Thai and Ghanaian women: most unfaithful in the world
Thai and Ghanaian women are among the top in the world when it comes to cheating on a partner, according to a survey by condom manufacturer Durex.
According to the survey conducted among 29.000 women in 36 countries, the world's top cheaters are:
- Ghanaian women (62%)
- Thai women (52%)
- Malaysian women (39%)
To cheat
In the study, women were asked whether they ever cheated on their partner. More than half of the Thai ladies answered this question with a resounding 'yes!'.
Russian and Singaporean women are not exactly monogamous either. They finished fourth and fifth respectively.
When we look at couples cheating on each other, it shows Thailand world champion. You could almost say that cheating was invented in Thailand.
Well, now I'm going to sit down for a while because there will be some reactions to this! On Thaivisa.com it's already laughing vultures roaring!
Another study found that 48% of Thai women lie when asked about fidelity in relationships 😉
Yet another study shows that 45% of Thai women lie about lying in a survey on being faithful in relationships. 😉
Got 1 more for you: 99% of all statistics are made up 😉
Did Durex do that research in English? You like sex with many men? Yes Ka, no like lady sex, the Thai ladies said then.
I wonder if they understood the questions correctly or under what circumstances these questions were asked.
Bangkok is bursting with love hotels, you see them everywhere, so something must be happening inside that cannot bear the daylight.
I dare to put my hand in the fire that the research was conducted in the local language. That happens all the time in the research world.
Bangkok Post cites a 59 percent percentage of Thai women who say they have been unfaithful.
Nothing is lied about so much in polls as about sex, drug use, tax fraud, threatening illnesses and so on.
Well cheating and Thailand remains a recurring topic….
I keep reading here on the blog that Thai men are said to cheat so much and that the ladies are therefore looking for a Farang. But the ladies I speak to think that most Farang cheat. I asked them why and they say it's simple, the Thai men usually don't have money for a Mia Noi or to go for a short time and the Farang men do.
Moderator: you tar all Thai women with the same brush. Such generalizations are not allowed.
This research is not complete. The Durex investigator should also have asked about the reason for cheating. For the money or the lust.
Everything has its reasons. If you don't trust it, stay home.
I can point out entire apartment blocks in Bangkok that are occupied almost exclusively by 'mia nois'. They in turn often have a 'gig'. At least it keeps the economy going in the land of smiles.
('Mia noi' is a kind of 2nd wife that many Thai men have. They maintain her and see her at least once a week. There is a certain financial responsibility towards her. A 'gig' is a kind of 'fuck buddy', can hit both man and woman, just for sex and no further obligations.Many mia noi's, however, partially channel the older man's contribution to their younger 'gig')
About the study itself: although it covers 36 countries, there are around 200 countries. In other words, less than 20% of all countries are part of the survey! Furthermore, there will be quite some differences in the extent to which questions are answered honestly. As Dick said, little is lied about more than cheating; but that's not to say that everyone (or every nation) lies about it to the same degree (I think Thais are relatively open about it).
Personally, I think Thailand is fairly emancipated when it comes to cheating. Women cheat just as much as men here. There are also bars here where some older rich ladies come to pick up young boys for a small fee. And Tjamuk is right: the really expensive places where people cheat are mainly visited by Thais; as a foreigner it is difficult to get in there. But I do think it matters a lot what kind of Thai you are dealing with. You have modern but also very conservative Thais.
By the way, I recently read an article on a Dutch site describing that of the three million people registered on a dating site in the Netherlands, about 30% are already in a relationship. So it concerns people who maintain a relationship but are actively looking for someone else in the meantime. So it could well be, in my opinion, that many such dormant relationships are maintained in Thailand, and that relatively therefore there is also a lot of cheating.
Personally, I think cheating has nothing to do with whether someone is modern or conservative.
Well, I guess it depends on what you mean by modern and conservative in this context. By conservative I meant "holding to existing conditions" and by modern "belonging to the newer age" (what it means according to the Vandale). And if you believe most researchers, cheating is on the rise. So, in that context, someone who cheats is by definition someone who contributes less to “holding on to existing states” and can be more categorized as “newer age”.
