woman is more forgiving

Yes completely agree with you. Women are really more forgiving. Because as far as my experience I have had many instances when my mother has forgiven me for lot of offenses than my father. Actually the kindness is more in women compared to men. Women can tolerate anything without uttering a single word and this makes women great. Though we see that men are believed to be more superior than women still women are the backbone of a family.

I think so too. I also think there are many reasons as one writer put it we are hardwired differently, also we more readily accept the fact that forviness brings a peacful solution and we want that kind of inner peace. Then we do not have to fight the macho image, forgiveness is not seen as a weakness in women but it is seen as a weakness in men. Unfortunately this holds true even in many religions. Our message tonight at church was on forgiveness, seems to be on many minds these days.

i think so because it seems like most women are more soft hearted than men. =)

Perhaps it does seem that women can be more forgiving but I truly think it depends on relationships and people as a whole. Man can be just as gullible and forgiving as women, they just do not openly express it as such. So therefore, it is not openly know to many though.

I agree that far more women are willing to compromise than men. This is especially true in relationships. I do not know if it is the way women are portrayed in the media vs. the way men are, or if it is the way that we are hardwired. I think that men are more forgiving and get over things more easily, hence forgiveness being able to be given. I know how to hold a grudge as a woman. This grudge will keep me from giving my forgiveness easily. I am willing to compromise, even give in completely in some cases.
