7 things women should know about relationships

A list I saw in the "Relevant" magazine said that women should know the following things about their potential partners:

• Your love isn't going to change him.  Love him for who he is - not who you wish him to be.  Otherwise, you are going to be disappointed.
• Men want to feel needed.  He won't be there for you if you don't need him.
• He already has a mother.  You don't need to be a second one to him.
• Look for a life-time commitment.  Not just one that gets fleeting attention.
• Manipulation will sour the relationship.  Eventually.
• Men are not mind-readers.  Tell him what you want him to know.  Tell him directly.
• He is not your last chance.  There is likely to be others.

Does the list seem pretty obvious to you?  Do you think it applies for all women?

What do you think women should know about men?  Is this list complete?

I see that this list emphasises honesty and commitment.  I like that in boy-girl relationships.  Do you?
