Why do some ( ? many ) expats start a new family with Thai wives?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have met plenty of old farangs that have children, the thai wife is secure and knows that said sad farang will continue to be the ATM

even after she starts sleeping her with village boy friend, they(ATM) tell me they can't leave her because of the kids.

Did you meet them enjoying a beer by any chance? perhaps on their way to the Majestic breakfast or Memorial tea room? a family life with benefits, life is what they make it......not always as 'sad' as you may assume

Is this the dumbest post of the year?

Why is it the dumbest post?

OP is spot on, in many cases, she already has a few kids being raised by her mother, so why have more?

Easy to understand why you've never married or had children !

Because a lot of people come here for sex because they like it and sometimes that ends up with unexpected pregnancy and abortion is illegal here.,...or maybe they just like having young kiddies to play with...and not everyone has kids already you know....and just why the hell not ? It's no business of ours anyway. Let people do what they want as long as it is legal.

I didn't start this thread to say that people shouldn't have a second family. I did so because I don't understand it, and I'm not much closer to knowing the reason than before I posted it, so far.

Worst reason to date- because men HAVE to reproduce.

Before the social welfare nanny materialistic PC women are not just mothers development of Western societies, which can see is producing truly wonderful social conditions, families were large. High infant mortality rates coupled with peoples desire to have plenty of children to look after them when they themselves are old.

Now the West has dwindling birth rates and ageing population demographics.

Asia, Africa, Middle East all still value larger families. Thais see children as the flower of marriage and not producing children would be considered strange. Most other Asian girls I know, Chinese and Pinay's think the same. They all want a nice faithful husband, nice children and a nice home.

for the thai wife = insurance

for the farang husband = testosterone, to prove his seed is still ok

What a sad view of life. All women want to trap a farang husband by having children? All farang husbands are by implication of your comments older men seeking to show they are still fertile?

You need to broaden your social network.................. and maybe your mind too!

I don't understand why they want to get married at all. It is easy to fool around with young and attractive women on a regular basis, no matter how revolting one is. Why buy the cow?

Disagree with you Lemoncake. Often, regardless of ethnicity, women have a strong desire to have children from their present partner/husband, which also helps to secure a marriage. Suggest you study a bit about human nature, how it evolved and desire to populate the World, which is not only restricted to human beings by the way. Where have you both been hiding all your life?wai.gif

I do not think it is a simple to answer question.

But in my life I have found that men I knew were coming from a reason & logic

mindset & were not the ones to feel a need to reproduce.

Women coming more from a heart & emotional mindset seemed

imprinted with an inherent need to nest, create family etc.

Of course they also have a biological clock that is quickly winding down

so do not have the option of waiting till later years to decide as men do.

So I have seen many friends basically understand/agree with their wives for that reason.

Of course a mans first thought is usually logical & he worries about costs to raise

future responsibilities etc etc etc.

A woman just has the need & feels love is all the child needs & she has much to give.

The answer lay somewhere in the middle.

So many men myself included had kids early on due to their wife's need & also many men want children too of course.

I will also say that while I originally was apprehensive & fought it once I

was a father many things were taught to me through the experience of raising children.

Things I could not have learned any other way

I guess for you the experience is not to be & that is fine too.

Free will is the greatest thing about life. Probably the simplest answer to your

question too.

I understand 100% why the THAI wife wants to have children with her farang husband, but that's not what this thread is about. It's why the farang wants more children when he already has some.

Only if you feel sex with condoms is anywhere near as sensuous as the real thing! But I guess for a pensioner having a 3 minute jiggle with a stranger who shares no feelings for him, this will not be uppermost in his requirements. Let alone having children!

I like family life, I like children running around.

Produced at least five myself, working on number six.

PS

Never been that bothered about the woman, happy to change each time.

Obviously been more than a few years since you were a monger. 800 bht cheesy.gifcheesy.gifcheesy.gifcheesy.gifcheesy.gif

As for the rape thing, that's been well and truly debunked in countless threads on TV and other forums, but that's not what this thread is about, so please keep that for your own thread.

