4MyEgo Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 “While farang men have shown themselves willing to change how they displayed their masculinity, changing from sex tourists to good son-in-laws, Isaan men have not, making them less desirable as marriage partners to local women,” Patcharin concluded. I dare say I have not changed how I display my masculinity as a farang sex tourist son-in-law, I still have my cake and eat it too, boo hoo !

mommysboy Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Good luck to all my fellow expats. If I'm being honest, I wonder if there is real reciprocal attraction- it does seem to be the elephant in the room that is not talked about here. The French guy is much younger than the typical expat I'd wager. I do understand that physical attraction is possibly much less important than it might be for many males, yet wonder if the women will be truly satisfied. Still, life is a series of compromises. The romantic ideal might be a lot of hogwash too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardinalblue Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Thai men generally prefer to drink, avoid a meaningful career, domestic abusers and lack family accountability....there are exceptions but cultural traits sure drive this one....

Same here but I only visit - lived all over Thailand, and most well off Thai men would go up to Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai to fetch a wife, the area is known for the most beautiful (naturally beautiful) women in Thailand.

The poorest of the provinces often have the most women who go elsewhere to make money--often to the bars; then, with success, back to the province with their jackpots.

Stevemercer Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I think a key point from the article is below: 'While in matrilineal Isaan culture, sons-in-law are expected to support their wives’ families without earning the mantle of household leadership.' In Isaan, woman are traditionally the head of the household and the men are expected to support their wive's family. This is a lot of expectation to heap on a young, rural, Thai man, with a poor education/poor prospects, and its no wonder so many duck out of their responsibilities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're talking like it's still stuck in the 1980's. Plenty empty bars and lovelorn, lonely old mongers to suggest that this business model has passed the use-by date.

I have heard this story of the inadequacy of the local male and the superiority of the foreign male in every country I have ever visited--including the UK. The story is especially prevalent in countries where foreigners frequently have more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is pretty bloody frightening how quickly a professionally qualified female less than half your age - for example, ahem, say a pharmacist in Bangkok Hospital - will ask you whether you have a girlfriend. I'm not really sure how I feel about it: creeped out is part of it. Edited November 30, 2017 by Craig krup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I see is the Women working to support the family while the men lie around drink and play cards all day long and then get into an argument with the wife and beat the kids; and for the ones who do work are usually have a couple of other women they are also supporting. It is not hard to see why these women are looking for men elsewhere. I wish I knew more eligible men. I live in Issan and I'm eligible, Ha!
