On the internet, funny trends pop up all the time. You might’ve heard of "girl math". Initially, it was a light-hearted and witty joke. It served as a playful way for women to justify their spending habits by pretending they had a unique method for calculating expenses. It wasn't meant to be a serious analysis of mathematical abilities but just a fun way to enjoy spending on things you like.
Like many online phenomena, "girl math" took an unexpected turn. It evolved from a joke into an argument when some men online took it a tad too seriously. Instead of recognizing it as playful banter, they saw it as an opportunity to criticize women for lacking math skills. The situation escalated into a gendered debate about mathematical mastery, giving rise to a new internet trend: "boy math."
The emergence of "boy math" posts was a response to the fuss over "girl math." Women who started the joke felt unfairly targeted. So, they decided to create a jest about men as well. "Boy math" involves women sharing funny and ridiculous things men do. It’s like a way to say, "Hey, we can all share a laugh without taking things too seriously." Scroll down to join in on the fun!

The fact that some men believe this shows just how emotional they are.
I got another! So this happened to me, my ex cheated but we stayed together, i know i know, we opened up our relationship. I was getting so much D and he got NONE!
agreed - ever tried to get a tubal ligation when you are still in your reproductive years. "No, you might change your mind and want kids". Men still policing women's bodies.
Instead of talking about money or extravagant spending, "guy math" is all about making fun of some silly things that guys do. Like when they say they're 6 feet tall, but in reality, they're 5'10”. While a few posts use real math, most of them are more on the creative side.
A million times this!! It doesn't matter how decent a guy you are (and I am sure you are) if you don't grasp the nettle and call your friend/work colleague/acquintance out for his 'jokes' then you are literally telling him that you agree with him and feeding the whole system. Just a simple "dude, that's not cool, don't be that guy" is all we ask of you.
Yo David! 👇 Do yourself a favor and stop watching Andrew Tate and log off all social media for 6 months. Otherwise you'll be miserable for the rest of your life.
While "girl math" was mostly fun and light-hearted, where women playfully explained the quirky logic of the trend, "boy math" jokes have recently taken a more serious turn. Some of the most liked posts now talk about topics like age gaps in relationships. For example, one post says, "Boy math is searching for someone 18 at the big age of 50," or "Boy math is being above 30 and dating girls in their late teens or early 20s because you know they can't see the loser in you."
Well in the GOP's defense, they are a party of men with the mental capacity of a 14 year old boy
One of my mottos is "I will respect you when you *earn* my respect."
"Girl math" and "boy math" started as funny internet trends but they've grown into something more interesting. People are using them to show how our society is changing. These trends also make a lot of people laugh and get creative. So, they're not just jokes anymore; they're like a fun part of the internet where people talk about life in a funny way.
Nope. Honestly, ten years, tops. everything above that and it starts getting creepy.
Boy math is to cry about how all women are gold diggers but at the same time hustling so hard to get the money that would attract those exact same women they're crying about.
Beyond the humor of "girl math" and "boy math," these trends provide valuable insights into the way internet culture shapes and reflects broader societal norms.
The heated discussions sparked by "girl math" and "boy math" highlight the ongoing conversation around gender stereotypes. While the trends started as satire, they opened up spaces for conversations about the societal expectations placed on women and men when it comes to finances, emotions, and behavior.
What is a body count? Whenever I read this it makes me think of murder and like a kill count
Okay, some of these make absolutely no sense to me? Where is this an insult? And specifically for women?
@David: you're hilarious for a 13 year old boy. Or 40+ old frustrated man. I can't tell the difference.🤣
Or “technically” doing the same number of chores, but he does all the fast easy stuff.
Posting this to cover up something from a certain David... happy Monday! :)
Boy maths is asking her when she's going to come and cook for you and thinking she'll still be your girlfriend afterwards.
“I will take care of your children, but only if I can bone you”
How about the man who is working himself half to death trying to make it equal. Honey, we're both in this together. I'd rather spend time with you.
I just want to say that all of you pandas are beautiful and wonderful and I hope you have a fantastic day. Except for David. David can shove a Cape buffalo up his urethra, horns first.
Or a massive gaming system, 6 mounted computer screens but sleeps on a mattress with no sheets or pillow cases
*sigh* CHILD SUPPORT IS NOT ENOUGH TO LIVE ON. It barely covers basic expenses in most cases.
Some of these read like very individual experiences of women that might want to reconsider the sorts of relationships they keep getting into.
That's fair. I don't like getting flowers for that reason and paying $10 seems like far too much!
Hmmm, that would depend on how many messages you are sending them and how frequently.
Girl math is sexist but this isn't? Edit: Aha, I see I was just early!
Yes it is, just wait a few hours for the downvotes. The pandas will speak up.

