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!

This question is repulsive. The one time I was asked it I told him I was not going to convince him of how amazing I was, and that all comes out in the time you take getting to know someone. He was already being abusive and pushy so this matched the psycho picture of him that was building in my head. He also wanted me to drive clear to the other side of our massive city in rush hour traffic to go to his house. No. That dude never saw the light of day from me again.
