I am going to share something, here, and some may find it neanderthal, but I have actually found it useful. In all of my "alpha male" reading and reconnecting, I came across one widely read blog that made it a point to say "men don't apologize"... They may acknowledge that "mistakes were made", or even rarely that "I can and will do better" but "'i was wrong' and 'I'm sorry' should never cross your lips."
On a similar note, My woman will thank me for a good time in bed. I always respond "My Pleasure" but never thank her.
