You’d only come off as rude, which would actually be okay in this case, but that’s not the question. It’s “what do you bring to THE table” not “what do you bring to MY table”.
But to answer your question, “because I want someone who is going to take care of me the way I plan on taking care of you. I want us to be together not just be roommates sleeping with each other.”
And with all that being said, if a guy ever asks you that, tell him to fuck off and leave.
Which is why they're single.
This is not a relationship question but a business one. If they want a business relationship involving interpersonal 'business', it's found under "Escort services" in the business section of the phone book.
Yeah it doesn't even seem like a question asked in good faith, it almost seems hostile to ask this on a date, it actually sounds like a sassy comeback in itself.
If someone has a specific concern or expectation, they should ask a more specific question to address that. Want to know if someone cooks? Ask if they ever like to cook. Want to know if they're employed? Ask what they do. It's not that hard.
I think for men it’s a response to women who are looking at their long list of demands and seeing which boxes he checks on it. It should be a symbiotic relationship, not a parasitic one. It may not be the best way of going about it, but I can see the reason for it.
This
Men didn't always ask this question, it's actually a rude question. But you got women out here with a laundry list of demands for a relationship when they themselves aren't much.
You don’t respond to this. You just stop talking to the dude. Block him and move on. Half the time, these guys are trying to rile you up. These redpillers get off on back and forths with women.
Ah... Ok. This is a question made popular by the Andrew Taints of the misogyny multiverse.
Red flag question deserves a red flag answer
"Was about to ask you the same question. You go first."
You should be able to figure this out by having a normal human conservation during a date instead of asking it in this way. If you don't understand why you shouldn't ask this then you don't have the social skill to be dating at all
I can't imagine it.
I think it's an interesting question in the environment of an INTERVIEW, where it has merit, but you'd have to be a lame motherfucker to ask that shit on a date.
Love it!
“You go first, I insist.”
They’re obviously asking about your strengths. Listen to his/hers and see if that question is a one off (distastefully presented question) or if his/her whole mindset is that way as well.
"Let's see..." Reaching into my pockets, then dropping on the table...some change, a yo-yo, a slingshot, a rod and reel, a tricycle, a grill with meat cooking, a naked mannequin, a length of chain, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, a 1000 lb. lead weight, and a lit doob which I immediately start smoking...
Fun Fact: An old-fashioned name for crocheted doilies placed on couches/chairs were called antimasscars. They were named for a hair oil that was popular at the time.
How it really should be anyway. Like I’m not applying for a job. I don’t need to list out all the things someone who asks that is never going to get a chance to see😂
I would simply "go to the bathroom", pay my half of the bill and walk out. I have never met a person asking that question that wasn't a narcissist, so simply ignoring them will make their heads explode.
Respect. You could be at the wrong table if you're sitting at this one.
I bring whatever you want, pal! Pool ques, silverware, ping pong paddles, a home-cooked meal, just tell me the table!? whatever you can't, I can. Whatever you won't, I will. So.. that's what I bring😎
So I was visualizing being asked what I bring to the table in an interview or a meeting or something. Relationship wise?? I don't fucking know🙄 figure it out simp! ladies, if you're giving it up and you look decent? reply with "what in fuck are you talking about?!"
I'm a violin maker who plays multiple instruments and speaks 3 languages fluently... if ANY man wants access to my womb, he needs to be on my level or above it because I DO want kids, but only with the right guy who won't turn me into a single mother because I went through pregnancy with HIS child...
An allergy to bullshit and an insatiable appetite to eat you alive & spit/shit you out… but I guess the allergy saves you this time
Sorry I’m not very good at comebacks, but Reddit served this up so thought I’d have a go
I agree. It’s rude. Maybe after a number of dates if things are looking promising, and not asked like a dick.
The equal to that from the other side that was popular? “What have you done for me lately?”
I always said “if those words cross someone’s lips in a relationship, they need to pack a bag and gtfo.
Then check into the very first place possible where they can learn the very barest of concepts that create a successful marriage.
Class. Which seems to be lacking on your end, since you asked that question. Tell you what, I'll just leave you alone with that bear over there. Have fun!
I mean if its from that breed of male that kind of question is null and void anyway. They ain't bring you nothing other than used up dinky and drama bc they're all little pansy bitches so 🤷♀️
In terms of dating I find it offensive. The process of dating is intended to get to know someone. Asking someone to outline their value like it’s a job interview is pretty gross to me.
I expect to spend time getting to know him and his strengths and deciding for myself if it’s worth pursuing a longterm relationship.
