I am speaking in a scenario where they really did something wrong. A lot of times they want to act as if nothing happened but when you don't accept that they get butt hurt about admitting their mistakes.
There could be a number of reasons why some guys may get upset when asked to apologize for their actions. It's possible that they feel embarrassed or ashamed for their behavior and don't want to admit fault. They may also feel defensive or attacked when confronted with their mistakes.
It's important to remember that holding someone accountable for their actions and asking for an apology is not a personal attack, but rather a way to address and move past a negative situation. It's important for both parties to take responsibility for their actions and work towards a resolution that is respectful and fair.
If someone is unwilling to apologize or take responsibility for their actions, it may be a sign that they are not mature enough or emotionally ready to handle conflicts in a healthy and productive way. It's important to set clear boundaries and expectations for how you want to be treated in a relationship or friendship, and to prioritize your own emotional well-being and self-respect.

It's not that they don't want to apologize. It's that they don't want to feel wrong in the first place makes them feel bad. A holdover from early childhood, from being scolded by Mom or Dad. :-)
If you catch them at something they did wrong, you might get yelled at from him first, loud. Then they try to turn it around and make you out to be the offender when they are truly guilty. Then they say stuff like - can we just quit talking about this? Eventually you may get an apology, but it's doubtful. They just want to shut down and forget about it and leave you all alone and upset.
Especially if he's caught cheating on you and you confront him about it. He will yell at you right away and try to convince you that you are accusing him of cheating and say the next time you accuse me of that - I'm moving out! He's going to abandon you because he's the one cheating.
Makes sense 🙄
They don’t like being held accountable, that’s what I would say. (Not all men, I’m referring to your question)

Well there is women like this too and not all men are like this.
Most decent people when they really mess up admit they’re wrong and say sorry. None are perfect.
But it’s definitely not just a guy thing. Not all guys or women are like this and you know it
Well, sometimes a man must stand by his actions. Sometimes people criticize a man’s actions and THEY are wrong, and the action was actually right.
sometimes it’s a matter of opinion
but in the case where the action was wrong, it is difficult to admit one was wrong, and women suffer from this as bad as men do. It’s an ego thing, NOT A MALE EGO THING, but an everyone ego thing. I always try to apologize where I feel I am wrong but I fear I go too far…Canadians are always apologizing
what scenario do they have to apologize for?
stealing from a bank? running over a neighbor's dog? vandalizing property? punching a random stranger for no reason? most men do apologize for scenarios such as these
but telling the truth even when it's uncomfortable? standing up for their beliefs? simply existing? nah they don't have to apologize for these things
It depends on what they did wrong. Do they think they did wrong? Maybe they are embarrassed. Maybe it will hurt their ego. Maybe they are jerks. Without knowing what the guy did wrong to you its hard to say why he’s not apologizing.
You can’t make someone apologize. You can’t even, really, ask them to apologize. An apology has to be voluntary. When you demand an apology, you are making a power play and trying to humiliate someone by forcing them to dance to your tune. Of course, someone who is manipulated in that manner is going ti be unhappy. You can’t issue commands and expect someone to pretend to be pleased by it.
Because. Men don’t like to be held accountable, it crushes their ego.
They feel their pride is hurt and they think they lost the battle znd are too stubborn to admit it and to accept
Nobody likes having to admit they were wrong. Why do you think there are still so many Trumpers?
When you "make" someone apologize, you should assume that the coerced apology will come fuel some resentment.
People in general don't like being told what to do.
I don't why a very small proportion of men do this but what i do know is that most women are guilty of that
"make them apologize for their actions" Thats why. An apology should not be forced. Plus what if he doesn't see it as a mistake or something he did wrong. Its all about perception.
Same reason why some girls get upset when you make them apologize for their actions
Nobody likes this, not even females, they rarely ever admit they're wrong, they just get defensive and fight you
a lot of men apologize for shit they shouldn't be apologizing for
I know women like that to
This applies more to women than men
