I knew Thailand is leading in something... too much temptation and very easy  

Some reasons may include:

-Thai men immature don’t know how to satisfy a woman

-Thai men lazy, not ambitious, can’t provide adequately 

-Thai men have small Willy driving women into arms of guys like us

-Thai women materialistic always looking out for more money (linked to item2)

They didn't count Mia Nois and still scored high.

The hub of infidelity.

Many Thai husbands have Mia Nois - and sometimes more than one Mia Noi.

There used to be a joke years back - 'Western guys often talk about having a fling, but rarely do; while Thai guys often have flings but rarely talk about it.'

I'd bet my bottom dollar that the Philippines is MUCH higher. You'd never get honest answers because adultery is a crime. It also takes many years and a boatload of money to have a marriage annulled (no divorce there), which most people cannot afford. Shacking up with someone new is a normal practice.

 

Plus the poverty is even greater in Philippines. Money is even more important there. 

 

Filipinas are more prone to cheating I suspect, Thais are just more honest. Having said that women from both countries seem to cheat more than is normal.

If you're looking for a good woman, you can't do much better than Thai.

agree since my wife is Thai, but I would say Viet women are special in that regards as well.

In a surprising twist, Thailand is the sole Asian country to feature in the top 20 list, with about 51% of married individuals admitting to infidelity.

 

Maybe they're just more honest about it.

really.. girls in the USA dont like sex??  How does anyone have kids, the US is doomed.

what is absurd in my opinion that most of the women i have been in thailand pretend to be virgins....i really had one virging...but the rest were experienced girls in bed pretending to be virgins.....and one had like 200 men in tinder....come one.......this is absurd....and it is true, thai women cheat easy...so they are not marriage material....you just date and then replace with younger and prettier girl after 1 year

Very sad comment...It appears you're just in Thailand as a sex tourist and you're all upset that a girl lies about being a virgin?

you need to get out of the bars and away from prostitutes'.  You are unable to make a informed opinion when you haven't really met regular people.

Thailand has been spotlighted as the leading country for marital infidelity, as a comprehensive 2024 study ranks it highest among nations with spouses frequently engaging in cheating. This revelation comes from an analysis combining data from BedBible, World Population Review, and Insider Monkey, shedding light on global infidelity trends.

 

In a surprising twist, Thailand is the sole Asian country to feature in the top 20 list, with about 51% of married individuals admitting to infidelity. This offers a striking contrast to other countries, where cultural norms and societal pressures might influence such behaviour.

 

The results underscore significant issues related to trust and commitment within marriages worldwide, transcending cultural and geographical boundaries. Ranking just behind Thailand, Denmark sees a 46% infidelity rate, closely followed by Germany and Italy at 45%, and France at 43%.

 

This study provides a new lens through which to view infidelity, a complex and often concealed issue. With Nordic countries like Norway (41%) and Finland (36%) also featuring prominently, the findings suggest that even societies known for progressive views on relationships face challenges around marital fidelity.

 

In Europe, countries such as Belgium, Spain, and the United Kingdom report considerable infidelity rates, highlighting that this phenomenon is not bound by cultural norms or relationship structures. In North America, Canada and the United States show lower, yet still significant, rates of 36% and 35% respectively.

 

A closer examination reveals that men are generally more likely to admit to infidelity, with a higher prevalence among those aged 30 to 60. However, there's an emerging trend where women are increasingly engaging in infidelity, though often with greater discretion. This shift could reflect changing dynamics in gender roles and expectations within marriages.

 

Another intriguing aspect is the rise of emotional infidelity, especially among women. Many individuals underestimate the impact of online interactions, not realising their emotional investment could equate to unfaithfulness. As digital communication becomes embedded in daily life, the boundaries between friendship and infidelity blur, further complicating relationships.

 

These findings serve as a catalyst for deeper conversations about marriage, trust, and fidelity. The high rates in Thailand, for example, invite questions about cultural attitudes towards monogamy and the societal factors contributing to such statistics. There could be various influences, including economic conditions, societal norms, or even the dynamics of urban living that might foster environments where infidelity is more likely to occur.

 

Moreover, the data encourages exploration of potential grassroots solutions. Advocates for healthier relationships may push for greater emphasis on communication and counselling, aiming to support couples in navigating the complexities of marriage in the modern era.

