Why do most men have trouble simply apologizing?
Posted : 29 Jul, 2025 01:20 PM

I have worked in a normally designated a man's career most of my life. I have raised 4 sons. I taught them there is no shame in apologizing when you are wrong. Most men I have met really have a problem with apologizing. They make it worse by deferring the error to something you did or caused. I can only assume they think it makes look weak. I find to be just the opposite. Only a coward would not apologize when it was obvious they were wrong.

I find people in general from both genders are not natural to apologize or make an admission of wrong.

Elton John sang "Sorry seems to be the hardest word."

I'm sorry all the time.

I apologize more than anyone in my family.

Those that have cost the family most never apologize.

Nor do I expect apologies from them.

They are incapable of apologizing.

The mother of my children does not apologize.

An aunt does not apologize.

An uncle does not apologize.

Those that cost the most do not apologize.

Such is life!

More, God does not apologize

and Satan does not apologize.

The idea is that God does no wrong.

Within scripture, the closest that God ever came to apologizing may be Job 2:3.

Are we to forgive God?

Does God say "Sorry"?

Sorry for my asking.

Hope you find a person that wants to tithe.

There are different opinions on tithing. I see it is something in your profile that is important to you concerning the men you are drawn.

God wants us to put him FIRST.

He does not like being second.

The Bible says to SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

The Bible speaks of FIRST FRUITS and that we are to give our FIRST FRUITS to God.

The idea is that Abel have a better gift. That Cain did not give his best to God.

Well wishes in finding a man who gives God his best.

I saw an excellent comedy video skit on a person apologizing one time. With every apology, there was a new apology. The guy was constantly apologizing for the things he said. He could not apologize without having something more to apologize for from his apology statement. He was a public figure always apologizing for offending some group. It was hilarious! Wish I had the video clip to share here. I apologize for not having it here.

Your answer is refreshing. I love your point that the people who do the most damage are usually the ones that refuse to apologize. I have found that to be true in my family as well. Ditto to finding the love of your life.

Proverbs 14:9

Fools mock the making of amends, but goodwill is found among the upright.



If a person is not in the habit of sincerely, humbly and regularly confessing to God his daily sins and trespasses done against God, then it’s not likely the same person will humbly confess any wrong doing to persons of whom they’ve wronged.
