re: Why do so many couples not sign prenuptial agreements?

Wrong. This is the most mis-stated 'truth' out there.

whether its 40% or 50% its still fricking astronomically high to risk your entire financially livelihood on an emotional female who can just claim not to be happy anymore and get a divorce - no fault divorce laws, not even once.

plus, when you factor in infidelity rates, marriage becomes even more of a plebeian move.

so, yes, a true alpha would never get married; there is no need in todays world.

I hope this is just a schtick, because having a truly beautiful wife that is committed to being your partner is the single best thing on this whole damn planet. I love how macho is so damn cool...bunch of lonely morons flexing into the shine of their freshly polished rims.

At least 90% of this board is nothing more than a feeling or thought that someone multiplies to the 1,000 just to try and make a point or seem e-cool.

Because I'm not a retard and actually got to know the girl before I married her. Tough shite if you married a psycho who wants to take your shite, that's on you. Also divorce is for pussies.

Lets assume 15% of couples actually know the girl. Statistically that would lead to half of that 15% getting divorced.

Women, although they say they marry for love, marry for financial and economic gain. When our court system gave women an economic and financial advantage to divorce marriage became a contract that is heavily weighted in the woman's favor. A man should only marry if he wants children and he should protect his assets, period.

Indeed, marriage is an outdated instrument that has been ruined by feminism.

But that will never stop the beta from being a sheep.

At least protect your retirement accounts.

you can't protect assets acquired during the marriage with a prenup, I'm sure your attorney told you this

71% of people in this country makes less than 50,000 per year and that includes all ages. What would the point of a prenup be for the vast majority of the population?

I've never been able to understand this. Taking precautions doesn't mean you have no faith in your relationship to last. If something were to happen, then there's already a document signed by both parties and you don't have to get lawyers involved or frick each other over.

Someone explain this to me.

It usually doesn't make sense for a first marriage for younger couples unless one comes from money and its needed as a formality to protect an estate or trust.

My wife and I dated all through college and grad school and married right after we graduated and both got jobs. It didn't make sense for two 24 year olds to get a prenup because neither of us brought much to the marriage (she actually brought way more than I did).

Now, if you're older and more well-established or one or both parties has gone through a divorce, a prenup would be wise.

I've been on both sides of this.

First marriage, no pre-nup. My ex-wife went wild, driving up debt during the marriage. We divorced, and I got saddled with half the debt.

Second marriage, I vowed that I would never marry without a pre-nup ever again. Signed a pre-nup with my soon to be wife. A few years later, she died. And guess what? She left everything to her brother in her will. No community property was established in our marriage, so that meant I was left with... you guessed it... nothing (that's the short version... not getting into the long version).

Totally fricking screwed both ways. If I had to chose between the two, the pain of being left with nothing after my wife died was greater than the debt the ex-wife left me.

Probably not going to get married again, but I would actually advise AGAINST the pre-nup. You always think you're protecting yourself from having your finances raided one day... but it can swing in the other direction, too. And boy, does it suck.
