A woman showing up naked with beer, and will allow you to watch the big game on TV.

To be happy, of course.

Sex and a sandwich. Not necessarily in that order.

Sex, love, and money.

I want some better SciFi shows. And a good internet connection. And a functioning air conditioner.
I can’t speak for the other few-hundred-million of them.

Sex, money, adoration

@boots The question description specifies American men.

BoBo1946's avatar

oh, men want the same thing that women want, to be loved and respected!

Neizvestnaya's avatar

TV, video games, booze, strippers and sex with a live woman when they’re bored of all else.

kevbo's avatar

@hawaii_jake, and some peace and quiet. Amen.

Money, Sex, Drugs, and Alcohol

kenmc's avatar

It saddens me that this is what people think American men actually want.

Blackberry's avatar

@boots I’m a guy, and I know many other American guys…....This is what I want lol :P\

I saw a bumper sticker the other day that said, “Real men love Jesus Christ”. I literally started laughing out loud in my car. ‘Effing Hilarious. Maybe that is what real american men want.

To not be sterotyped as Stanley Kowalski

Aster's avatar

@Austinlad That’s what everyone thinks. They want more than just one thing.

Aster's avatar

@Austinlad Good ole Stanley. What did he want? Sex, poker winnings, beer, respect.

I would love this in the hands of my hottie…now we are having fun!! ;)

Neizvestnaya's avatar

@Cruiser: nice looking but you must have some buff sweetie for her to weild a 12 guage.

SeventhSense's avatar

1.A hot naked woman to fondle, fuck or gawk at
2.A cold beer,
3.A game of some type to watch or play
Any or all of these three but definitely the first unless of course he’s gay and the you can just substitute the word man for woman.

The trifecta would be of course a hot naked women with a glass between her breast to catch the quarters you were bouncing into the drink.

Cruiser's avatar

@Neizvestnaya The 12 gauge is just for show on the range…the real fun starts with the long guns and the bigger the better…size does matter for her!! ;)

Love. Admiration. Success.

BoBo1946's avatar

It’s too bad that men mature slower than the girls. Believe me, i matured later also. Now, that i’m older, can see men making the same assumptions and comments that i might have made 20 years ago. Having said that, some men like to coverup their soft side. Being a man, is not gauged by a man’s prowess, but how he treats every human being that he comes in contact with.

BoBo1946's avatar

Btw, Jesus Christ was no sissified, namsy, pamsy guy. When he went to the temple and kicked the “money changer’s” ass that was a real man. I’m always amused how some people look at Jesus. He was not a weakling, quite the contrary, a man’s man.

Aster's avatar

@BoBo1946 Many people think He never existed. I guess it’s the “in” thing now. So I guess John the Baptist, Judas and the Apostle Paul didn’t exist either. Boo, we need to get with the program!

BoBo1946's avatar

@Aster i’ll always believe. Everyone has to make their own decision.

I’d really like to fall in love with a romantic woman,where I can always be myself and her too. I love doing cheesy chivalry things. Remembering the little beautiful details of her. To sweep a woman off her feet while she steals my heart.

That is what this “American man” really wants…And who knows maybe other “American men” too?

lonelydragon's avatar

To be admired. If a woman admires him, it does not matter whether she’s attractive or not…she can convince him to fall in love with her. JMO.

SeventhSense's avatar

@lonelydragon
That’s a little oversimplified…but tell me more about me I’m fascinated..

lonelydragon's avatar

@SeventhSense It does sound implausible, but I assure you that many times, it holds true. I have seen it happen on more than one occasion. One girl of my acquaintance, who wasn’t particulary attractive (she had a severe face with a personality to match, and an unprepossessing figure), happened to snag this really cute guy friend of mine just by persistently showing up wherever he was, hanging out with him, and very openly displaying her admiration for him. Several more attractive, pleasant-tempered girls were interested in him, but this young woman was the only one with the guts to go for it. According to social psychology, knowing that someone likes us influences us to like them in return, even if our admirer isn’t someone that we would have paid attention to before.

GeorgeGee's avatar

That’s the “bird in hand” theory, anyway.

Blackberry's avatar

I’ll admit I have done that in the past: liking someone because they showed how much they like me. Of course I require more from someone now lol.
