Male mistakes: why they don't admit them

“Sometimes in a dispute with your husband you just want to throw a pillow at him! Well, he’s not right, but he still stands his ground! And why is he so stubborn? - probably every second woman at least once in her life exclaimed something like that. Men do sometimes baffle us with their belief in something that is a priori wrong. But they prove to the last, look with honest eyes and never admit to a mistake. And we are annoyed, we cannot find the words, we lose our temper. It is unlikely that your loved one is deliberately seeking tears, tantrums and righteous anger. The inability to admit that they are wrong is characteristic of the majority of the stronger sex. Well, what can you do - that's how they are.

In order to make it easier to relate to the masculine: “There are two opinions - mine and the wrong one”, it is worth understanding why all men, as one, adhere to this position. No, the point is not that they are incorrigible egoists and think only of themselves. There are reasons for this outlook on life, and we women, unfortunately, cannot do anything with them. Is that to reconcile.

He is used to being a leader

A rare man does not strive to become the best at least in something. In their careers, sports, fishing, hunting - they are constantly fighting for primacy, believing that this is a true sign of a successful person. And how can a leader be wrong about something? It warms his soul the realization that they listen to him, they consider him an expert in any field. And your careless remark about the mistake made can undermine his authority both in the eyes of others and in his own. To many men, this seems unacceptable.

Adult child

The inability to admit a mistake is often rooted in the time when he was still a child. Most often, the following reason comes from childhood: he, like almost all children, was scolded for mistakes and mistakes. Today, your adult and independent man, even despite his considerable (or not so) age, also does not want to be punished, therefore he prefers to defend his innocence to the last.

In addition, many of the stronger sex simply suffer from complexes acquired in childhood.

If your man's parents constantly told him that he was wrong, pointed out mistakes and mistakes, then, as an adult, he will most likely compensate for the lack of self-confidence, trying by hook or by crook to prove that his opinion is the only correct one … On the other hand, if a man was convinced from childhood that he was always and in everything right, then today he will not even think about a possible mistake.

He wants to be superman for you

And superman always does everything right. Such a superman has a beautiful girl who is madly in love with him, who does not even think that he can make a mistake in something. And even more so, beautiful girls do not remind supermen of mistakes, repeating from time to time: "Well, I told you." This is another reason why men do not admit they are wrong - once you admit it, then all your life you will listen to phrases like: “Do you remember, then you also said that you have to turn right? Then they searched for the road for two hours."

Many are simply unable to say, “I am guilty. Forgive me.

He's afraid to appear weak

It is difficult to say where this confidence in the heads of our beloved men comes from, but for some reason most of them believe that apologizing and admitting that they are wrong means showing weakness. Not all, of course, but many are simply not able to say: “I am guilty. Forgive me". There is an opinion that the matter is in emotional immaturity, they say, only a truly adult person can sensibly assess his behavior and draw certain conclusions, and this should not be expected from "youngsters".

He is susceptible to stereotypical thinking

Being confident that a man is the main person in the family, living at the behest of reason, and his ability to think logically is something perfect in comparison with the anecdotal feminine logic that has become, your partner will not even admit that he is wrong. How to behave in such a situation is up to you. But you are unlikely to be able to even slightly affect such a belief.

We think men are incapable of admitting their mistakes, and they, in turn, think the same about us.

An interesting fact - we think men are unable to admit their mistakes, and they, in turn, think the same about us. Of course, gender differences do not play a key role in matters of unwillingness or inability to honestly tell a partner, "Sorry, I'm wrong." Sometimes the representatives of the weaker sex rest their horns and stand their ground no worse than the most self-confident man. The only differences are that both we and they have their own reasons, often completely different. Realizing why your husband is constantly trying to prove his own innocence where it does not even smell, you can understand that he does not want to hurt you at all. It just doesn't work out otherwise.