You have a very interesting interpretation of the laws of logic. Cheating is as old as the road to Rome. If it is said that it is more common nowadays, that does not make someone who cheats particularly modern, of course, despite the fat VanDale.
I don't see why it's such a terribly illogical argument that monogamy represents more of a traditional value that generally more conservative people value more than less conservative people. Seems perfectly logical to me….
The road to Rome, Via Appia you mean I think, is not that old at all, 2000+ years. I think cheating is as old as the usual monogamous conventions are. That's a lot of klang. Before that just a cozy place where the Alpha male was in charge. Weak brothers didn't get to work so to speak and that kept the gene pool good.
I wonder where those bars are. Can you name a few?
No I don't know where they are, I've never been there myself. But I read an article about it in the Bangkok Post. Can't find it anymore but below something similar.
http://www.sukhumvit-psycho.com/2010/07/go-go-bars-and-male-escorts-for-women-in-bangkok/
Once an acquaintance in that world took me where I started to feel like a kind of guest of honor.
After a certain drumming on a totally inconspicuous door in a side street near Pat Pong of 150 cm high, a kind of gorilla opened the door where we are normally not allowed to enter and I was allowed to come along through my relationship.
Once, after leaving several stairs behind me, we arrived in a kind of theater with a large stage where about 30 numbered men pretended to be engaged in the competition of penus erectus.
Dozens of ladies ignored me and waved with thousands to the one with the desired competition number on their arm.
On the other hand, I was again offered drinks by the participants on stage.
All in all, one of the many special things you can experience when you have Thai friends.
Unfortunately I was alone again that night after seeing this.
Well nothing gets lied about more than this, and money of course….
A worthless unreliable investigation, therefore, carried out by a biased stakeholder.
The only good news about this is for Durex, because the more one cheats, the higher the turnover (Durex does not have much interest in monogamous marriages) 🙂
Jan, I completely agree with you, I think this is no more than a Durex marketing story. And as Thaitanicc also pointed out, only a limited number of countries are involved in the research. These are undoubtedly the countries that are very interesting for the rubber manufacturer. Also pay attention; Compared to, for example, the Netherlands, you see many more condoms on the shelves in Thailand in a much larger variety of shops. You just can't buy them on the market in Thailand, although I don't even dare to say this with any certainty.
hello bacus,
Well we are at markets and stuff a lot, but I haven't seen them yet haha.
Well, the Dutch are also a bit ashamed, they secretly throw those things with the rest of the groceries, and then stare at the ceiling, how did they get there? 🙂
Moderator: Such generalizing comments are not allowed, according to our house rules.
This research has been discussed here before. It also showed that Thai men are at the top in terms of infidelity. If this were true, Thai women should also score high in this area. After all, it takes 2 ……………
And since Thai men do not necessarily cheat with falang women, they must have a 1-2 night stand with Thai women (other than their own wife, of course).
Finally: it looks cool if you can say how many girlfriends / friends (in Thai "kieks") you have. At least, as long as your partner is not in your audience, of course.
In short: close this, as far as I'm concerned, worthless "research".
I am a lady living in Thailand one day I met a Thai boy we chatted a bit (at that time I was still quite naive and just wanted to practice my Thai) I told him about my Thai friend etc. etc. At the end of the conversation he told me he loved me and if i wanted to be his girlfriend. I said: I just told you about my friend. His follow-up question was: Oh can I be your Gik then? These things are so normal here and you are shamelessly asked.
Many female Thai girlfriends (university educated so I'm not even talking about bar girls here) have relationships you don't understand. Sometimes I wonder if they understand it themselves, then it's over and a week later they're together again. A few weeks later, they are tired of their boyfriend and are busy with other men. Then he has another secret relationship. To drive you crazy. In my opinion the Thai just watch too much Lakorns. In addition, history also plays a role as it was normal for a man to have several wives. I don't think this ever went out completely despite king number six abolishing this. And with the new generation of ladies who also stand up for their rights a little more, who think: “What those men can do, we can do that too”. It's all about playing games and not losing face. “If I lose face, you will suffer even more”.
