girl math vs boy math

[franky1]

my topic is not about gender discrimination. its about how the youth view/share their own popular saving/spending methods/philosophies within their own peer/gender groups

"girl math" is a popular philosophy created by women and shared by women. its their own invention. they chose it and popularised it.
its not discrimination just to talk about the subject

im not saying all women think this way but its the current social media narrative of economics that women are branding themselves (most in the teen-25yo age range of females by females)

as for guys the popular trend is the save/invest and then buy products philosophy using the gains not the principal.
(it used to be just "YOLO a lambo")

the point of my post is not to discriminate by just mentioning the 2 trends.
it was to mention the two trends to compare the two different popular trends of modern economic 'teachings' (sharing) on social media

everyone knows for centuries women have always worked. even classical history and biblical and ancient greek/egyptian scriptures show that women have been leaders(cleopatra,catherine the great, elizabeth the first, queen victoria (hundreds more))
examples of medeival bakers, wheat milling, colonial times saloons, biblical inn's/vineyards, ancient and modern farms, dress makers, writers, modern office workers, etc[insert lots more jobs] show women have for centuries had jobs and a variety of them

however there have always been popularised trends of philosophies that change per era that cause different economics to be taught to change people views

EG men coming back from world wars returned and found lack of jobs. so to reduce the employment market competition (to open up more available jobs for veterans) there were misogynistic campaigns like the 1950's "women should be house wives"

my topic is not about the misogyny of one trend campaign vs another.. its more of the ECONOMIC differences between 2 current trends and how the results of following such trends cause different results

Men are better than women with money on average. Most men don’t spend excessively on non-essential items. Lots of women spend on excessive clothes, shows, make up. Obviously there are exceptions to the rule but it does seem that men are more responsible where spending & money management is concerned.

[iv4n]

This is a joke, right? Not all young girls and boys think like this. Maybe I could add another joke.

20yo girl: I don't have money. Maybe I should start an Onlyfans.
20yo boy: I don't have money. Maybe I should invest in crypto(By "crypto" he means NFTs, pump & dump shitcoins and memecoins)
4 years later....
24yo girl: Great! Now I can retire with the millions of dollars I made by showing my a$$ to horny paying simps on Onlyfans.
24yo boy: Damn it. That memecoin, which was supposed to be "the new Bitcoin" dropped down to zero. I lost my life savings and I'm broke.
I hope that McDonalds is hiring right now.

End of Story.

This is a good one, we should take a look at things with different perspective. Yesterday I saw some Tweet from some girl, she is making memes because she is not hot enough for onlyfans. So this girl vs boy question doesn't have some universal answer, we are all thrown into this world and we play with cards we got. Some have nice bodies, other have great minds... and while some are blessed with both there are people who don't have either of them.

And math is exact science, something we can't say for life. There's always that "luck" factor, if we don't have luck in crucial moments than all other factors are in vain.

[Captain Corporate]

As a married men I do find this joke funny, but I also know the reality. With me being a husband and knowing plenty of my friends who are husbands, we do not spend no money neither, we do spend some. All those new pc's, new ps5, new gta six coming up or something, new watch, wanting to buy a new car? Wanting to get some drinks with friends? You think men spend nothing but just spend on crypto? You do not know men if you think that they do not spend any money for useless stuff. I have spent so much money in my life for absolutely nothing, so I can easily say that its not going to be all that great for me neither, and yes the female part is right, but we are like that as all humans, not just one gender.

[lienfaye]

so lets show you how people think about money
(example people are 20yo in 2020)

Well, this is somehow realistic. Many women at the age of early 20s are not thinking of their future and more focus on material things that can satisfy themselves. However we should not generalize women as not all have such way of thinking because there are also men who sometimes think that way too.

IMO, it depends on the mindset of each person since regardless of the gender, one can act wisely to spend their money where they can gain in the future rather than spending it in material things. In the end, clearly the future depends on how you act when you are still younger and still capable to work and earn. Because certainly there's a different outcome when you chose the wiser side than the other.

[icalical]

This is clearly an overgeneralization, each individual, doesn't matter what's between their legs have different mindset based on so many things, I know many men who spent most of their money on sneakers, gym supplement, or luxury watch even though their saving is minimal, and the they definitely doesn't have any investment. On the other hand there many of my female peers who invest in housing, stock, or even crypto. And vice versa I also know women who don't invest and man who invest a lot.

My point is assuming that all human with vagina is financially retarded and all human with penis is financially advanced is extremely outdated mindset.

[Darker45]

I could use some strong words for this, but let me just say that this is outright false.

