ガールマスの導入
Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hellooo.
Do you know, um, do you know girl math?
What?
Girl math.
No.
Alright, so there's this thing called girl math.
Okay.
To my knowledge, kinda started about a year ago.
Okay.
That's, became popular in the western culture.
Wow.
It's a way of thinking.
Okay.
It's a thought process that girls have.
Huh.
Into convincing themselves that a purchase is worth it.
Oh, okay.
And I think it's ridiculous.
So, is that like, is that something common in girls?
That's what they say.
Okay.
That's what they say.
Okay.
Then, like, it's, it's like a, one big thing for guys like me and you to, to see that concept and understand it and understand the differences.
Yeah.
Is that the concept?
That's, that's, that, yeah.
Okay, okay, okay.
That's the whole thing.
Okay, okay, okay.
So we're probably not gonna get it.
Okay.
But they say, people with girl math say that it makes sense completely.
Oh, wow, okay, okay.

Here's some example of girl math.
Alright.
Girl math is not paying the $15 for shipping, instead spending another $30 to get the free shipping.
That's girl math.
I see.
I see.
Here's another one.
Yeah, yeah.
Girl math is packing a minimum of 14 pairs of underwear for a seven day trip.
Can you, can you repeat that again, please?
A girl math is packing a minimum of 14 pair of pairs of underwear for a seven day trip.
Well, this isn't that.
Okay.
It's not that mainstream girl math.
This is a mainstream girl math.
If I pay, if I pay for it using cash, I basically did not spend anything or it was free because there's no proof of spending.
How do you discover that?
How?
Okay, okay.
What does that mean?
Because it's cash.
It's cash.
Okay.
Like you, you pay with cash.
It's not being withdrawn from any of the bank accounts.
So it's free.
Okay.
Okay.
Um, go ahead.
Yeah, I mean, this is something we can, is it, is it like, are they truly believing?
They're truly believing that this is valid.
They're truly believing that this is valid.
That's out of my mind.
I know, right?
Yeah.
Um, girl math is when I have to be at a restaurant by 6 p.m. means I have to leave around 5 p.m.
because I need to go through traffic and find a parking spot.
But it, but also means I have to get ready at 3 p.m. to pick an outfit to do my makeup and hair.
They need time to prepare, right?
Sort of.
But this isn't the mainstream as well.
Let me choose the mainstream one.
That one, the time one.
Yeah, I can kind of understand.
Okay.
Like I will be like, sure, go ahead, kind of.
Okay.
Yeah.
Wow.
It's a new concept for me, girl math.
She bought a $500 purse, but she's going to use it every day for a year.
So it's really only $1.37 per day.
Hahaha.
Yeah.
Okay.
True.
Right.
Okay.
割引されたアイテムによってお金を稼ぐことができるのか
I returned something for $90.
Okay.
I returned something for $90 and then bought something for $100.
So I really only spent $10.
Hahaha.
Yeah.
That's just like some kind of rakugo or like those funny jokes, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So this is girl math.
I mean, I still can't believe there are some people who really believe that this is like a thing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's right.
I mean, as a funny joke, it's good.
Yeah.
It's a funny joke.
But it's not a joke.
Here's also a major one.
If there's an item sale for $50 from $90.
So the original price was $90, but it was sold for $50.
Okay.
You technically made $40.
You earned $40 like you made money.
Okay.
Good one.
That's why you have to buy it.
Hahaha.
Because buying that $50 would make you $40.
Wow.
Paying $50 make you $45.
$40.
So that's why it makes sense to purchase that.
Wow.
So you get money if you pay $15.
Yeah.
Wow.
That's right.
That's brilliant.
Anything bought in advance is free.
Like you have to...
When you buy a ticket and the concert's in three months and you pay it now.
Well, when you get the concert ticket, it's free.
So it's free.
What are you talking about?
That's girl math, man.
And I think it's ridiculous.
Yeah.
Is it like...
That's honestly...
That is really...
Exactly how they say it.
Yeah.
Yes.
I don't know why.
Pretty fucked up, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
少額の支出は実質無料となるのか
Anything under $5 is free.
Why?
Why?
Because it's so little.
It's so small.
That's ridiculous.
Are they making...
It's not a joke.
Are they really saying that?
