今天读到一篇文章,讲到ignore 与 won't listen 的区别。故转来欣赏。
This article talks about how a woman should be looking for signs to dump a man who is not interested in the relationship with the woman. I think the same rule applies to women as well. :)
Dump-worthy: He ignores
Not dump-worthy: He doesn't listen
There is a difference. The way I see it, the guy who doesn't listen is the guy who spaces out on TV when a woman is asking if he liked that night's chili. A guy who doesn't listen is a guy who forgets to cap the toothpaste despite the fact he's been told 12 times in the last six days. Annoying? Sure. Deal-breakers? No. On the other hand, a guy who ignores is the kind of guy who always puts himself first by ignoring the things that are important to you-like chronically forgetting an anniversary or birthday, or not asking how a doctor's appointment went, or choosing his golf game over her family get-together. Once in a while may be fine, but when it happens all the time, it means that his priorities don't include you.
Clear enough?
