I have come to understand that most women have no concept of what an apology is from a man. Because women are inately unable to apologize unless it serves them, hearing it from a man confuses them. In there minds it MUST mean something other than your simple desire to do it on principle. What is principle to most women? It is nothing.
I have noticed that on the rare occasion I have made a simple, respectful apology to a man in front of a woman, the woman acts confused.
Once in a store I absent-mindedly blocked a guy who was looking for something on a shelf and walked away. I thought how rude I was and went back and said I’m sorry I just blocked you like that. I realized it afterwards. The man totally got it and appreciated the respect I showed him.
But I noticed a couple of women who were gazing with that look on their face that shows they couldn’t even process what they saw me do. It was beyond their grasp.
I can conceivably apologize to a classy, well put together woman (maybe 2% of the female population), because I know she will st least partially get it that I’m doing it in principle.
However, since a full 98% of women become puzzled and confused by an apology, and because it gets their hamster running with all sorts of fantastical speculations, I find that as a rule it is best not to apologize. They simply don’t get it. Sad, but true.