OP. You should be glad your ancestors started a family. If they didn't, you wouldn't be here.

True, but I also wouldn't be concerned about it, LOL.

Anyway, this thread isn't about men having children, it's about men having MORE children with a new wife that ALREADY has children.

I'm not asking about people that had no children before getting married.

We all know by now that prostitution is illegal. So the issue of abortion being illegal is not an issue. Many older farangs who have never been married (often selfish types) think that they marry a slave. In my wifes hometown in Issan many women want to marry a farang simply because they think that the foreigners are rich LOL. It amazes me what kind of losers some of this women will marry strictly for the money/support, just like in many other countries. A girl from a poor landless family has really only one way to go and that is UP. Many farangs lose a house in Thailand, but the same applies in the US. To find a wife like my Thai woman would be almost impossible in the West. I told my wife in the beginning that "Thai tradition and farang money" does not work with me. Get to know the traditions in Thailand before getting married here.

Given that the new Thai wives of said expats are usually with child/ren before marrying the farang, it can't be because the wives consider it essential, and given that many expats seem to have children from previous marriages it can't be essential for them either, so why?



Why it can't be? I wonder why where in fact I have 4 sons and if we did not do family planning, I should have 20 children now.

Both my GF and I are in our early 40s and both have children from previous marriages. We were told 2 years ago from a specialist doctor at a private hospital here, that the chances of us ever having children together was very unlikely (due to a operation my GF went through at that time).

Now she is 8 month pregnant and although, we were very surprised, we are both happy and look forward to the baby coming. So that is why, we are having a child together :-) Was not essential or planned, but now on the way...

My best wishes for the child and future parents !!!

Possibly because there more often than not is an age gap - younger wife with no need to work, relaxed lifestyle, and nature takes its course, just lay back and enjoy the process !!

< younger wife with no need to work >

Now that is another thing I don't understand. If the farang was marrying a western woman, it would generally be accepted that she should have a job, yet in Thailand it seems that the wife is expecting to live off her husband's money, and not go out to work, and the men go along with that. It wouldn't be like that in an ordinary Thai to Thai marriage. My SIL works really hard and has 2 children ( which lived with her mother so she could go to work ). Why are farang men so willing to allow their Thai wives to not work?

In your opinion!

It happens to be the norm in Thailand, including Thai men that can afford it.

Can we modify the post a little?

Ask why some older expats start a new family with Thai wives.

We all know of them..they post here regularly.

The men in their 60's talking about what they'd do to the school teacher for cutting their son's hair if they were 30 years younger. Or the special forces type etc etc etc ad nauseum.

These people will in all likelihood be dead before their children finish high school...why do they do this??? To feel good? But with no thought of the long term consequences of their progeny?

No doubt it could be an advantage to be light skinned in the cities...but in the up country villages where a lot of these men end up? The kids are neither Thai nor farang (in the villagers eyes).

Bordering on child abuse and a curse as seen from western eyes.

Discuss.

You are correct. I meant that, but I assumed everyone knew what I was talking about, those old men with money from the sale of their house ( after the divorce ) back in the UK or wherever living the high life in Thailand. They are invariably the ones pushing prams ( notice that Thai families almost NEVER use prams? ) with children young enough to be their grandchildren.

My brother is in the Philippines at 61 with an 18 month old. He will be the grandfather picking up the kid from primary school. poor kid.

Don't get me wrong....heaps of money and a hot wife.....but the poor kid comment remains.

want to pay football in the backyard.....crack there goes the hip.

My wife and I made the decision (she's 48 and still fertile) that we wouldn't have kids of our own so I got the snip. We enjoy all of our grand kids Thai and Western and each other.

Uh, this thread is about old farangs that have CHILDREN with new Thai wives. It's not about girlfriends, whether they have children already or not.

Come to that, if said old farangs had married another western woman after their divorce, would they expect to have more children with them?

Of course, it wouldn't happen, as the only western women that would marry them would already be in menopause biggrin.png .
