dudeyone Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 What is a Gik? Is it like a F buddy? Or open relationship? I am asking a thai girl to be my gik. I really dont see her being my girlfriend but wouldnt mind some companion fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyd Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Hahahaha, so is it ok to ask a girl to be your gik? Wonder if it goes down well when you basically ask her If she wants a shag. Suppose you would be getting straight to the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really dont see her being my girlfriend but wouldnt mind some companion fun. I was told by a Thai friend that it is a "girl friend on the side"...what we would call a friend with benefits. The implication is that you meet for sex and whatever....no strings attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastender Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 My understanding is a 'gik' is a second wife, a woman on the side so to speak. It's not necessarily a sexual term but implies she's a second partner to a more permanent one. And from what I hear in practice the man usually gives some financial support. Seems to me most relationships are based on security and so one would expect the 'gik' to be in it for the benfits, rather than the pleasure.

Eastender Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Well, that was my understanding but I've just checked it with the Mrs who tell me a gik is just a girlfriend for fun, no commitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like a "Mia Noi" = minor wife Prevalent in Thailand, I have heard of it in Taiwan & China. I have only seen it practced in Thailand.

I thought a second wife/partner,who you support,with the wife knowing most times,is a mia noi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make him/her a whore. of course but they think they are posh/hi-so when they do it this way.Been said on here many times how much is going on with uni students and mainly older thai men,and these guys are basicly sponsoring them not having a gf.Go on the dating sites and its full of them,its a great laugh betting on how many minutes it takes for a uni student to ask for money.If my gf was educated and uni student i wouldnt come on here bragging about it,they still have the same language, where you go what you do where you from money for me pelase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