I am also curious about the full test results. Is NL also among the tested countries?
Just a small correction to previous post I mean king number 6 and not number five. The facts must be correct of course 😉
Moderator: edited.
It would also be quite interesting to investigate the cheating of Western men who have a relationship with an Asian or Thai woman.
I think that would give you a much higher percentage of infidelity.
Of the 1000 men, at least 998 cheat, only you and I will never do that.
Moderator: Offensive comments removed.
If you were willing and able to research it at all, it should of course not be a one-sided research. I would then change the question to “how many men have an affair with someone from their own country, how many with someone from another country and do they have a relationship with a fellow countryman or foreigner?” and “how many women have an affair with someone from their own country, how many with someone from another country and are they in a relationship with a fellow countryman or a foreigner?”
The question remains, what would something like this show if such a study were reliable at all… If many men and/or women cheat a lot with a partner from another country, does that say something about international relations? (I don't think so) Or about how reliable the average person (m/f) is who has a relationship with someone from another country? That seems very short sighted to me...
So what are we getting out of it? Few, like this study, which probably does not even give a real picture of the cheating of women/people.
I assume the last sentence (998 out of 1000 men cheat) is a joke… I don't think it's such a nice or neat comment. Substitute the word men for women and you would already have the dolls dancing. There are many sad things in this world, but that almost everyone solves it by sexting and cheating? Luckily not.
Dear Rob V
I mean precisely the men who have a partner from Asia (Thailand, Philippines, etc.) or come there a lot.
For these men, the temptation to cheat is very great.
In Thailand and in the Philippines, a lot of girls work in bars and go-go bars looking for a foreigner, especially in Bangkok and Pattaya, for men it is fishing in a farmed carp pond, and this is in Angeles City and Manila in the Philippines the same.
Rob look around you and if you regularly visit or live in these places you know best how loyalty to a partner or spouse is handled.
Fortunately, not almost everyone solves it sext and cheats
I agree with you that a study probably doesn't even give a real picture of people cheating.
Ah, now I get it. Thanks for the explanation.
Purely on feeling, I would say that the risk of “the bar visitor” and “the barmaid” is higher than for people from a different background. Then it concerns people who in advance did not really have the intention to make a real, serious relationship, but more because of the profit (money, sex, ...). If both the barmaid and the bartender have sincere intentions, then the risk does not seem greater to me than between other couples.
What is the relationship between those who genuinely want a real relationship and those who are seduced by money, sex, or something else? Not a clue… I can't even put a finger in the air to gauge because I've only been to Patayya once, let alone know people (m/f) who have a relationship from those circuits.
Before anyone feels attacked, I hope it's clear that I have nothing against bar patrons, bar ladies, etc. Nor against those who start a relationship, especially if both are sincere and have the guts to make that choice. If you persevere despite criticism from your environment and just enjoy each other together: tribute. Follow your heart!
Dear Rob, you don't like that last comment, you say that maybe 998 out of 1000 are "cheating". I would even venture to say that if everyone really gives an honest answer to that question, the number will be terribly high. I know a lot in Thailand who act like a decent husband, but are not averse to a "massage". Do I condemn that? No! It can also be the tension to do it once or because a friend insists to give it a try… Lol. That it doesn't belong to some is another story and to be respected of course.
I just tried to discuss this article (infidelity) and your reactions to it (like men with multiple wives) with my Thai wife.
This turned out to be one of our shortest conversations I must say.
I told her that since we have been living in Thailand for a while now, I still have to integrate myself completely and therefore want to adopt the customs of the country as much as possible and this in every area.
She's in the kitchen, busy with food (that's kicking in an open door, of course), and has a chef's knife in hand.
The movement she makes with this, about what would happen to my young man if I took it into my head to adopt this Thai "custom", is certainly clear.
Whether she would actually put her money where her mouth is I don't know… and I don't intend to try.
Maybe I'm lucky and they're part of that 48% minority…. but fortunately I don't feel this need (not even for our conversation) and I will leave this Thai "custom" for what it is.
Ronny be careful, you wouldn't be first without young gentleman.
But it was worth trying.