You're talking about a particular behavior which is not really peculiar to a specific sex or gender. There are extravagant persons, both female and male. There are financially wise persons, both female and male. There are irresponsible men and women.

Although shopping and impulsive buying are normally attached to women, men are also into other things that are equally absurd and costly. It's men who usually spend a treasure on alcohol, drugs, gambling, sex, hobbies, and so on.

OP might have certain issues in the past with particular women. But this is just hasty generalization.

i have no issues with women..
seems your jumping the gender defence bandwaggon rather than see how social media are promoting a new economic narrative

im not the one that invented/promotes/viral-trends  "girl math" nor previous trends of "girl power"*
and like i said in other posts. over time different social trends come and go.
previously for instance the social trend was guys: "YOLO a Lambo" and womens trends were "couponing"
previously for instance the social trend was guys: "support the family home" and womens trends were "girl power in the workplace"
previously for instance the social trend was guys: "men are bread winners" and womens trends were "be the house wife"
previously for instance the social trend was guys: "men go to war" and womens trends were "get to work to support your country"

it swings back and forth, depending on the era. some decade pro female independence some decade con

..
the point is not about my personal experiences. because i have no negativity against females, i adore smart women

the point however is, society is the ones speaking such narratives in this decade/era. and it shows how (by how viral these trends get) that it changes societies thoughts on economics

its more about the economic differences of changing times.. not about attacking a gender

*the funniest part about these social economic trends being bashed into a gender battle. is that its actually the females themselves that are derogatory about themselves by using "girl" instead of "women", and its the females sharing social media clips, reels, skits between themselves

[Porfirii]

In the first place, this analogical analysis depends on individuals and not about the sex differences.
-snip-

It depends, indeed, on psychological traits and, of course, environment, rather than sex. On the other hand, what if he invested in Luna instead of Bitcoin, or if he panic sold his BTC in March '20 when price fell to 4k? (or other scenarios previously explained?). At least the woman could still possibly sell the shoes on wallapop and get some money back.

I think that frank was joking, and I hope that no woman here feels insulted. If I was a newbie woman and read some of the previous posts, I would feel really discouraged to join a group of crypto-baboons. So sensible, intelligent woman who read these posts: ignore them; you're not alone.

[dothebeats]

This is like a slight jab against prioritization of genders, but this is highly true. My ex-partner was always on the lookout for 'deals' on shoes, bags, and clothes thinking that she is doing a great job 'saving' when buying those sale on the mall, while I was there thinking of ways to make money while not actively trading or engaging in something that takes off time for myself in doing other things. Good thing I invested in bitcoin, stuck through it, and made bank and never told her. Most of them think of impressing others, unfortunately, and it becomes their downfall financial wise.

its about the economics not insulting genders

very recently in the past the roles were reversed
guys would be YOLO'ing lambos and girls would be studying STEM to get good careers to invest in future

its not about insulting a particular gender. its about how ECONOMICS of social media education show different philosophies, perpetrated by their own genders sharing their gender philosophy between themselves using social media to cause economics to change per generation

[Apocollapse]

And do you know what? most people think women are better in financial management to men.

20yo girl: I don't have money. Maybe I should start an Onlyfans.
20yo boy: I don't have money. Maybe I should invest in crypto(By "crypto" he means NFTs, pump & dump shitcoins and memecoins)

Maybe, but I'm not really sure.

With the current society where everyone try to impress other people e.g. wear branded cloth, eat in luxury hotel, have a lambo etc, even though all the assets they own are borrowed with loan. So we can't really know the real rich person and the fake one.

both genders suffer from "fake it till you make it" economic philosophy in recent generations

other economic trends like "dont work for the man, take a side hustle".
where minimum wage of $15 = $120 average day but social media promote "make $100 a day" meaning get paid less than minimum wage

there are too many bad economic lessons at play. yet instead of concentrating on the economics, some wanna turn it into a "gender" debate

[Erumo]

so lets show you how people think about money
(example people are 20yo in 2020)

20yo female: "i want to have a $10k pair of high heels before im 24yo"
20yo male: "i want to have a $10k rolex before im 24yo"

20yo female: "i found a chinese knock-off heals for $2k, thats like 20% price, so i have $8k FREE money"
20yo male: "i invested $10k in crypto 2020"

21yo female: "i have $8k FREE i can get matching dress and purse and get my hair done and have a spa week(spends $5k) for FREE"
21yo male: "still hoarding crypto"

23yo female: "i have $3k FREE, oops shoes broke. oh inflation puts replacements at $3k, oh well still FREE"
23yo male: "still hoarding crypto"

24yo female: "i have $0k but i have my cheap out of fashion shoes and a smelly used dress i shouldnt wear again"
24yo male: "still hoarding crypto, i could buy 4 rolexes and still have money left"

19yo female: "finds a rich sponsor, someone she would call Daddy"
19yo male: "works on 3 jobs to get money for university, rolex, first investment"
...
...
...
25yo female: "I have my cheap old out of fashion Jimmy Choo. Daddy please-please-please get me a pair of new one, and since you off to shop, grab me iPhone 15 Pro Max Ultra Carbon Bourbon 1TB"
25 yo male: "still holding, works on a regular job in the office".