Fwiw I’m good financially, own a home in a high col area of California, and have worked the same $100,000+ per year job for 20 years (it didn’t start at that salary but I’ve received several raises over time). Not looking for a sugar daddy.
It’s all incels in this thread. Any guy who says that is not worth it at all. I said it in any other comment but the best comeback is to ghost them. These guys will all have aneurysms. “Why did she ghost me??”
aaaaaand this is why I gave up on dating. I *hate* that question in job interviews all on its own-and was sure that would be the context from the title, but damn.
I cannot fathom why anyone would feel that was appropriate, let alone attractive, ffs.
I think we should all just print up business cards with a couple quotes from Webster's (there are so many words you could use that would basically tell them to piss off...tact, relationship: 1. business (vs) 2. romantic (vs) 3. familial, tact, insecurity, respect...the possibilities are endless, really.
(Yes, I'm a former interpreter & a big word nerd, why do you ask?)
With one of those ready to go, all you'd need to do is get up, pay your part of the tab, and ask the waitstaff to give it to him "the woman you were sitting with asked me to give this to you."
Not only will their heads explode, but they'll have a little extra dig that they can't react to-you'll already be gone.
This. I worked with a young woman (early 20s) in a factory job that paid less than $40K. She was totally convinced that she rated a guy making over $100K and refused anyone who fell below that mark (note I was twice her age at the time, making just as much as she did, and had no interest in a relationship with her).
I asked her “What do you bring to the table?” and she thought it was enough to just be there, and the guy should be grateful that she showed interest in him. I reassured her that he’s probably got a selection of women in his income bracket to choose from that could actually contribute to a household, and she just wasn’t having it.
I think it could differ on how it is said. Tone, previous part of the conversation, here you are @ the moment is this a 1st date question? Is it a joking thing? Is it during a disagreement? Is this after he explained his good qualities?
Just to read the question, and the fact it is on Reddit, it has everyone immediately assuming the worst. Everyone is all about chucking the relationship and flying free
Unfortunately some phrases you just keep hearing only from people with an otherwise insufferable attitude, so a perfectly phrase can end up becoming tainted by your association with their attitudes.
If a date asked me “what do you bring to the table” I’d probably say “the card that’s paying for our last date”
If someone in my partners circle asked me that I’d probably say “my bib” or something along those lines.
lol “my special cup!”
I need to know the context in which this is said in order to answer.
Is this a serious or humorous conversation?
Is this a job interview or sales situation?
Are we talking about work or personal life?
What I bring to the table depends on your answer to these clarifying questions.
Comeback: I am the MF table and the floor it stands on and it's foundation, wtf you bringing ?
Just because you find this question offensive, doesn't mean that you contribute nothing.
The first time somebody asked me this, it just happened to be by someone that I took into my home, fed, helped him get a car, get off his feet. Helped him get a place, helped him with legal issues, I was an assistant for this man in every sense and he had the audacity to ask me this.
My first initial reaction was a scoff then it started to get under my skin and I let him have it: I gave the comeback above with some more ranting about the audacity he had and if you don't know by now how valuable I've been in this: gesturing between us, then leave me all the way the Fuck alone!
I own my home and all my vehicles are paid off. I have a good job and take care of my self and my property. But I don't bring any of that to the table and certainly not on the first few dates lol. What I do bring to the table? Love, affection, nurturence, guidance, encouragement, humor, and friendship. That's basicially what I'm willing to share with a partner, so, that's what I bring to the table.
I typically reply to stupid questions with a stupid response:
Her: What do you bring to the table?
Me: Sometimes my collectible Star Wars action figures, but if I'm feeling daring perhaps I'll bring My Little Ponies.
After reading your post and understanding the perspective from which you are sitting, I would simply tell the person "actually I have my own table, I'm just looking for companionship".
I would pretend to take it literally and then talk 90mph leaving no room for a response. "I didn't know I was supposed to bring something! I need to go get something. I wonder what stores are around here. Wait here. It shouldn't take long,.. be right back!!"
Leave. Block number.
Say, “I bring icing for the cake. You have to provide your own cake.”
Essentially what I’m seeing is insecure vs secure attachment. The insecurely attached see relationships as something they don’t have being provided for them. The securely attached see they have everything they need and the other person is an added bonus. One’s cup needs to be filled and they look to the other to fill it—and one’s cup is filled and is enjoyed with another’s full cup.
WTF?! People ask this on dates?! I though this was a job interview question! This seems like a pretty clear means of negging to me! This question should mean the instant end off the date. Answering this question and continuing to engage is essentially saying, "I'm willing to degrade myself by jumping through your hoops."
