Marriage IS a partnership, not just about love. It is the people who have an overly romanticized and unrealistic understanding of marriage that I'd be worried about; there are expectations and responsibilities of both parties, and often one person turns out to not be willing to put in the same amount of work for the relationship as the other.
For a first marriage, when people tend to be younger and not have much in the way of assets, a prenup may not be as important as when a couple is older, have more assets on the line, may have inheritances already or anticipated, and so on. If I get married again, I will want one. No one goes into marriage planning on a divorce, but the problem is that divorce can happen for so many reasons unanticipated, and when they do, that is NOT the time when the two people can be expected to fairly negotiate.
If I was single now and got married I wouldn't think of it without a prenup. Doesn't mean I don't love the person I just want to protect what I had before. If she had assets I would sign her prenup.
It would put my mind at ease that any decision we made for the future wouldn't be life shattering if it didn't work out the way we had hoped because we'd both have something to fall back on.
It may sound like one foot is out the door, but it would actually give me piece of mind to put two feet in the door since there's no irreversible harm in it.
Another good reason to only date and potentially marry a childless man. My children would not have to split assets with other children. Keeps things less complicated.
If you and the person you've been dating were discussing marriage, and if they earned significantly more than you, and they insisted on a prenuptual agreement, would you hesitate or would you be ok with it and consider it reasonable?
(To be on the safe side, let's assume this question is gender neutral)

I just said, "Sure, don't see why not." I'm really not sure what could be a more direct answer than that. Are you actually reading these responses?

Oh sorry. I'll keep an eye out for your posts in future so I don't miss them.
