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!

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.
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.”
“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.
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.
