Over a casual dinner, Rachel Kaplan turned to her boyfriend and asked, "You're open for a prenup, right?"
Darren Waldohlz, 38, a partner in a successful speed-dating business, admits he was caught off guard. But he said he realized a prenuptial agreement would protect the house he owns, too.
"It's not that I plan to get divorced," says Kaplan, 23, a single mom from Fort Lauderdale, who has a sizable inheritance. "I have to protect myself and my daughter."
While men are still more likely to seek a prenup, "women are becoming a more dominant force," said attorney Alan Braverman, who has offices in Fort Lauderdale and Boynton Beach.
Experts attribute the change to women marrying later or more than once.
"It's not uncommon in today's world that women are entering marriages with assets and stock options," said matrimonial attorney Jacqueline Valdespino, in Coral Gables. "Now both sides have equal bargaining power."

I'm not the one with comprehension problems...go read your own posts, pet. Your garbled, incoherent replies are laughable at best. So I just wrote what I did, to lay out the correct, cogent, error free, comprehensible facts! :-)

no, Bon....what she really means is :
"I don't know why I am marrying a guy 15 yrs older than me but I for sure am not going to let him steal my money as well as my youth."

I think this topic divides FR into distinct groups: Men who are afraid of Marriage, & Everybody Else. :-)
To: Age of Reason
IMHO, your attitude is one of the WORST here, as far as marriage and women are concerned. So you feel that sex is something so cheap, that you should be able to get whenever, and with whom ever, you please? AND on top of that, with NO commitment?
I DEFINITELY do not belong in the generation I live in. Because I believe that sex is just one part of a relationship-- and that sex should be saved until MARRIAGE(I realize that is a foreign concept to you, but not to me). Sadly, too many people, both men and women today, think like you do-- that a person should just "have fun', and then after they get tried of that bed, just "move on', to another.
I, for one(and I know of a couple of other men here on FR), desire a woman for a companion and friend, NOT just for "another notch on the bedpost". If you could only realize that your attitude cheapens women, and men, and sex, and everything,maybe you would not have that attitude anymore.
but I doubt that you will ever understand that. YOU do fit in with the modern, pagan morals , twilight-zone society of today. I do NOT.

Nope, you really aren't all that "old fashioned", unless it's in the sense of an 8th-13th century, Islamic fashion.
"OLD CLASSIC" ? As in: "Madonna or whore"/women should be kept pregnant in the summer and barefoot in the winter mode?
Come on, fess up, just how old are you and have you ever dated the same female more than once ? :-)
To: HitmanNY
You left out one...men who are scared to death of women. But those men are also the ones who are frightened blue of marriage. :-)

And so she might become someone's paid mistress, for example.

You really should seek counseling for your deep rooted hatred of women.

Believe me I know what I wish for and THIS is not that thing.
Saying that a woman can become some guys paid mistress?
This guy is either a Muslim or a DUmmy in disguise. It fits either playbook.

You replied: Society has ALWAYS be a part in every marriage. And if you think that that is incorrect . . . .
Show me where I think it incorrect.
And quote me.
To: Rca2000
pretty much..
what he says is the absolutely antithesis of any kind of Conservative code that anyone on this site would advocate or adhere too.
Basically it says that mean can be decadent and women must be chaste or be whores.
it's absolutely idiocy. This guy probably thinks David Duke is correct.

You gave us this little gem of Muslim idiocy. So tell me, are you a Muslim or a 15 yr old that hasn't been outside of his parent's basement yet?
