What do you bring to the table?

msssst · 2021-10-28T08:58:38+00:00

Before FDS I would take the train to my partners home after work (when I’d already worked a 10hr day in a very stressful job) and go with him grocery shopping as he had no food at home, buy groceries, pay for the groceries and cook for him. He then “washed up” by putting the dishes in the dishwasher.

For much of my twenties I was single and looking back it was a blessing as I would have been a house elf / maid / bank much like above.

Dating in your twenties is so dangerous for this reason as you are so easily taken advantage of by society / men.

It’s such a neg-like tactic. The only men who ask this question are broke or cheap, and looking to exploit you by making you feel you aren’t doing enough to sit at “his” table.

If anyone ever gets this in real life, remember men know what they’re doing. Don’t paragraph at them (but in this instance I feel this queen is reminding us rather than explaining to them).

God the next time someone asks me this on a date I'mma just whip my phone out and say oh, I brought my phone. And then call a ride home/have a pretend excuse call and leave.

The kind of men that ask this question bring only their audacity to the table.

Brilliant.

Shes great, her whole page is is full of beautifully articulated logic and truth.

This woman just summed up all the answers to that question. I always thought it was such a lv insidious question.

Whatever happened to keeping things light and fun, making sure your date is feeling comfortable, using tact, and showing respect. "What do you bring to the table?" is an interrogation question where the person asking has the self-entitlement to even ask. I think I would outright say "I don't answer questions like that".

I love this

Y’all remember that loser who literally had a bed sheet taped to his window in his dirty poorly decorated bedroom (no doubt in his mamas home) while insulting us and asking what we brought to the table? This made me think of that. He is exactly the type of loser this woman is describing….expecting the world but contributing the bare minimum and thinking that is enough while calling himself a king.

We all need to move on from this question.
