Ignore and won't listen, what is the difference?

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?

土妹,

除非老土与你的关系是皇帝与妃子的关系, 否则你一定会对老土有要求的,而且这些要求不能满足时,你会离他而去. 那篇文章就是在说如何判断一个男人是否在乎一个女人,她是否是在他的心上.

其实ignore 与 does not listen 之间的区别很小，很大程度上两词能替换. 如果真要区分，我的理解是 ignore 有点negative tone。而does not listen 是个中性词。 但是从上面举的例子来说， does not listen 都是些个鸡毛蒜皮的小事，而ignore 里的例子都是些重要的事情。 当一个男人对他的女人在她认为是重要的事情上漠不关心时，那么女的就会中断这样的爱情，或婚姻，除非他有皇帝权利或主控着经济大权。。

You can give him your top priorities, but i think you must certainly care about whether you are on the top of his priorities as well.

Then why bother to tell him? I won't.
I will not lose anything if I give him all the priorities.
