Why does RP fear marriage?

You're betting 50% minimum of your assets with a less than 50% of success.

On top of those odds, if you "win" the bet your prize is an old, out of shape, nagging, low libido housewife who spends your money.

but as long as she signs a prenuptial agreement... what's the problem?

Google "pre-nup thrown out" and you'll have many, many answers to your question.

Prenuptial agreements mean almost nothing.

I like the idea of marriage obviously but out of unbiased fairness:

The legal environment is changing, it leans too much towards the female in case of a divorce to the point where prenuptial agreements are not as rock solid anymore in allowing you to protect what you worked for through the years.

Did you even look for the answer before asking this question?

A prenupt usually only protects assets you already own. She'll still get half of everything you make during the marriage.

A prenupt can be ignored or thrown out. Common reasons:

She did not consult an attorney before signing.
The same lawyer represented both bride and groom.
She signed under duress -- a wedding date was already set, plans announced to family, etc.

A prenupt can not specify child support or custody. The main reason most guys want to marry is to have a family. A prenupt won't stop her stealing your kids. That is a far bigger fear than any money worry.

Laws vary state to state. Do not expect common sense from the law. Most attorneys offer a free consult before you hire them.

Do I wear a seatbelt? Every single time I have ever been in a car.

Do I still fear car accidents? Absolutely.

Does this mean I never drive? No.

Would I still drive if the government mandated that all seatbelts had to break in 50% of accidents, and that 50% of the road surface must be covered in oil at all times? Would you be dumb enough to?

One thing that I don't understand is MLMIKE39's fear (yes I said fear) of jumping off the Golden Gate bridge.

I clearly understand hitting the water at terminal velocity... but as long as you try to go in feet first... what's the problem?

Maybe I'm missing something, but this had been on my mind recently and I'd like to understand what fear remains if being a professional bridge jumper is in place.

Pre-nups can be overrun in courts. In a lot of cases they have been torn up and do not guarantee protection. During a divorce, women are known to play dirty. They will play victim of emotional abuse/dv or worse case scenario even rape and sexual assault. Your word won't count and you will be taken to the cleaners. Outside of marriage, false rape cases are anything between 40-70% depending on the country. When there is money to be made, many women will at least think about it, even if they don't apply it.

Fear is a strong word. I wouldn't say that TRP fears marriage, it just realizes that ninety-nine percent of women out there are not worth the legal and emotional risks involved.

Some women use marriage as a financial strategy. I can't tell you how many women business owners I've talked to where the conversation started with "After the divorce, I used the money I got to start my business."

There is also the "Big Day" aspect. I've talked to and read about many younger women that got married just to have the wedding. One even had the woman stating that "Everything was perfect, except the groom."

Also, a pre-nup is almost worthless: http://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=5333445

Prenups are rarely enforceable in the slightest and never ever enforceable in full or in practicality. Also, you need to read the sidebar as is required before posting in this sub. This generic question is more than answered in the sidebar material

Why do you "fear" being not-married?

What does marriage actually provide beyond an otherwise committed LTR?

A marriage is, above all else, a financial contract. Does a business man feel 'fear' when a prospective business partner offers him an unreasonably risky (for his business) contract? Or does he recognize a bad agreement and refuse to sign?

Get married and find out.

It's not fear, it's calculated rejection.
