Forget and Forgive

This I have noticed is the policy that most of those of the other species follow. Which species is that you are asking. It is the not so rare and very common species called the MALE! They even share common characteristics and there is hardly any difference between each male.

Usually the policy for human beings is forgive and forget. However most of the male species follow a unique approach of Forget and Forgive. What you ask? Well its only well known by the male species, but watch out. We're figuring out your typical traits slowly but surely!

Type 1: Forget and Forgive
There would be an argument. The girl would remember very clearly what happened and would be arguing her point. The guy would say how unreasonable her argument is and say things actually happened another way (Forget part). However I think the forgetting is rather convenient forgetting (used to their advantage). Then the argument goes on for a while, the guy just gets unnecessarily worked up about it.
Then here comes the make forgive part. The girl most of the time being the more sane and mature one decides there's no use continuing the argument and says a typical statement like ok lets change the topic. Then seeing this weak and forgiving moment of the female the male species pounces upon the opportunity to run a guilt trip. Somehow they always make it happen. Then the females for some reason feel bad, even though they know they don't have to and nothing was their fault. Then the males forgive the female out of the "goodness in their heart" and delude themselves thinking they are the better person.

Type 2: Forget and Forgive
I never realised how unreasonable guys can be until my friend told me this story. She was with a guy and then they broke up. It was a mutual split, but they decided to remain friends. She was more enthusiastic about the friendship than he ever was. They continued talking as friends. Then this girl starts seeing another guy. Out of courtesy she tells him she is seeing this other guy. Here's where the "Fun" starts.
The guy conveniently forgets that they have split up and gets very annoyed about her seeing this other guy. She feels bad because afterall, there used to be something between them and she understood he must be a little upset. So she profusely apologizes for something once again that she doesn't have to apologize for. Then the guy once again thinks he is all great and all and forgives the girl. Also out of his great heart he decides to grant her permission to see the new guy. LOL!

Type 3: Forget and Forgive
There are 2 friends. They both talk to each other fairly often. Once again the female is more keen about the friendship than the male, or so it seems. This male suddenly develops a new friendship and the possibility of more with another female. So this female gets ditched virtually. Whenever the female asks him if he wants to be friends he says definitely. When they talk they have great conversations and obviously they both know they make great friends.
But what happens is the male species goes on trying to find more suitable and other females to commit to. So now this female the best friend gets totally ignored. There is an argument about how much ignoring is going on and the male makes excuses time after time and avoids all confrontation. Then suddenly the female says lets draw the line and speak up and try to sort out the issue.
Then the argument continues. The male suddenly gets totally angry at something totally on a tangent to the topic and voila what do you know. The female is saying sorry for something which she does not have to be sorry about. What does the male do? That's right you guessed it. He forgives her for all the misdeeds she has apparently done through saying the friendship is falling apart. Talk about inequality!

*********************************************************
Females speak up and do not put up with this nonsense. No matter how "good" the male is, they are all of the same species. Have a stance for yourself and do not give in, show them and make them realize how much you are worth. You do not need to apologize, they do! Try to teach them the right way around. "Forgive and Forget", which is what the females should be doing. You are worth as much or I would say even more than them.
