Women base things on emotion. Men base them on logic.

Because like elephants, they NEVER forget.
Some women do it because they are offended. Others do it because they are downright spoiled or very insecure. Women are a product of their environment. Much is expected of them from society, and they constantly compete with one another. Women check each other out more than they check you guys out! Why? Because they are afraid they won't measure up. So when someone shakes that confidence or bursts their bubble or whatever...look out...some women never recover.
I think though that men can hold grudges for a long time too...again I think it's got to do with self-esteem deep down, or something that went really wrong because people should all learn to lighten up and not take life so seriously.

not ALL women do... but, women tend to take things more personally then men do. If we feel wronged or offended, then someone must right the wrong and hold a grudge until we feel better about the situation or just don't care anymore.
Emotionally we are just made up differently then men. Best thought I can come up with...

Nah its the other way around. Men hold grudges longer A man can cheat on a woman and she will most likely forgive him because of her love for him. BUT if a woman cheats on a man he usually wont forgive her even if he loves her dearly , he just wont look at her the same way ever again

No ALL women do and men can be pretty good at holding long grudges as well...So unless you know every single woman on this planet you can't make a judgemental statement that they all hold grudges...

Ever heard the old expression "h*ll has no fury like a woman scorned"? We wrote the book and since men are no suppose to display any emotion other than Me Tarzan, women have a wide open field to play this one on.

Women are much more emtional and feelers than men. We need to ta;lk things thru until it has been talked about frontwards, backwArds..sideways..upsidedown and in and out. If we can't..trust me..it often stays in us stewing slowly until it comes exploding out of us! When a man often thinks the subject has been long gone and forgotten about..he will usally find he was mistaken in that.

because women are more sensitive than men and it takes them a lot of thinking to get over things. Just the way it is.

I don't think you can really generalize like that. I have known men to hold grudges for a very long time/until death even.

Hormones and I think because they had to take protect their children from predators. Men would be off hunting and women would fend off wild animals. The women would need an extra burst of energy to fight off strange men that wandered into their camp/cave & would try to eat their children.
