Have you ever justified a purchase in a way that made total sense to you but sounded a little funny to others? That’s where the concept of “Girl Math” comes in!

What Is Girl Math?

Girl math is a fun and playful way of describing how some people (especially girls, in this case) justify their spending or decisions in ways that might not always make sense to others but make perfect sense to them. 

Examples of Girl Math

Here are a few examples of girl math:

  • Buy One, Get One Free

If you buy one item and get another free, you might convince yourself that the second item doesn’t count as spending money because you’re technically just getting a freebie.

  • Getting Something Expensive = I’ve Earned It

You might buy a fancy new bag because “I worked hard this week. I deserve it.” So, you tell yourself, It’s not a treat, it’s a reward.

It’s a playful way to justify purchases and decisions with a mix of humor and self-reassurance, often going viral with relatable memes and social media posts.