Yes.
So at the first half, I was very...
Like it was very fun to listen to all those jokes.
Yes.
Not a joke, but yeah.
Yeah.
But now I'm feeling like boring and like sorry for them.
Like they need some...
Guidance, right?
Yeah.
Financial guidance.
For pledication.
That's right.
Wow.
I mean, I have no words.
Wow.
男性用の計算方法について
I wonder if there's such thing as guy math.
Okay, guy math.
Let me look it up.
Oh, there are such thing as boy math.
Let's see.
Maybe we can understand that.
Yeah.
So this is the first time seeing this as well.
Okay.
Okay.
So example number one.
Boy math is saying women are too emotional for positions of power
and then punches holes in walls when you're mad.
Sorry, I didn't catch that.
Boys saying that women are too emotional for positions of power.
Boys saying that women are too emotional for positions of power and want to stand up for fairness.
Okay, okay.
While saying that, boys punch holes in walls when they're mad.
男の数学の例1
Okay.
Next example.
Boy math is opening up your marriage so you can fuck around and then getting mad
because your wife is getting slammed while you severely overestimated your market value.
Okay.
Next example.
Boy math is not wanting kids, but not having a vasectomy and not wearing a condom
and also being dominantly against abortions.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Boy math is paying $44 billion for a $25 billion company and through business smarts
and entrepreneurial know-hows, turning it into an $8.8 billion company.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Boy math is calling all your exes crazy when you're the common abuse denominator.
男の数学の例2
Boy math is calling a woman a psycho when she's reacting to his disrespect.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
So we heard several examples.
So for us men, it's like, well...
So if this thing is going...
If this conversation is the opposite and the woman is the opposite,
and the woman are listening to these and they're like,
are they really thinking that this is valid?
Then it would be like, well, yeah, I mean, like,
it's that there's a different factor here that you didn't count in for, right?
I mean, I'm not completely agree with all those, but like, yeah, kind of.
It depends on how you kind of look at it.
What kind of factors are you counting, right?
And they'll be like, well, you guys need proper education.
Yeah.
That's boy math, guys.
Wow.
Okay.
Then this is very interesting.
It's very interesting.
Yeah.
That's right.
Like anything under $5 is free.
Yeah.
That's one of the mainstream concepts of girl math.
Yeah.
Anything you buy in advance is free.
It's free.
It's not free to you.
Anything you pay in cash is free.
Honestly, when you buy something in cash and that,
just a tad bit, like a nanometer, understand how that could be interpreted as free.
It's like, because like we're so mainstream in credit cards, right?
It's like points, paying it with points, right?
It's like, it's so out of the normal way of payment methods
that you're not really considering that as like, yeah, it's like, yeah.
I know what I'm saying is fucked up.
Yeah.
But it's trying to like, I feel like I feel that nanometer.
I see.
I feel that a little bit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's out of like ecosystem of usual.
Yeah.
It's out of your financial system.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
Like when you pay with T point, it feels free.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I guess that's what it means.
Anything you buy with T point, that's free.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's girl math, I guess.
Yeah, but that one, I'd rather, I would rather kind of, I can get it like buying a point,
using point and buy things.
無料でアイテムを手に入れる
It's free.
Yeah.
Kind of.
I get it.
If the points are like, like automatically came in.
Right.
Like we came out of nowhere.
Yeah.
Without any trying to.
That's right.
Yeah.
The cash is simply money.
Yeah.
That's true.
Wow.
You deposited that.
Yeah.
From the bank account originally.
Yeah.
So.
Right.
Wow.
Well, I didn't, I didn't know that concept.
Yeah.
I would love to have a guest here who, who is into, who's actually a girl math.
Yeah.
And kind of have like a conversation of how, how the thought process.
Yeah.
Is there.
I think it's not like lack of knowledge or something.
It's just different ways of thinking.
Perceiving.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Right.
So I guess it's very, very difficult to.
Yeah.
Telling what we're feeling.
Right.
You're right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow.
Wow.
All right.
So there is this thing called the girl map.
Okay.
Just an introduction.
Yeah.
Thank you.
To this new world.
Wow.
Yeah.
Right.
That was amazing.
Interesting.
Thanks for sitting guys.
Bye-bye.
