Old Richie Print "article"

From Marie Claire magazine, 2002:

This popped in my Google Alerts as being a topic of [brief] discussion on Dry County.  There's some commentary about how this doesn't sound like Richie at all, that the voice is wrong.  This was countered with a (somewhat sarcastic) response of (and I'm paraphrasing here): Quotation marks  would be used for direct quotes, and magazines do have editorial staff...

I have to say, some of the responses sound totally Richie-ish to me, and I actually said "Awww" at some of them and thought, "Now THIS is why I love him!"  But, the editorial staff probably cleaned up some of the responses, and there are probably other things Richie wants us to know about men that didn't make the cut because they were too naughty to publish in Marie Claire.

In case it's hard to read, here are the 10 Things to Know About Men, from Richie:

1. Men know what women want.
2. We actually like to be romantic.
3. We know you call and hang up.
4. If you say, "Call me," we won't.
5. We do masturbate.
6. We want to make you feel good.
7. We wouldn't care what we look like if you didn't care what we look like.
8. We want you to be our mothers.
9. We don't mind it when you dress us.
10. We're terrified you'll break our hearts

So let me ask you.  You Richie Aficionados out there.  What do you think was left off the list?  What do you think probably wasn't REALLY what Richie was trying to get across?

Use your very best "Richie Voice" and tell us.

And for the record Rich, I'd never, EVER, be tired of sex and diamonds.  EVER.  Hell, I come with my own diamonds, so I don't even really need those....
