similarly to how the term "chicken math" refers to the phenomenon where a backyard chicken hobbyist starts off with four cute little chicks and then the next thing they know they've got like 20 chickens in their flock (because the little fluff balls at the local tractor supply store are just too damn cute to resist and you just keep collecting more and more almost every time you go there for feed and supplies and then they grow up and some of them turn out to be roosters and now they're popping out even more cute little fluff balls and you realize you may have a slight addiction to chicken collecting now), the term "boy math" refers to the phenomenon where you start off with 3 cute boys in your harem and then the next thing you know you've got like 16 of them (because you somehow keep finding just the prettiest little guys and they seem so sweet and sometimes they're also a little broken and traumatized and you know you could give them a good, loving home and it's just so easy to get them to fall in love with you because you treat them better than anyone else has ever treated the poor things, and now you've found yourself creating an oddly large collection of cute, pathetic little men with such irresistibly big, round, sad looking eyes, and they've all become absolutely infatuated with you and have become incredibly loyal and devoted boyfriends, because you're just the most perfect person they've ever met and they've fallen deeply in love with everything about you and now you're starting to realize you might be accidentally creating a small gang/army of edgy gay boys?...).
