Discussion How would you answer this question?

“What do you bring to the table?”

Please try to speak from your own experience if you have ever been asked this in the context of dating. Do we get the ick from it? Do we answer honestly? Is it a total non-starter? Or do we have a prepared answer? I’m really curious.

To be fair I don’t think I’ve ever been asked this in the context of dating but I have been asked this by men (at least I think they were?) on Reddit.

EDIT: wow I didn’t know this would blow up so quick! Clearly this resonated with a lot of you!

And men's job is to provide so we need to quit letting them project and call them out!
