It does show great strength and courage; not to mention, the kind of respect for women that is mostly desired by women in a man, Furthermore; it is by no means a belittlement to the man to admit to his mistakes, because there exist an unspoken promise that a wise, healthy-minded man will always learn from his mistakes and move forward with his personal integrity. What could be SEXIER than that?!? By far, a face-to-face, eye-to-eye apology is most greatly appreciated and respected when speaking to a woman.

There is such [manly] strength in apologizing, just as there is strength in surrendering. It is unfortunate, though, that today many apologies are offered via the internet. A face-to-face (I really mean eye-to-eye) apology shows more courage, heart and respect. What a great article.

It requires action. An apology may set the relationship on a better course, but if the person is truely sorry, he or she shows it by doing things that are meaningful to the trangressed person. ie) cook a special dinner, buy a meaningful gift, or do something that is important that is relevant to the initial apology, etc.. An apology is simply a gesture of reconciliation. It's meaningless if it isn't accepted. If the event is important enough, a verbal apology isn’t enough. It requires action.
