Without even an attractive photo or cartoon, the book “Everything Men Know About Women” by psychologist Dr. Alan Francis is pretty good for a quick laugh.

For those hoping to learn (or be entertained) about what men know about women through book knowledge, this compilation of [blank pages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worlds-simplest-journalling-guide) would be a decent [gag gift](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/its-not-the-thought-that-counts) if the price was reasonable, but not much more.

In some instances, this book might be pretty accurate… or maybe the pages were left blank for note taking and doodling?

Any thoughts?
