manny4life: Of course. It has to be written on a piece of paper. However, some pre-nups may not be enforceable if the terms are illegal. For instance, a pre-nup that states "If my wife doesn't want to have sex with me, I'll beat her up"can't be enforced because domestic violence is a crime. |

manny4life: Lol! Thanks! leave them to keep dreaming. That CFCfan sha. the guy is too soft for my liking. He has this annoying optimism even in the face of strong reality. Not saying it's a crime to be optimistic and supportive of all but sha try and know when to call a spade a spade. |

CFCfan: This is actually correct, very sad, though you can get an Iron Clad agreement that will greatly diminish your losses should things go south and if she doesn't sign, then she's not the one. I just did some research on this pre-nup subject and found out some states don't even allow you to remove alimony requirements, damn! |

manny4life:Her poll numbers against potential Republican nominees look good. She is, at least, 7% points ahead of one of the candidates in a hypothetical general election match-up. But as for the D. primaries, it looks like it will be a mere coronation. She's currently over 50% points ahead of her closest Democratic challenger. |

Thank god for this post and some people will sit in their homes with their phones be typing rubbish like ''Nigeria is the only country that is this that is that'', see i wonder why most people think that we human are different in the world.yes,we are different but if you really take your time and study people in the world you will be suprised that the things we are doing here some of them also do the same thing.i once asked an elderly person that why is it that everybody in USA is corrupt(sexual corruption to be precise) so he told me that it's not that everybody in Usa is corrupt that some of them are even better than some pastors here,he said we can see all these because they don't want to hide it and the technology thing again,he said Nigerians are corrupt but we don't broadcast it we do it ''codedly''.i just wonder why people talk(type) lyk they actually know everything going on presently in other countries. 2 Likes |

CFCfan: More reason why a person MUST consult an attorney, both parties MUST have an attorney present and a prenuptial agreement MUST be reached. The lawyers know the law, so they know what goes and what doesn't. They are the best advisory (though expensive ) on marriage matters. They will advise on pros and cons, so each party knows the contracting clause binding the enforcement of the agreement. |

CFCfan: Even then they knew it will be much much easier for a black man to rule America than any kind of woman. A woman can only rule when the gender thing becomes more balanced. Trust me, there are many jobs that pay men more than women. Men rule the US. How many CEOs can you count from America? Compare them to their total number of working women then compare them to the CEOs in Nigeria and the total number of working women here. |

There are more virgins in America than any country in the world. If you are 20 years old & above & you date a girl who is less than 20 year old, you will spend 5 years in jail. |

CFCfan: Did you say mundane? When money is involved? In fact, if I am wealthy like that, ANY WOMAN who doesn't want to agree to friendly terms (my terms of course) must flee. I CANNOT part my wealth with a greedy woman who has no idea on how wealth is acquired. |

Sweetlemon: Yeah we all think America is a liberated, free country for all. But what we do not know is that to some extent, there are things that Americans still practice despite all the feminism and human rights movements, some even outdated. 1) Gender Equality. Women are paid the same as Men. There is no separate pay scale for Women that I've seen in 25 years of corporate America. Now if you take time off for daycare, sick kids, etc then of course your male counterparts will move ahead. 2) Not all American families celebrate thanksgiving, even the religious Americans. There are various types of weddings available. There are shotgun weddings in Las Vegas, weddings while skydiving to scuba diving. 3) I know you said probably. Recent surveys shows that most american families are now dual income earners due to our economy. 4) Of this I am sure. Women are the same all over the world. You have gold diggers in any country. It is my opinion that Nigeria has way more gold diggers that the US due to the economic situation at home. Almost every single girl I met on my last visit to Nigeria has hit me up for some school fees or some money for a program. (I met a lot of single girls while trying to drum up users for my dating site). At best in the US you'll take a girl out on a date, or buy her a gift. I;v never had a girl in the US asked me to pay her school fees before. 5) I am a straight Guy and I don't hate gay guys. I have many gay friends and coworkers. What two people chose to do in the privacy of their bedroom is none of my business. Gays do have equal rights in the US. My Wife who just cam dot the US last year witnessed two guys getting married when we went to get our childs birth certificate in court (she almost threw up watching the whole affair). 6) Most men in any country will choose a virgin over a LovePeddler. That being said, many people are married to exotic dancers, porn stars, etc The US us is not as judgmental as you would think. 7) I have no data on this but I doubt your opinion. Totally BS. One night stand at clubs just like in Nigeria is common. When I was dating my friends and I have a 3 dates rule = if you don't put out on the third date then you'll never see us again. We don't open doors for Women. Frankly any Woman that can't open her door herself will be on a dump list soon. 9) True. To some extent. 2 Likes |

CFCfan: There were more possibilities for a black man back then than it is for a woman right now. Race has always been an issue at the forefront of the American society. Race and culture is talked about everyday. There are bills advancing the acceptance of different race, there are efforts by different movements to reduce racial profiling. Therefore, a black man is more likely to lead a billion corporation (even as a minority) than a woman. That's because gender equality isn't a hot button topic at the moment, when it becomes one, then we may have a possibility. |

Sweetlemon:I agree that men are more empowered economically than women in the US. That's why liberals introduced the Fair Pay Act in Congress. But women in America make up 60% of the electorate. If Clinton can get 60%% of their vote, she may be on her way to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. |

Atmmachine: There are more virgins in America than any country in the world. Not true. The age of consent is generally at least 18 and even lower in some areas. You can't be charged with rape of a minor if you just "dated" but you could be charged with other charges like encouraging a minor, etc |
