Grandma told me to only buy cast iron cookware ‘as a precaution’. LOL we know she meant keep that pan on your hip.

AyemHerself · 2021-09-29T02:17:25+00:00

It's a neg. The point is to prompt you into rattling off your resume in hopes of impressing him. It's really the most blatant neg you'll see.

If a guy really thought you had nothing to offer, he wouldn't be talking to you.

MiaNaim · 2021-09-29T03:29:17+00:00

I've only ever been asked this by a man who was entirely too damn old for me. He saw it as a way of 'humbling young girls who only bring their youth and looks.' I laughed so hard at him and reminded him that he lied about his age to get me to go out with him. (This guy was 2 years older than my mom and his daughters were all older than me.) I said I left something in my car and drove off. If men have nothing else they have audacity.

Someone asked me that question once and I was like... what is the right answer to that question? Insert ??? face.

Uh uh uh. Hemming and hawing followed by the forward lean and the fingers on his chin.

MY special talent. OptionalCookie: will instantly make a date awkward by calling you out on your bullshit.

I just said I had to do something else not here and I left.

Grannies know the real truth.

xfelugirlx · 2021-09-28T16:33:34+00:00

Granny knows

TieDieEye · 2021-09-28T17:12:06+00:00

I've never been asked this but if I was it would probably be an insta-block.

This is such an unattractive thing to say. Like just say you're looking for a sugar daddy and stop dating women because that's what you sound like jfc.

cml678701 · 2021-09-28T16:35:52+00:00

i’ve never understood why they would ask that, anyway. Clearly, if they asked you out, they have decided you’re worth it. They should be trying to show what they bring to the table, so you will give them a chance. I guess things are different in these 50/50 times, though. A man might as well just go on a date with any woman he meets if it isn’t costing him anything.

Confused_One_ · 2021-09-28T16:40:07+00:00

This is why I’ve always been slightly envious of people with grannies/grandmas in their lives, they are a wealth of knowledge!

katiekat0214 · 2021-09-28T16:59:43+00:00

If they can't see immediately what I bring, and it's more like a job interview, I'm happy to get my food to go, go back home, cuddle with my kitties and watch TV. Dates should never be interviews. Asking what I bring... what? for him to use? exploit? manipulate? big no thanks. I can't even muster the energy to ask that question back, it seems so user-ish.

Spittens · 2021-09-28T20:21:59+00:00

Scrote: "So what do you bring to the table?"

Me: "I built the damn table as well as the house around it (literally, woodworking is one of my hobbies), sooo the real question is what makes you worthy of a seat at it?"

Then block and delete.

asianinindia · 2021-09-28T16:46:47+00:00

Grannies are always right.

2021-09-28T22:42:18+00:00

When someone asks that it instantly kills any potential attraction, emotion, warmth, humanity- it reduces the date to a transactional calculation or something akin to a job interview but it's exactly an insight into an average man's thinking. Scrote, you are not the prize/employer here, I'm not here to enumerate all my qualities and try to convince you of my utility 👋

Can’t ignore advice from a granny! They’ve been dealing with scrotes for a long, long time

cookiemonstergirls · 2021-09-28T23:46:18+00:00

Any guy who ever has the audacity to ask what you bring to the table is rude and entitled af. What does he bring to the table? Besides a terrible attitude, over inflated ego, and average/ bellow average looks? I cannot believe some women put up with that BS. I would never speak to a guy again if he said that.

Villanelloh · 2021-09-28T22:20:40+00:00

Granny speaks the truth.

oneheadlight312 · 2021-09-28T18:11:41+00:00

Damn. 🔥🔥 Granny is on fire!

brylm92 · 2021-09-29T01:37:14+00:00

What if we answer by telling him the many ways we are wonderful and would greatly improve his life and then block 🤔

WhoopassDiet · 2021-09-28T21:02:48+00:00

Uhm, no. Their job isn't maintenance. I don't require anyone to maintain me. It we're going to stretch the analogy, I'm looking for a nice chair to compliment the table, which also function by itself.

FDS-GFY · 2021-09-29T15:53:17+00:00

Grannies are fucking smart. I miss mine.

invenereveritas · 2021-09-29T23:55:48+00:00

a bald fat 35 year old man with a tiny pickle asked me this.... I couldn't believe it

Guyincognito9876 · 2021-09-30T03:16:02+00:00

What am I bringing to the table? Another fucking table.