He can't afford it. Math isn't his strong point.
Load More Replies... Wow, last week was a 'girl math' thread, and they were all kinda cute and funny, and innocent. And most of the posts were from girls. This week we get a 'boy math' thread. And the majority of them are nasty, and dismissive, and negative. And again, most of the posts are from girls. Thanks for pointing out what a**holes we men are.
It’s some men. Certain men. A type of man. Definitely all men do not apply to the above, at all. But the ones that do, they know who they are!

BoredPanda has officially become Buzzfeed Jr. If BoredPanda ever starts posting sex tips and quizzes like "Pick Five Breakfast Cereals and We'll Tell you What Type of Dictator You Are" I'm packing my bags and running far away from the Internet.
Well, the sex tips will all be full of censored blurred out texts and strange [euphemisms] in square brackets. Won't be able to read them.

Wow I went into this expecting "boy math is have 5 socket sets but no 10mm anywhere" and wound up with "boy math is being a s****y person but thinking you're not"... but for everyone roasting David, "Don't Feed The Trolls." Downvote and move on. Replying is the most human engagement ppl like that get.
Ah, yes ... 5 socket sets but no 10mm I understand all too well! 😀

Ok what were all of the girl math ones written by women but none of these are written by men like wtf
How toxic is this thread compared to the cutesy list of the women? Boy Math is always needing a new tool to do the job, while 'keeping the old for spare.'
kinda seems like "boy math" is just something that sad women use to explain their s**t taste in men.
Oh, if only I could give you 1,000,000 votes. And just to be clear: I mean in an election.

Social Media Maths - Aim for the lowest common denominator with your articles. Congrats BP, A+!
hahaha, it’s not math. It’s “doesn’t add up”. But using Math as a cute word for something that doesn’t add up.

Human math is replying to slight sexism with extreme sexism
This whole article makes me glad to be gay. There’s no power struggle between my partner and me. We are on the same page. Support one other. An inseparable team of two.
The "girl math" stuff was a joke written by women to joke about their foibles. This $#!+ is mysandrist garbage written by bitter people because bashing males is something to celebrate but mysandry is a myth.
"girl math" was originally a light-hearted comment on the way some people think. Now the original joke has fallen into the gender wars algorithm and the output is the above.
Not only are these incredibly mean-spirited, they’re not funny, which is even worse.
"These are supposed to be light hearted and funny," says one commenter. Yeah, that didn't work, so I'M WITH DAVID 😕. At least if it's going to be an obnoxious and insulting echo chamber someone should get to push back 😂
aint gon lie im not gonna comment because the second you say anything on the singular posts you'll get downvoted to hell ill just stick to over here in this comment section with sane people
Load More Replies... This is so stupid. These all can apply to women I know as well as men I know
I'm just sad I missed David. Everyone is talking about him, but I don't see any of his comments.
Boy math is thinking we should be grateful they gave us the vote. Like who else was gonna do it? Us??
Man, I wasn't aware BoredPanda was just going to take Buzzfeed's place. Great. /s
Another one I can't see. Anyone else having more and more problems with the app?
This list was ridiculous. Men out there should just let women do it all. Fix their own cars and homes. Women only fixing a power outage. Do women realize nothing in the world would exist without men. If it were all us women we would still be living in grass huts. I apologize guys, not all of us hate men. Just think twice before you lift something heavy for any woman.
There are tons of single mothers out there because the baby daddies have abandoned them. Way more than the other way around.
Hey, you remember all those people complaining about how marriage was a sexist, patriarchical, hate-worthy oppression forced on women by men? Remember all the hatred at the men trying to explain that marriage isn't about showing off how you can spend $50,000 to show off to all your friends and family, but was to ensure that families were always well-provided for? Well, let me make clear that those baby daddies are despicable, but save a little disgust for the folks who tried to argue that making babies didn't have anything to do with making formal, long-term, witnessed commitments.