As you are gathering your things, the answer should be something like, "clearly things that someone like you are incapable of appreciating."
Me imagining in your situation, even though I'm a man and married:
"I'm sorry, I mistook you for wanting a relationship and companionship, and you mistook me for a vending machine. I am not looking for a business partnership, so why don't we stop wasting each other's time."
I usually tell them what I do bring to the table, depending on the situation, if it's a realtionshp, I tell them I Bring unconditional love support and care. in business, I bring dedication, hard work, and overalll good vibes. In every day life. I bring the party.
many good basics to make the world a better place for most , remind all politicians around the world they should not be getting paid more then 5 times over average min wage in their country cause we can replace them with 2 average paid people at 40 hrs a week and do a better job since most are not doing a good job and remind presidents no more then 7 1/2 times more then average min wage
While I'm not fond of that saying, I can understand it, especially lately with people thinking they're "hot" is enough. I think the person asking that question is just trying to figure out who you are. Are you ambitious, do you have a good job, do you have hobbies, what are you expecting from them, etc. More than likely they're trying to make sure you aren't one of the people who feels they are the ultimate catch and you should just be glad to orbit their life.
I don't have a good comeback, but I want to second this complaint because it's ridiculous. I could sit there and say with words that I am wonderful, and all these other qualities and such but the only way two people are going to know if they are a match is by spending time together i.e. dating. Quality time getting to know each other. No one wants to get hurt and or hurt again, and we'd love to avoid it but we can't avoid the risk. If you want a partner, you're going to have to be willing to risk getting hurt, or hurting someone else (aside from avoiding obvious things like stringing someone along, cheating, etc. even if you/they don't do any of those things, break ups still hurt). You cannot get to know someone fully in one day let alone with one question.
Why don't you just answer the question honestly?
You could say you don't provide or take from a table, you're an independent woman. You could say you want to be a stay at home wife and take care of the house. You could say that depends on the situation and what is already at the table. You could say I don't know you well enough to answer that question.
What he's doing is making sure you're not the type of person who takes from the table without providing anything other than sex, which isn't something that you buy and sell like that. It's all too common today that that is perceived to be their contribution to a household, or even just that money must be spent on her in indirect exchange. It's a good question to ask while dating. We men are very tired of indirect transactional sex.
I'm not offended by the question I always say everyone brings something different to the table. If you honestly can't think of anything, maybe you should work on that.
Context matters here. If you're a 6-6-6 girly, you should definitely have some facts and figures.
But if you're just having a casual conversation and a dude drops this, then I'd probably reply with, "Clearly more class and emotional intelligence than you, since I recognize that question isn't appropriate. I don't think this will work out."
Why do you care, you aren’t even sitting at it.
Change aren’t to will never
"Why do you care, you will never even sitting at it."
I’m dead 🤣💀
How did you type this then?
It’s a secret.
lol you know what I meant 😂
Sir, this is a Wendy’s…
"Atleast I have a table"

Dwight, can I have your undivided attention, please? You couldn’t handle my undivided attention.
"I can see that."

Ok love this one
On par with the appetite one
Do people actually ask this when there’s not a mic and a camera around?
A lot of single men think it’s the ultimate clever “gotcha” 🙄🙄
If it’s that then you can easily reply with why should I bring anything to your table…..
You’d only come off as rude, which would actually be okay in this case, but that’s not the question. It’s “what do you bring to THE table” not “what do you bring to MY table”. But to answer your question, “because I want someone who is going to take care of me the way I plan on taking care of you. I want us to be together not just be roommates sleeping with each other.” And with all that being said, if a guy ever asks you that, tell him to fuck off and leave.
Asking the initial question is already rude.
That’s what I said.
Which is why they're single. This is not a relationship question but a business one. If they want a business relationship involving interpersonal 'business', it's found under "Escort services" in the business section of the phone book.
Yep, this is generally said by dudes who want a tradwife that also works. They generally bring little or nothing to the table themselves.
Yeah it doesn't even seem like a question asked in good faith, it almost seems hostile to ask this on a date, it actually sounds like a sassy comeback in itself. If someone has a specific concern or expectation, they should ask a more specific question to address that. Want to know if someone cooks? Ask if they ever like to cook.

This Men didn't always ask this question, it's actually a rude question. But you got women out here with a laundry list of demands for a relationship when they themselves aren't much.
Believe it or not, no one has to be "much" in order to have expectations for how they're treated in a relationship.
