think that if they did something out of line and out of character, they'd genuinely apologize and it wouldn't always have to be a fight with the husband or boyfriend to get them to do it.

Other way around - I apologise if it’s clear that I’m in the wrong, but don’t apologise for sneezing. Sneezing is a natural reaction as a human, why should I apologise for that? While I’m at it, I’ll apologise for breathing too 🥴

Back when i was a girl I would have voted 'Not Quite.' But g@g turned me into a boy today. :) So this is Quite True!

Perfect timing

I don’t think apologizing when you’re wrong is hard at all, whether you’re a man or a woman, as long as you don’t have a huge ego. The flaw in your question is whether they are objectively wrong or just wrong by your standards.

[Mac-One]

Girls don't think of themselves as being wrong so there is no reason to apologize.

[Aurora1010]

I know to apologize if I'm wrong, actually I found that it's usually guys who find it kind of hard to apologize sometimes

[Little_Bumblebee]

I'm unsure if I apologize for sneezing... Are you supposed to do that?

[IMuser]

If you sneeze while talking to someone or you sneezed on someone, then yes you apologise

Hope you learned something new today

[Little_Bumblebee]

Yes if I sneeze on them I would.

But usually, I say thank you as it's common to say "bless you" - and sneeze in your sleeve.

[alice55]

I don't apologize for neither of those two honestly XD

[ClaryFairchild26]

Well I guess that depends entirely on the girl!
I would totally say sorry for both

[moonpie89]

I can easily apologize for random harmless things. It is hard for me to apologize when I fucked up because I rarely do. I will but it will be hard

[Iron_Man]

They apologize but a lot of the times it’s a fake apology because they end up doing it again

[innerman]

this is very true
Im willing to testify in open court

[Ninania]

Women apologise for existing.

[Asker]

What do you mean? I don’t think so.

I’m not a woman, so I can’t really know nor do I exactly relate.

Do you mind explaining a bit?

[Exterminatore]

Modern women should apologize for existing. After apologizing they should correct the problem. No sense to apologize and do nothing about the issue.

[OlderAndWiser]

Gave me a good laugh!

[Slim57]

I've only talked to 2 girls in my life who would admit when they're wrong

[dustybiker]

What a hot mess…

[Blackcupcake]

hahahaha love this comment🤣

[TyLeeAndPink]

A lot of the time they’re insecure

[Danny_dan92]

My last ex literally embodied this shit

[Ellie-V]

[Blackcupcake]

I beg to differ🙄
