>>>Speaking only for myself, I'd never sign a prenup whether if favoured me or not. I guess I'm a bit old fashioned, but I just can't see myself saying to a woman, "I love you. I want to spend my life with you. Please sign this because I'm not sure I really trust you." And anyone who implied the same to me would see me walking away - quick.

>>I don't have a pre-nup. I was married young and it made no sense for us. Where I see it making the most sense is for people farther along in life who had already have children and family assets and so forth. Then, a pre-nup protects the interests of those (possibly adult) children in the assets of the family to which they were born.

>>A pre-nup doesn't have to be only about divorce; it can about distribution of assets at death, as well.

>I thought that's what wills are for. You mean a prenup that divides up assets among non existing descendents? Sounds a little to weird for me.
Marriage confers certain property rights by default. AIUI, a pre-nup can make it clear that the default situation is not the case for this marriage.
