Men give flowers to express their apologies, but what can women give when they know they're wrong?

A straightforward, right from the heart, no holds barred apology. Believe me, that's really all it takes..

Interestingly, the giving of flowers (to women) to express love is essentially making a gift of the sexual organs of the plant. Therefore, it is logical to assume that an analogous gift would be appropriate for a woman to give to a man.  Some possibilities: a pinecone a collection of seeds of any type, e.g. walnuts a male adapter plug for an outlet or other electrical device a dildo a skyscraper, plunging dramatically into the heavens an erector set a ball pit a pet python, or other snake of considerable girth a tasty fruit treat a tool, such as a power drill or pneumatic hammer

I'd like to get flowers as apology!!  I've never been in a relationship, that I can remember, where I've gotten an apology from a man in the form of flowers; although I've been in a relationship where his parents have sent me flowers.  I'm not a fan of apologies.  Either there's an issue, or there's not - and I don't like to be motivated by guilt, and I question people who try to buy their way out of their guilt with grand gestures.  But I'd probably be OK with an 8ct purple diamond, just like Kobe's wife was; but only if i'd already gotten a few, without indiscretions attached. The closest I've come to apologizing in a romantic relationship, is saying, "I was wrong. I screwed up".  That is a huge admission.  I think men understand that.  And even though there were a lot of jokes here about it, I'd suggest that it's as difficult for women to apologize and say they were wrong as it is for men to ask for directions.  Be sincere and authentic, so that he knows you are thinking of him, first, and genuinely respect and care for him. I have a friend who sent a pony keg of Heinneken, once, after an argument; and another who climbed up on her boyfriend's fire escape wearing a raincoat - and nothing else, and knocked on his bedroom window until he woke up.  He was a heavy sleeper, so it didn't work out exactly as planned, but still - good intent.  Crazy girls.  Some guys love that. But some would rather go to the symphony.  Only you know. I don't think I've ever had to really apologize and say the "s" word out loud, apart from "sorry-for-being-late".  A wise man knows that apologies are often accompanied by long involved conversations, whereas no apology allows for longer involved horizontal bopping.

Well, if you subscribe at all to the idea that men and women generally have distinctly different needs that drive their actions and behavior, then to adequately answer this question one must first identify a man and a woman's top needs.  The average woman's #1 need is affection and the average man's #1 need is...drumroll please...you guessed it - sex, as has been demonstrated by Dr. Willard F. Harley, Jr., Ph.D. in his research and writings in the field of relationships.  Dr. Harley suggests that a man's need for sex is as real and as important as a woman's need for affection and it is only when both sexes can adequately equalize the gravity of each of these very different needs that they will know lasting love.  In other words, men have to learn to respect their wife's need for affection as much as a woman needs to respect a man's need for sex. So, when we men are giving flowers as part of an apology we subconsciously know that the way to our woman's heart is through affection, with the flowers being such a perfect extension of our affection.  And justly, when a woman gives of herself to her husband with sex, she is subconsciously honoring his inherent need and knows that in the event she has wronged him, through sex she can win back his love. Now, I am by no means suggesting that the formula of flowers for women and sex for men will work 100% of the time (especially since there would surely need to be formulas for same sex relationships as well, which carry with them their own set of complications).  What I have been leading up to, though, is the best formula that applies to all couples, straight, gay or otherwise..and in fact all relationships in general...that is, if you are truly attentive to your significant other and he/she is communicative about his/her needs, then you will have your own special way to communicate an apology that is perfect for both you and your significant other.  Perhaps it is indeed sex.  Perhaps your significant other loves nothing more (besides you) than a nice bottle of wine.  Or maybe your significant other has been trying to get you to join him in one of his favorite activities and you can see yourself giving in just once as a sincere gesture of your apology.  And most men AND women love to be pampered and cared for in any genuinely sincere way...cooking them dinner, giving them a massage, etc. In other words...only YOU know the right action or special gift to give as a sign that you are truly sorry that will soften your significant other's heart and tear down their defenses bringing you back to love...

I'll be blunt, as men are simple creatures: 9 times out of 10 an apology and a blow job will do the trick. Pretty sure this won't work the other way around, and there's a reason why apology flowers are more effective than sex with women.

Hmmm. I am so tempted to say that women are never wrong :-) I have done the following: 1. Sent a card expressing my sorrow for my wrongness (and apologizing) 2. Bought a personal gift and accompanied it with a heartfelt apology

A handwritten, heartfelt note.  Leave it on his desk, nightstand, etc.

http://time.com/2895799/im-sorry-pantene-shinestrong/ The feminists say that women apologize too much. So, they aren't supposed to apologize, let alone give you anything to show it.

Say sorry and be done with it. No present required! Unlike women, men are not hard to please. Women at times say that their men don't do enough for them; with men however, that most often is never the case. Women can make men draw a line under disagreements by having a simple lovely conversation. That's how easy and impeccably simple it is!