[hugeblack]

It seems to be a cultural difference. In my country, women tend to save more than men, as you find that most young men buy a new car approximately every 6 months, and before reaching the age of 30, they will have paid more than 200,000 dollars in cars, while women buy a simple car, by the age of 30 they buy an expensive car and so on. Most of the women in my country spend on travel and beauty products, but there is rarely extravagant spending on clothes, while men spend more on cars, houses and watches than on investments.

[WhyFhy]

My wife does this shit.
She even tacks on the words "Girl Math" when she does it.
At least she recognizes she has a problem 😂.
Sad part is she has her MBA. She's aware.
Should see the buying power girl math has during a mining boom..
"How many pairs of shoes can you mine this week?"

[kryptqnick]

Honestly, promoting gender stereotypes for no reason isn't something I endorse. Tons of women don't care and no longer wear high heels, and wouldn't want to spend so much money on something as meaningless as a clothes item. Of course, many males also don't care neither about watches nor about cryptos and hoarding cryptos. Girls aren't stupid and focused on shoes, boys aren't investment geniuses.
Making more generic examples and saying that it's just 'person A' and 'person B' would argue for the same point of accumulating cryptos, without stereotypical harmful gender roles.

[Ravichnadra]

Well - The only subject that scared me in class is MATHS.

I lost my in space after reading the question and i really don't no why I'm replying this.

HAHAHA

[slapper]

We must first acknowledge that financial decisions are personal. Instead of gender stereotypes, they reflect personal beliefs. Your female character chooses quick enjoyment, a common human desire, while the male invests in crypto long-term. Not gender, but financial literacy and foresight

Bitcoin support is more than just hoarding it like a dragon. Recognition of its financial transformation potential. Your guy appreciates the value of investing and sees past the attraction of fancy products. A financial revolution, Bitcoin is more than a money. Freeing people from established financial structures, it allows them to manage their finances. The actual lesson is that, not high heels or timepieces

harmful? (adjective: causing or likely to cause physical damage/injury)
no one is physically hitting anyone..

i did not invent "girl math" infact it was females that popularised it themselves.
and even they are not physically bruising each other over it

if you are in the mindset that topics should not be talked about if a gender is mentioned and then you avoid the content and context of the topics ECONOMIC philosophy, to just act offended by the very mention of a gender.. its time you wake up

you getting triggered by topics for simply mentioning gender is where you are part of a group inciting more gender division and causing arguments by trying to turn every conversation into a gender debate

its like the silly non binary "pronoun" trend that is meant to cause confrontation
here ill spell it out

when two people are talking directly to each other, both sides do not use he/she pronouns in conversation.. grammatically its not even part of the conversation.. in reality and grammatically direct 1-on-1 conversation uses "I" and "YOU"
(try it. have direct conversations with anyone, and count how many times you use the term he/she when talking to them about them.. you will find it very very difficult to even try to insert intentionally " he/she" into a direct conversation when describing them directly to them.)
the pronoun argument is a anti-social trend pretending to solve a problem that was not even part of the conversation

so when one person interrupts the conversation to grammar-nazi check the other person, controlling the other persons narrative by saying they should identify them as not he/she.. that person interrupting is just sheep speaking(mindless copying) a trend they heard on social media. to cause argument in a conversation where by the conversation never spoke the words he/she in the first place, but instead did say i/you..
so grammatically never needed correcting, and instead was just a silly interruption to cause confrontation where no confrontation was needed

when someone interrupts a conversation to then scream about some gender related emotions they have.. or how topic physically injures them because the other person is talking about a topic and not some trend they want to interrupt with.. it gets stupid

by having people get triggered by very mentions of gender where by conversations are being commanded to not talk about topics as a whole unless they met some social media trending grammatical policy.. just makes people avoid the topic completely.. dividing people from even communicating with each other

if you have a issue with people talking about women (good or bad) then thats on you
if you have a issue with people talking about men (good or bad) then thats on you

just the mention of a gender is not a reason to avoid a topic
