What Every Man Thinks About Apart from Sex

by Sheridan Simove

Apart from "sex," what does a man actually think about? Nothing, according to the blank pages of this book!   For millennia, humans have marveled at the difference between men and women. It's widely known that the female gender is far superior to men in most areas—emotionally, cognitively, and socially. But, to date, the complex secrets of a man's mind have eluded science. In this groundbreaking book, Professor Sheridan Simove reveals the true depth of a man's mind.

Genres: Humor, Nonfiction

I am genuinely astonished to discover how many bestsellers there are these days which have no content except for a cover and a supposedly amusing title. I knew reading skills had declined in recent years, but I hadn't realised that we'd already reached this level.

Well, I take it all back about Harry Potter, Twilight, Divergent, Fifty Shades etc. Guys and gals, if you're still able to read a book that actually contains words, then go for it. I'm sorry I said all those unfeeling elitist things. I didn't know.

دو روی یک سکه

مردان بجز سکس به چه چیزی فکر می‌کنند؟ ≡ زنان بجز پول به چه چیزی فکر می‌کنند؟
نویسنده در این کتاب تلاش کرده به این پرسش پاسخ بده که مردها بجز سکس به چه چیزی فکر می‌کنن؟ جوابی که به این سوال داده، نزدیک دویست صفحه برگ سفید هست، که یعنی فقط و فقط سکس
کتاب شوخی بامزه‌ای هست، اما از نوع جنسیش و مصداق بارز سکسیسم. شوخی جنسیتی از هر نوعی که باشه نکوهیده‌ست. می‌شه بهش حسابی خندید ولی در نهایت به تبعیض منجر می‌شه. بارها و بارها در سطح جامعه شنیدیم که آقایون استدلالی هم‌ارز این گزاره رو در مورد زنان به‌کار می‌برن: زن‌ها بجز پول به چیزی فکر نمی‌کنن. اگر یکی از این گزاره‌ها براتون زشت بنظر می‌رسه و دیگری نه، (هشتگ) این_یعنی_یک_اشکالی_هست
پس به جای خنده، شیطان رو در نطفه خفه کن

مردان به چه چیزی غیر از سکس فکر می کنند؟

A tree in a South American rainforest is crying. His mother stretches a consoling branch around his shivering trunk. “Why does daddy have to die?” he blubbers. “Honey, I told you before. Don’t be a sap. A British author, performer, and entrepreneur wants to express a thought that is almost amusing.” A small bird sups at the tears on the little tree’s bark. “What sort of thought?” he asks. “He wants to show that male humans are obsessed with sexual intercourse, and that their obsession with sexual intercourse is somewhat inhibiting and unproductive in relation to modern gender expectations.” The tree brushes away the bird. “Any daddy has to die to help make this point?” “Not only your daddy, honey. Such is the popularity of this book, thousands of other daddies and mummies have to die too. But it is almost humorous, honey. Remember that millions of humans, our superiors, will smirk at the title and order the book for a friend, who will smirk at the title, and then frown heavily upon opening the actual book. It is their way, son. We cannot claim to understand the magisterial intelligence of our betters.”

I read this book without even having to buy it. What could be more amazing than that?

[Timothy Dalton · Rating 1 out of 5]

Fastest book I've ever read! I just couldn't put it down. I was so glued to the book that I read it in the book store as I was perusing other titles! The main reason it is such a quick read is because all 200 pages move at an alarming pace. It really delves right down to the core of the male psyche as well as giving people a greater understanding to see the real depth to the male species. Ladies I wish it was a little deeper than this, but sadly it's not! 200 blank and empty pages! So now that you know this, you can see that we men really are an open book. It's just sad that we aren't a very interesting one, as you can clearly see we don't really have any other interests at all.

خیلیییی بانمکه که خوندن یه کتاب رو فقط با دیدن جلدش، در عرض دو ثانیه تموم کنی:))
بنظرم پرفروش بودنش احتمالا بخاطر اینه که ملت میخرنش و بعنوان دفترچه ازش استفاده میکنن ...
وگرنه فلسفی، جامعه‌شناختی، روانشناختی و هرجور که به قضیه نگاه کنیم، بنظرم صد در صد ادعای نویسنده رو رد میکنیم ...