 

Thus, while the numbers paint a daunting picture, they also provide an opportunity to rethink and reframe approaches to relationship stability. Whether through policy, education, or therapeutic interventions, these insights could drive a new wave of initiatives aimed at reducing infidelity rates and facilitating stronger, more resilient partnerships.

 

In today's interconnected world, understanding and addressing the underlying causes of infidelity is crucial. As societal norms evolve, so too must the strategies for fostering trust and commitment in relationships, ensuring they withstand the pressures of modern life.

While it may not be completely inaccurate, the pic in the article, with the girl looking at the guy as though he's guilty, I've found that married Thai women are not difficult targets AT ALL. Perhaps a little more difficult than single women, but depending on the situation, they seem to be about as frequent as Thai girls who claim to be virgins. Maybe if a Thai girl claims to be a virgin, she's actually married!

I married a fairly unattractive girl, so I'm good in that respect.

Great philosophers advise this:

 

She's ugly but she sure can cook.

Every woman in the world cheats, if given the opportunity.

In the west it's regular sex with your long term partner which is unachievable.

Sex with your neighbours wife once or twice is much easier.

Many do, but some women have integrity and don't. Of course that integrity depends on them having the material comforts and money in the bank they belive sufficient, true enough, but some women have this integrity .

 

Other women are truly without any integrity, they will create opportunities to cheat. Even if they have a comfortable life, it doesn't matter. Because they crave adventure.

 

Not all women are the same.

 

I think at most you can say that all women women will be attracted to other men. That's true of course,, like us they're promiscuous primates and will have that sensation of being attracted to others. However, some women act on it, and others don't. This depends in large part on the woman's character, and if she has a large craving for adventure. Some do, some don.t.

Nothing new: Long standing well-known fact.

 

The best indication anyone can easily recognize if being here long enough:  This kingdom is the widow society.

That is why you so often  see single mothers raising children alone.

 

 

 

Thais just a general opinion might be top of list male of abandonment of children? Otherwise I would be getting easy happy endings🤔🤣

What the hell is this! My wife is a very good cook and that's really the only thing that matters to me. :coffee1:

Thais on the other hand for one reason or another, might have more of a tendency to answer the question honestly.

Well the real issue is the fact that Thais are less hung up about sex than Westerners, and having an affair, or getting some action elsewhere, is not comparable in weight than it is in the West. 

 

I remember a cousin of mine was married a long time ago, and her husband would occasionally go to a massage parlor, and she found out about it and not only did she divorce him, but she shamed him with the entire extended family, and I remember people acting as if it was a very, very big deal.

 

The reality is that he was a very nice man, and he was a good provider, and I do not think something comparable to that would happen that.

My wife and I subscribe to this philosophy:

 

"I take care you; you take care me".

Seems to work ok.

This is how it should be, and this is how I have experienced it for more than 15 years now.

And that is what Marxism promotes.  Anything to break up the family unit.

 

“Abolition of the family! … The bourgeois family will vanish as a matter of course … The bourgeois clap-trap about the family and education, about the hallowed co-relation of parents and child, becomes all the more disgusting.” -Manifesto of the Communist Party, 1848, Chapter II, Karl Marx & Frederick Engels

Karl Marx and Frederick Engels wrote those words in 1848. But the same Marxist philosophy infects America’s powerful teacher unions and leftist officials at all levels of government. Communism was devoted to building a “New Man,” and Marx and Engels saw the nuclear family as an obstacle. Today’s Marxists still believe the same thing.

 

https://www.drjamesdobson.org/policy/marxism-versus-the-family/

Is that true ?    The bourgeoisie in Marxism are the wealthy, those who hold the countries wealth.  Surely, in LOS and in many other countries, infidelity occurs throughout society, both bourgeoisie and proletariat.

Correction " Would " mean WOULDN'T!   

 

Got a thumb down " abandonment of Children "  Unless data shows I'm wrong!  I wonder as to why so many children are with one parent and that is usually the women only the reason the fact line of bar girls, GoGo, etc.. is the reason many come and will continue to come! 

 

Take U.S. the data for Black American families is very low for single parents data contributing to why things are the way it is, take Chicago for example!  

 

Sad, but that is the reality in general how things are in Thailand.  Why the cheating, although laws get tough they take off children or not children. Women always looking for greener grass, they are secondary something better comes along especially a farang!  Sorry thumbs down!😂
