Why Girls Never Say Sorry First?

By Tara Hari

You are in a relationship with a wonderful girl. Life is perfect, flowers are blooming and birds are chirping everywhere you look. As you walk hand-in-hand down this magical lane of love, suddenly you come across a roadblock. The honeymoon period is over and fights have started. As your relationship progresses, you start to notice a definite pattern. Every time you have a fight, you end up apologising first. You have tried every trick in the book to get her to be the first to admit, even for once, that she was wrong. But she never says sorry first, almost like it's a matter of principle with her. This question has perplexed men throughout the ages. Why do girls never say sorry first? Find out some amazing answers to it.

More Willpower: It is an undisputed fact, that when it comes to relationships, women have willpower. They know you cannot hold out against them for long. Men are sure to crack first, especially when faced with tears, reproaches and cold indifference.

Why Girls Never Say Sorry First

Upper Hand: The person who apologises first will lose the upper hand. He/she would have assumed the entire blame for the quarrel by default. In future arguments, this acceptance of blame can be used against him/her. Women are smart enough to know this and make sure they never say sorry first.

The Test: In the initial stages of a relationship, women are constantly over you. They push you to your limits, just to see what they can get away with. They fight with you constantly for trivial reasons and refuse to talk to you. They will be adamant about not apologising, just to see if you will say sorry first.

Always the Guy's Fault: It does not matter how irrational or superficial her arguments are. It does not matter if she started the fight, or even if you don't know what the fight is about. In her head, her logic is flawless and you are at fault. No arguments will convince her otherwise. Why should she say sorry first when it's all your fault?

Enjoys Grovelling: Women enjoy being disdainful and watching the guy grovel for forgiveness. They relish reluctantly and graciously forgiving you for your transgressions. Throw in a couple of gifts and flowers, and it's like Christmas came early for them. So why would any sane girl miss out on all the fun by saying sorry first?

No woman enjoys admitting she was wrong, especially to their special someone. If you want to keep things smooth in paradise, then you have no choice but to say sorry first. We all know "Love means never having to say sorry". In the case of girls, it should be modified to "Love means never having to say sorry first".
