In one word, men want 'speed':
Fast cars.
Faster bikes.
Fast gadgets.
Fast food.
Fast girls.
Faster sex.
Fast-moving traffic.
Fast money.
Books they can read fast.
Games they can play fast.
It's all about speed, baby. Either get a move on, or just "move on", like in the Fastrack adverts.
And in addition to speed, men want a pampered ego. Hence:
They do not like it when they are proved wrong.
They do not want to admit that they don't know something.
They do not like asking for directions.
They cannot handle being ignored.
Yes, they are a silly bunch. But sweet too. We can't live without them but we also can't not complain about them. Men are touted 'practical' while women 'emotional' but I often feel that this is overgeneralized and quite wrong. They may be the more logical of the sexes but they are equally emotional, just that they don't like to/can't/are embarrassed/afraid to express it.
Even with the speed-obsession and the massive swollen egos, what men REALLY want isn't too different from what we women want:
They want someone to love them more than they love themselves.
They want to come home to an attractive person and decent dinner and dessert. And possibilities thereafter. ;)
They want someone to hold in joy.
They want to be held in sorrow.
They want freedom of opinion and action.
They want intelligent conversation. And other kinds of conversation too. :P
They want their space. They do not want to be mothered.
They want to be flirted with and flattered.
They want to be pampered, just not in front of their guy pals.
They want time with their friends and their alcohol and their video games and their porn too.
They want to be trusted.
They want to feel macho and superhero-like.
They want peace of mind.
They want to feel good about themselves.
Considering that, I guess men are straight forward and easy to please. But that's only if they're 'normal' men. There are plenty of psychos out there: the kind who want nothing but sex, or porn, or alcohol or girls. The kind that cannot help but stray, the kind that cannot help but hurt others. The kind that are tearing the world apart because of their dangerous obsessions and addictions and their clouded, filthy, power-hungry minds.
Men amaze me, puzzle me, amuse me, all at once. Now, could someone please tell me if I have accurate ideas of what in god's name it is that they truly want? Especially the kind who look like this:
And this: 
Oh, and this too:
Ok, I shall stop now. Sigh.

Hey, Hi...
well, quite different, but somewhat still the same...a good perception and a good conception of the whole thing, ok to be precise, MEN...
An entity, a being...we are all the same, what differentiates us all is what we believe in...Simple.
A good read,
Regards,
The Silhouette...
'faster sex'??hell no!or do you mean a quickie by that eh?well if the sex was that fast it would be you girlies getting dissatisfied :P
I think you are right on the dot on what men in-general want,..... and also right on the over-generalization of men and women.
and as you yourself said, aren't all those things that every human being wants,..... so that means girls want the same things,... just slower than men,.... so we(men) have lesser retention spans i guess,....... aah hell its taking me too long to write this reply, and i'm getting bored!
PS: I don't know about the first two guys but Shahid Kapoor wanted Kareena but she wanted Saif, so i guess now he's still searching!
thank you, the silhouette..
@ pratik, thank you for your first ever comment on my blog. and what a comment at that!
@ Anonymous, haha, if only Shahid Kapur was searching for me now. :P
Wow, men do seem to want a lot! :D
This post made laugh at certain points (in a good way).
"what men REALLY want isn't too different from what we women want"
The above line pretty much sums up whatever I have to say.
"Now, could someone please tell me if I have accurate ideas of what in god's name it is that they truly want?"
In my opinion, I think you are pretty close to the bullseye mark. I guess you've been studying us men for quite some time huh?
Hmmm...interesting.
Nice post. Thank you.
interestinggg!!!!
@ Pratik: Dude, nothing.
@ Mehak: Sadly I look nothing like the ones in the pics but if you still want an opinion, I hate to say that it was just too accurate! Awesome! Some points were like...Shit..this is me...really...oh fuck, i suck!
Some guy is going to get real lucky real soon!
well y sudden interest in what men want ??
@ Shail, yes they do. sigh.
@ Ronin, yeah.. i guess so. :P
@ resh4ever, thank u for the read..
@ Mangoman, hehe, i'm glad i was accurate!
@ laddu, the post was for a contest on BlogAdda.
I don't know if this was your experience talking or the generalizations, but I like and agree with most points here; except the quick-sex part! ;)
Had I been the judge, you'd have scored a perfect 9.5 for this post! :P
Sourav, it was mostly just what i have observed and interpreted. ah, i wish you were the judge! and then i would WIN too! :)
