Ladies, do you think that mixed thai man (father is American, mother is Thai) will be more monogamous? or someone is brought up by single mother will be more monogamous?

I'm sorry to say this, delph, but from your last 2 threads, I think maybe you need to stop seeing people as stereotypes (beach boys, mixed Thai). People are individuals, they have individual thoughts, feelings & morals. Perhaps some cultural norms can be applied, but I would hope (as a farang woman) that all the farang women on this forum wouldn't be lumped together as having the same moral identity. I'm sure we don't. Same for guys, I'm sure.

Sounds like you've met someone, and you're worried about him.

My father is Scottish, mother is Chinese, and I am brought up by a single mother. Do you want to know what I think?

Anyway I think it is better I not say anything.

I'm an American of Scottish, French, English, Irish decent, lovingly raised by a hard-working single mom, with a 25 year adult period notorious for its lack of monogamy in my past. The last five years in Thailand with my Thai wife have been my first experience with the pleasures of monogamy. Life is a long road!

You are absolutely right, November Rain, sometimes, I try to stereotype people and classify them into different catalogues. Maybe its time for me to change......

I used to as well - I even had friends in different categories that I would not want to meet each other- it is possible to change and not to though - good luck

I sincerely think that monogamy has nothing to do with the nationality, it depends on personality. But I think that personality is closely related the envoirement that we are brougt up.

My father left when I was 12 years old, this bring me strong desire to have a family and live with someone forever.

The old nature vs nurture argument - an ideological minefield

I go with nurture being primary too

Delph I think that it is completely impossible to determine someone's chances of being monogomous from any kind of particular family situtaion. The decision to be monogomous or not comes the individual themeselves and is based on the million different influences, experiences, genes etc etc that make us who we are. If you are considering being with someone who you are unsure about I suggest that the best thing to do is work out exactly what you would do if he did cheat and then tell him that. He then knows what he is risking if he is ever in a particular situation.

Ladies, do you think that mixed thai man ...will be more monogamous? .

More monogamous than whom???

Lol what a strange topic.Like asking if mules are more monogamous than horses or donkeys! Who knows? it depends on the person and everyone is different.

As a Thai American, I can say that I had strong conservative views about love and relationships growing up in the USA, losing the v card somewhere around 18, about the same time I came over to Thailand and experienced a whole new world, and suddenly had stronger sense of identity here as a 'luk kreung' where as in the states growing up, almost everyone is mixed with a lot of cross-cultural races and for the most part wasn't much special there...

Polygamous lifestyle definately sprouted for me moreso in Thailand...but that's not to put the blame on Thailand or culture or anyone but myself, just quick observation.

well we have discussed this before and i had a lot of dissenting opinions, but i believe that a polygamous lifestyle is more widely practiced and accepted in thailand, and this is because of cultural differences. how many people in the west would have anything like a "mia noi"? also look at how entrenched prostitution is in normal thai society.

OP - as we don't want this topic to go down the slippery slope of saying 'most' Thai men are not monogomous can you please clarify what your oruiginal question is, cheers

uhm, I think the question and following discussion is quite clear; whether or not that discourse is welcome here is another slope, I imagine.

the questions a bit pointless really as I doubt anyone knows anough half thai men & an equal number of full thai men in a significant amount to make a real comparison. I know many full thai men & as a general rule they all seem to be in happy relationships with both thai or foreign women &, on the suface, both parties seem monogomous. In all my years in Thailand I have never met a half thai man, I know a couple of male half thai children, my 5month old son being one of them. I'll come back to this thread in 25years once I have asked him & my friends half/half sons how monogmous they are.!!!!

Of course, actual research into it might be surplus to requirement as some people will always find it easier to place blame at the feet of a whole group of individuals rather than look at their own choices & see why they come across a certain personality trait in past & future partners time & time again. Might be too painful to do though, as a lot of self analysis tends to be .
