People don’t realize that every marriage has a pre-nup. Either the one you make between you or the one placed on you by the courts/government.
It’s just like death and going through probate. I other probate is to enforce what is in the will, or to follow the governments/court wishes for how to distribute assets. |

It might be a small pool but he has much better chances of the marriage working with an "equal" partner. |

If you've hired an idiot for a lawyer, and the prenup is poorly-written, then it can be legally attacked...or if you've included anything related to the children (the Court decides that stuff, with an eye towards the children's "best interests" and will ignore any prenup agreement on custody, religion/upbringing, etc). |

I'm not a lawyer but it was my understanding prenuptial agreements signed in such close proximity to the wedding get thrown out as it would be under duress.
You have money invested and all your close family and friends heading to the ceremony. Making a woman sign a prenuptial then and there seems like it would meet the criteria Idk maybe someone more knowledgeable can chime in but I had heard that one one of the random rage bait podcasts |

If she DID sign it on the day of the wedding or day before that would not give her enough time to have HER lawyer review it.
Based on "duress" and her not having it legally reviewed, She'd get half his shit. |

I could be wrong taking the dude at face value in the video. In any event, he layed out 400K for the wedding - I doubt he's rich enough so that's an insignificant amount of money. Too much for most to want to make a point when there's so many other women available to a dude with his resources. I believe his word that he genuinely loved her (and was holding out hope that she would sign it) and that his only mistake was not pressing the issue harder a month or at the latest a week out. |

Yeah that's where the real money is. They impute alimony and child support at whatever you could theoretically make with your skills at your best and in some insane high CoL area your wife wanted you to live in during the marraige. IF you get divorced, need to downsize and move to a rural area or Burkino Faso they still impute you at the high income you could make while a wife could help with rent in a high cost of living area. The fiction is somehow you're cutting your income to spite your wife, when really any married couple adjusts their cost of living as their income changes. It's completely insane divorced couples can't adjust their cost of living downward with circumstances just as married ones do. |

To the naysayers, far more prenups are enforce than voided, and the ones that get voided are usually begging for it. |

It could be made synonymous with the term "alpha male". which despite the cringe everyone feels only means one thing in context of these conversations.

As part of the marriage planning, women write the wedding vows and men write the prenuptial agreement.
The prenup is not an admission of failure as much as it is an admission that our legal system (divorce proceedings) is a complete failure that victimizes men. |