I must say, I do deserve adding this book because I have read a thing or two about the book and the author (by author himself actually). Having said that, this is the most sexist and the least frank book I have ever "read." Personally, I believe this piece of shit has had its own share on deteriorating the figure of men in public. We can safely assign this book to hall of fame of capitalism and hall of shame of writing at the same time. If there is a book that needs to be banned, that is this one. I mean, we are basically cutting down trees, wasting precious time of workers and factories just to pay living expenses of Sheridan Simove who has just made an awful joke.
He doesn't even deserve my wtf shelf.

like wow you're being really funny promoting gender clishes and sexism AND WASTING FREAKING PAPERS AND MONEY AND MY NERVOUS SYSTEM

[Audra · Rating 3 out of 5]

It is blank on the inside. I'm glad I didn't spend money on this as it was a freebie. I feel like this isn't terribly accurate as to what men think about other than sex, I give men a little more credit than that. I feel like many men think about their families or if they don't have one, the one they hope to have one day. I also think many men think about food, sports or videogames or both.

کافر همه را به کیش خود پندارد
ممکنه در مورد خیلیا صدق بکنه ولی فقط احمق ها یک نوع روش زندگی رو برای همه قائل میشن و از اونجایی که الان داریم تو دنیایی زندگی میکنیم که داره دیستوپیایی میشه ، طبیعیه همچین کتابایی پرفروش باشن.بشر هم بیشتر به جای فکر عملی دنبال یه ایده جدیده صرفا که شاید لزوما بدردش نخوره و درست هم نباشه حتی....
ریت بالاش هم نشون میده آدما بیشتر به جای مستقیم حرف زدن این روزا دنبال کنایه زدن غیر مستقیمن

The idea might have been a joke, but to pursue it to this level of sale numbers, I mean seriously? At what cost? Unfortunately there is no 0 stars here.

This review says it all.

(unfortunately there is no way in Goodreads to give a review without automatically marking it as "read". What do I have to do if I don't want to have anything to do with such an irresponsible author?)

Loved this book! It so hit the spot and was perfectly true.

نمیدونم یک پروفسور پیش خودش چطور به این نتیجه رسیده که مرد ها بجز سکس هیچ فکر دیگه ای ندارند ولی در کمال ناباوری ایشون کتابی با دویست صفحه خالی چاپ کردند و پرفروش ترین کتاب آمازون شده و خیلی هم محبوب شده این کتاب یا این جمله میوفتم که میگه

A really interesting book. Everyone should read it. I COULD NOT put it down before I finished reading the last word. A surprisingly quick read if you think about how thoroughly it studies a man's mind.

xD LOL, but seriously when I heard of this book I just had to give it 5 stars for the funny idea xD

This is a "classic" I remember from many years ago. The fact that it is now available in ebook form only makes it that much more relevant.

[Shoti · Rating 1 out of 5]

If an alien ship lands on Earth after global warming has eradicated human life and its passengers search for an explanation of why the human species could not figure out a better use of available resources to halt the disaster, then I hope they will find a fossil of this book. That would clarify a lot and also mitigate their sorrow for not being able to meet us.

WARNING ALL - THIS BOOK IS COMPLETELY BLANK!!!

If you didn't know this before, please don't waste your money.

As a gag it's fine, just don't charge money for this piece of garbage!!!!!!

[Tim Roast · Rating 5 out of 5]

If I was to compare this to previous literature I would have to say that it is like the chapter from Len Shackleton's autobiography "Clown Prince of Soccer" entitled "The average director's knowledge of football" which is also blank but that would be missing the point of this book.

This book is what it is. A novelty product designed to make you laugh. And laugh you will. In fact it is ideal for sharing as it is so quick to get to the punchline. And because it is cheap it would make a great gift perhaps for the/a man in your life, or maybe you could buy it for the secret Santa gift you will inevitably need to get at Christmas time.

Of course if you disagree with the author you could also buy this book and fill in each page with what you believe men do think about apart from sex, like a football on page 1, a pint of beer on page 2, a Ferrari on page 3, and after that I struggle. But you can use the blank pages fro whatever you want (one reviewer already mentioned to write a novel in).

However one word of caution on this product, if you are after a substantial read then steer clear and maybe buy something else, like Shed Simove's other book to find out why he makes these products, or maybe Len Shackleton's book or perhaps the pop-up Pamela Anderson book you've been promising yourself, whoops...

Great book about something I already knew. This is just great reading material for every girlfriend, wife, future wife or love. Once you know what this book is all about, you know how to handel your guy. Or any guy.
