depends on the circumstances but in most cases no. women would probably want to hear an apology more of the time than men. thats why were from mars

encountered an instance where the woman did not accept my apology, her reasoning was if I was truly regretful of my comments I would say "I'm sorry", me saying "I apologize for my comments" was not a satisfactory response for her.

whats the difference an apology is saying sorry thats just the person deciding whether to accept the apology or not.
it wouldnt bother me if someone does not want to accdept my apology

I forgive people without hearing their them say they're sorry so having them say the words "im sorry" is a bonus.
Hmm, if Ive done a person wrong and he/she's not ready to forgive, it wouldn't matter how many times i say those words so with that said, a person can only accept an apology if he is really ready to forgive.

apologize...To make excuse for or regretful acknowledgment of a fault or offense.
sorry.... 1. Feeling or expressing sympathy, pity, or regret:
2. Worthless or inferior; paltry: a sorry excuse.
3. Causing sorrow, grief, or misfortune; grievous: a sorry development.
saying I apologize leaves no room for any other conclusions as with Saying "I'm sorry"

Depends. I don't really need to hear the words "I'm sorry" unless it was really hurtful. But seeing as how I am really blunt and all, I tend to apologize a lot myself.
If someone cannot accept an apology, then they really didn't want one to begin with.

Ha ha, good question! If it's obvious that the person regrets it (and they do things to make up for it), then perhaps I don't need to hear an apology.

I'd rather make amends for something hurtful I've done than make an apology. Saying I'm sorry or I apologise is just words, sometimes the recipient doesn't feel you're sincere. Showing someone you're sorry by changing your behavior or your attitudes is much harder to do. And it really doesn't matter if the other person accepts it or not, because you're not doing it for them, you're doing it for yourself. Another person can't take away your guilt for wrongs you've done, only you can do that.

I don't think she sounds like a very reasonable sort of person.......

Your apology was just fine.
Apparently, she has a bitterness issue.
She will just have to get over it!

Emotions are often communicated silently and understood. But it is still better to express so that there's no room for misunderstanding.

Remorse, aplologies can be offered under many guises, words, flowers, hugs, a beer, you feel remorse, you apologised, if she did not accept it, that is her problem.
Some people put pride before everything else.
Whatever you said, however much it hurt, fireliter, if you are not given the chance to recover the situation, then who is in the wrong?
