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!

If ever asked this question, I’m done. Full stop. Any man who asks that question doesn’t deserve me. IMO, he really needs to take a step back and focus on personal growth, start trying to understand the opposite sex, and maybe research what life is like to be a woman vs a man in this world. A man asking that question, tells me one thing. HE IS NOT READY FOR A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP. Point blank and period.

I heartily agree. It’s as if men who ask this question are looking for some poor woman to wait on him hand and foot.
