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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

if you post this on twitter i'm sure that many women will come to your tweet and say that they are smarter than most men and claim that they are independent and don't need a man lol.

but my opinion on this is quite simple, that most women, i'm not saying all of them, use their money mostly for consumptive things, such as beauty, luxury goods, etc., because they think that's what they need to please themselves, get praise from other people, or for other reasons, and they consider that to be their most valuable asset. so they don't think twice when they spend that much money just for these things because they think that beauty is important.

while men, most of them think logically and think that they can postpone the things they want for something more important, for example investment. most men prefer to invest their money to be able to make more money, so that they can not only buy the things they dream of but more than that they can become rich people. and especially they don't need beauty or care products like women so they can allocate the money for other things.

There are girls that have the same mindset as us. That can endure all of the luxuries that she desires but they're not that a lot. We know that most of the girls are fashionable and they want to be in at most times.

While us, we can't even buy those personal things that we wanna have but at least sometime in the future, we will be able to afford it for multiple times and that's a real story.

If it's about the patience in investing, we're the same and we can hold for as long as we can be.

I believe that it's in the nature of men to be responsible and take care of their wives and children, from an early age boys will be building their mindset to one day take up the responsibility of a family, this naturally makes him to work harder and safe money for the responsibilities ahead. While in the nature of women with all due respect they're "the weaker sex", they want to focus on taking care of themselves, because they know that one day it'll be a man's responsibility to carter for their needs.

Although I must say that in this age that the naretive is gradually changing, we now have men who are irresponsible and have no plans from their youthful age to take family responsibilities, on the other hand I've seen women who are enterpreneuers, they have investment mindset and from their youthful age, they're never dependant on any man to carter for them.

I have always seen debates regarding who is more likely to spend more or who would have more money between boys or girls

Let me use the words men and women since we are talking about adults stated in your post anyway i really do not like these comparisons since this is obviously a generalization based on a few people who have the means to spend $10k without thinking about its consequences at the end of the day this all depends on one’s economical status and mindset or how they grew up not on their gender

Not all women spend like this and besides don’t men have interests and hobbies as well? How much do men pay for their basketball shoes? For their pc set up? Or for their collection of whatever interest they may have?

I think that there is nothing wrong with indulging yourself once in a while especially if you can afford to do so just make sure to find the right balance and still learn how to invest

The socio-cultural settings of some societies makes the female gender to act this way that they find it difficult neither the necessity to save for investment whereas the male gender is levied and compounded with much expectations and responsibility as a man and it is so unfortunate that base on this almost in all society's we have greater number of entrepreneurs, investors, business tycoons, captains and movers/shakers of industries being male while the female are just invisible to the number. By data statistics  there many self made male millionaires/billionaires in the world to woman, of which for some rich women it was an inherited wealth.

Naturally it is highly presumptive to see women spend so much money and time in enhancing their aesthetic look and feel satisfied at the achievement of such aesthetical feat while a man careless about his facial and skin look, his first and sacrosanct aim is how to double the little sum in his possession to achieve financial success before all else.

I believe that most women doesn't really just think about spending money on heels, clothes, make up, and such. It's just that when it comes to financial aspects, men and women have different attitudes or capacities. This is also based on multiple research conducted about the correlation of gender in different financial aspects. According to this study.

And this is probably the reason why we don't often see women in investment-related stuff like in crypto, where majority of the population comes from men. While for men, it says that

A lot of women can be more risk-averse while for men, they can be a bigger risk-taker and maybe that's also one of the factor why more men tends to be more interested in investment than women. But it doesn't mean they only think about spending for their personal wants. Mostly in households, women tend to handle finances especially when it comes to saving. So maybe they are not that good with risks but can br good in other aspect like saving.

Well this seems a stereo type thing but yeah this happens most of the time anywhere in the world. But regardless of gender I find this happened on both parties if I am not mistaken. I think this depends on someones passion or desire in life some other people choose the other way and then we choose ours. But right now I prefer hoarding Bitcoin.

This doesnt make sense. One person is all about spending on fancy stuff and finding bargains, while the other is into crypto and saving for the long haul. By age 24, the spender has little left, while the saver still has a stash for more rolexes. It's more about their money choices than gender stuff.

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.

 

In the first place, this analogical analysis depends on individuals and not about the sex differences. Women are more economical to spending although they are possesed with the attractions to material things. Women are said to be more entrepreneurly flexible to chasing money (income) without having the immunity of shame around their hoods. They are inspirations to breakthroughs.
But on a serious note, the men are usually calculative with the mantle of responsibilities that they are responsible to take care about.
And the fact remains that the governance in a society or a family is overloaded on the man which engages the man to a fascination of his hustling.
Men are likely to be independent knowing quite well that they would be pilar of  their own immediate families somedays and so on, they are concious about their future so, setting up a goal to their financial portfolios is single handedly considered a personal concern to them and not like the women whom are mostly depended by the men for establishment

i think that it's more of the gender difference and the make of the individuals that courses women to desire more of temporal things to making any investment.

It's very rear to find a lady in her early 20s making plans on how to use her earning to invest into profitable business. As a matter of fact, majority of them prefer to be given money that actually making it themselves and this is not a gender talk.

The average guy in his 20s already feels that he has a lot of responsibility to matter for and that he needs to up his game and so they don't joke with their financial life. The guy feels that it is even
His responsibility to cater for the lady and this pushes him to work more and look for ways to invest his money so he can get more to take care of himself and that lady. The lady on the other hand feels that it his the responsibility of his man to take care of here which makes her to become relaxed and less interested in financial matters.

Of course, their are women out there that are doing very well for themselves and are not all that materialistic but if we are considering carrying out a statistic on the majority of females choice of wants to the male, then women tend to tilt more to fashionable stuff compared to male that are investment minded.