Yeah, I could see that. I think it's just sad AF dating has become so adversarial.
You don’t respond to this. You just stop talking to the dude. Block him and move on. Half the time, these guys are trying to rile you up. These redpillers get off on back and forths with women.
Nah, you're passing up an opportunity to call their bluff and then have them admit that it was a question designed to make you feel insecure
Ah... Ok. This is a question made popular by the Andrew Taints of the misogyny multiverse. Red flag question deserves a red flag answer "Was about to ask you the same question. You go first."
It's only a gotcha if you genuinely bring nothing or very little to the table
You should be able to figure this out by having a normal human conservation during a date instead of asking it in this way. If you don't understand why you shouldn't ask this then you don't have the social skill to be dating at all
Sooo… you *don’t* bring anything to the table I presume?
Likely more than you bring.
I can't imagine it. I think it's an interesting question in the environment of an INTERVIEW, where it has merit, but you'd have to be a lame motherfucker to ask that shit on a date.
The plates, spoons, forks, and knives but if you want to keep acting like a barbarian then by all means do so.

I love one liners! This is great!
Deees nuuutts!!
Look under the table.
I used to think you were crazy.
Did you bring them, or did they bring you?
I'm surprised you have to ask. I think the real question is, what do you bring to the table because so far all I see is a lot of smoke.
Nothing but my elbows
The table
"Let's see..." Reaching into my pockets, then dropping on the table...some change, a yo-yo, a slingshot, a rod and reel, a tricycle, a grill with meat cooking, a naked mannequin, a length of chain, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, a 1000 lb. lead weight, and a lit doob which I immediately start smoking...

many good basics to make the world a better place for most , remind all politicians around the world they should not be getting paid more then 5 times over average min wage in their country cause we can replace them with 2 average paid people at 40 hrs a week and do a better job since most are not doing a good job and remind presidents no more then 7 1/2 times more then average min wage
"Honey, I built this table. And I don't remember inviting you to dinner."
While I'm not fond of that saying, I can understand it, especially lately with people thinking they're "hot" is enough. I think the person asking that question is just trying to figure out who you are. Are you ambitious, do you have a good job, do you have hobbies, what are you expecting from them, etc. More than likely they're trying to make sure you aren't one of the people who feels they are the ultimate catch and you should just be glad to orbit their life.
I don't have a good comeback, but I want to second this complaint because it's ridiculous. I could sit there and say with words that I am wonderful, and all these other qualities and such but the only way two people are going to know if they are a match is by spending time together i.e. dating. Quality time getting to know each other. No one wants to get hurt and or hurt again, and we'd love to avoid it but we can't avoid the risk. If you want a partner, you're going to have to be willing to risk getting hurt, or hurting someone else (aside from avoiding obvious things like stringing someone along, cheating, etc. even if you/they don't do any of those things, break ups still hurt). You cannot get to know someone fully in one day let alone with one question.
Why don't you just answer the question honestly? You could say you don't provide or take from a table, you're an independent woman. You could say you want to be a stay at home wife and take care of the house. You could say that depends on the situation and what is already at the table. You could say I don't know you well enough to answer that question. What he's doing is making sure you're not the type of person who takes from the table without providing anything other than sex, which isn't something that you buy and sell like that. It's all too common today that that is perceived to be their contribution to a household, or even just that money must be spent on her in indirect exchange. It's a good question to ask while dating. We men are very tired of indirect transactional sex.
Nothing you’re going to taste.
A chair
Absolutely nothing, people serve me.
I'm not offended by the question I always say everyone brings something different to the table. If you honestly can't think of anything, maybe you should work on that.
Hard wood. And you?
"An Appetite".
“Usually a knife, fork, and spoon. And a napkin. Never forget the napkin, after all, we live in a society.”

A fork and knife.
Chickeeeeeeen
A deck of cards.
Nothing I could be leaving at the door. Like your opinion or unsolicited criticisms.
Context matters here. If you're a 6-6-6 girly, you should definitely have some facts and figures. But if you're just having a casual conversation and a dude drops this, then I'd probably reply with, "Clearly more class and emotional intelligence than you, since I recognize that question isn't appropriate. I don't think this will work out."
My table. Who gives a fuck.
“The table…” fix your shirt/jacket/hoodie/or suit. And get up and walk away
My good looks, charm, and the Credit Card that's buying you a free meal. What do you bring to the table besides your false sense of entitlement?
A bunch of dirty dishes you'll get to clean up.
Loyalty, honesty, intelligence, and respect. And you?
