This is true actually all republicans follow this rule they never apologize or they try to extend it. Good example is Bush on the attack for Iraq did he apologize for his "misinformed decision" Yes but 2 years later when most ppl don't even remember what he was apologizing for. Good tactic is deny and scapegoat, if that backfires then make up excuses. Apologizing is the last resort since it shows that YOU WERE AT FAULT and that YOUR ADMITTING TO GUILT and YOUR TAKING RESPONSIBILITY for FAILURE. However there's a differance, sometimes if you do something so horrible and there's no way to get out you gotta apologize and you come out of it even better.

I don't believe there is anything wrong with that unless you are a constant fvck-up who needs to be apologetic because you have little clue about anything you do. You are basically apologetic about your mere existence.djSlvt said:...My point is that appologizing carries a deeper meaning with it, in short appologizing is like saying "I realize my guilt, I was wrong, I should not have done that." Appologizing is a series of submissive statements. ...
Apologizing and being apologetic is not the same thing. Apologizing when you have don't something that warrants an apology is good manners. It's like saying "excuse me" when you have to squeeze around someone.
Again...it is the pleading and begging for forgiveness that makes a guy look like a pansy...NOT apologizing.

So when someone who did you wrong, genuinely apologizes, and acknowledges the fact that they fvcked up, they are weak? Reverse the situation. Im not gonna be cool with anyone who doesnt apologize, when they fvck up. I consider them weak. Its not about submission, its about doing the right thing. As it say in some gay NOFX song: accept responsibility for what I do, but not for who I am. A genuine apology is accepting responsibility, which is what real men do.

Men frequently err by talking too much. They often monopolize conversations, droning on and on about topics that bore women to tears. They think they're impressing the women when, in reality, they're depressing the women.

I take responsibility for my actions (good and bad) and people respect me more for that.
It is so rare that people usually act better then if you just lie.
Mom: "Were you out with that girl?"
Me: "Yeah, and about six other ones!"
or
Dad: "Have you ever went to a party?"
Me: "Yeah, but I don't usually drink or if I do, I don't ever get more then tipsy. And I don't ever drive, nor do I let my friends drive. That would be irresponsible."
or
Girl: "Your an assh0le!"
Me: "Yeah, but I'm the nicest assh0le your ever going to meet."
or
Friend: "You treat me like sh!t and I don't like it!"
Me: "I'm sorry for treating you that way, how about I work on it. Do realize though that it will take me a while to be nice again."
Friend: "Alright."

Re:
Being wrong, quite often, is a matter of subjectivity.
If you're aspiring to lead people, being right or wrong comes with the territory. Being overly sorry in those circumstances can spell disaster, as they would in fact, see you as weak and lacking self-confidence.
With women, saying sorry, sometimes IS a matter of trying to conquer the man. The brunt of arguments, fights, and disagreements I've been in with women are times when SHE makes up what I'm wrong about, and therefore says "You did this wrong to me, fix it." However, what I did was not intentional, and she made herself upset by seeing things THAT way. That's when you talk about it.
Alot of older bucks tell me...that's how women are. But who wants to validate her in that way by saying sorry. I've actually had women say..."If you just say sorry, everything would be fine." That's like Leonides submitting to Xerxes, or allowing the messenger to disrespect his queen and his kingdom. Both of them saw that Leonides would get a better benefit in return, but no one can replace what freedom is.
When it comes to women, many times you will be wrong, and she will only want sorry to confirm her feelings, rather than talk it out.
When it comes to friends, they have a need to make sense, so sorry would work.
However, SORRY is only a word. It's more important what you do when you're wrong than saying it. Everyone here has heard it in the THOUSANDS of times, and will hear it again. The times that it carries ANY weight are the times people realize they're error, AND make up for it twice over. So if you're a leader, you're success after your failure is twice as sweet. Or if you truly hurt your gf, BY say, cheating, then you do something twice as good. Or if it's a friend, then you do something to right the ship. You don't want to be forever indebted. but unless you're living by the 48 laws of power, or trying to be some middle eastern prince, I don't see how admitting you've made a wrong choice can be bad. Just realize, women mascarade power by asking you to submit to sorry, which in turn forces you to admit you are wrong. By doing so, she can offer a host of suggestions to "right" you, and use all the instances you are wrong to "fix" you.
