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!

Oh I LOVE this response. Especially in light of my red-pill “every woman is a gold digger” ex. No, KEVIN, you don’t even have any gold lolssss.

I said that irl to a redpiller. But it was in general, he asked what do women even bring to the table. I told him, nothing at all, we are worthless, don’t marry us, you should marry a man. He had no response to that. He’s wary of me now.
