Angel_Master Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 yes, i think as others have said this is usually used jokingly and very very few use it seriously.. well explained by cherryberry.. i think if you sleep with a gig then most thai girls will be hoping/expecting to become bf/gf after that and if just not possible or doesn't happen then it will be a one time thing.. only a very few thai girls keep seeing a guy after sleeping with him and treat him as a gig over any period of time.. for the few that do so it's not uncommon for them to expect money or gifts in return.. "by treat as a gig" i mean, will send time together but don't want to be seen together and only meet up at sort notice and usually only for a short periods of time.. i think gig is almost always a very temporary status.. it is joked about precisely because while it does happen people are not really comfortable with it.. and also just as a flirt.. to break the ice and get to know someone..

bryanwhat Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 I have noticed it can be applied to both situations, a friend but not a lover. But it can also be "friend with benefits" as well. It depends on the person really, but I think Cherryberry summed it up really well. In my experience/opinion I think that Thai girls use gig to mean friend but not boyfriend. And most farangs tend to use gig as "f*#k buddy".

Joopjip Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I've actually said this a million times but Im happy to say it a million time more. Thai girls do not have gigs..not the majority of us anyway. When people cheat on u the reason is, in most cases,they dont really like u as simple as that. They are not sure your the one so they keep dating others on the side hoping one day one of those will turn out right ..which is super pathetic, no excuses.I never date men im not crazy about.Life is too short!!

You make two contradictory statements here: (1) Thai girls do not have gigs (in other words, NO thai girls have gigs) (2) The majority of Thai girls do not have gigs (in other words, some, perhaps even many do, but not over 50% of girls) IMO, there is a huge amount of sexual diversity happening in Thailand at the moment. Many girls, perhaps the majority of those in the countryside, still beleive that sex is something to be saved for marriage and will be virgins on their wedding day. Incidentally, that was the norm for everyone in Thailand untill about 20 years ago. However, there has defintely been a sexual revolution in Thailand over the last generation and now in the cities the freer expression of sexuality is becoming much more common. Unlike in the past, when sex was something you "gave" to your husband, many girls have realized that sex is something equally pleasurable for females and thus having sex with more than one person at a time can be fun. So that's why some modern Thai women have multiple lovers or gigs. Before settling down and getting married, why not fool around a bit? After all, the practice of serial monogomy, ie dating one person at a time and being exclusive to them, is really just a western import and has never been part of Thai culture. On the other hand, the "gig" phenomena can be seen as an extension of the "major wife/minor wife" system, where a wealthy and good looking Thai male might have one primary girlfriend and several other girls on the side who might all wish they were his main girlfriend but will be content being his "gig". This might be seen as less as expression of sexual liberation than of the continuation of old power dynamics, especially if the females are expected to be exclusive to the one man who himself has several gigs. Either way....I don't think its right either to overplay and exagerate the gig phenomena nor to pretend it doesn't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
