What does that question even mean? Especially considering every man and woman is looking for something different.
Is it just a way of shading/being rude to someone unnecessarily?

It's a rather blunt way to approach the question, but there's nothing rude about the underlying point he's trying to raise by asking it.
Basically, when a man asks you a question like that, he's trying to figure out the benefit you will confer to his life through the relationship. AND YOU SHOULD BE ASKING THE EXACT SAME QUESTION ABOUT HIM.
Everyone looks for different things, but it's not really that different. Men, in general, are going to want to date/marry a woman who is emotionally supportive, is trustworthy, somone who respects him, someone who isn't going to gossip about him, someone who has the social skills to establish relationships with other families in the community, someone who helps make his life a little easier by cooking from time to time, or making sure he has clean clothes to wear for work tomorrow.
Women are generally going to be looking for a guy who can keep his cool in tense situations, someone who can economically provide, someone who will help with cooking/cleaning, someone who respects her wishes, someone who can emotionally support her.
A lot of people, modern women especially, have absolutely no clue what the people they're trying to attract actually want.
This question specifically comes up to very shitty women (super high body counts, overweight, face full of fake up etc) who make a laundry list of demands and expectations such as "I want a man who will provide for me, pay for me, protect me, take me on vacations, needs to have 100k+ year in income, be 6ft+ tall, need to treat me like this and like that" because traditionally women making requests like that actually brought their fair share.
They were feminine, they could cook, clean, they wanted to be mothers and love and cherish their man, wanted to raise a family etc. So when that question is asked THAT is the answer people are looking for.
But this guy actually makes fun of me for being traditional. He insults women who are homebody’s. He dismisses the idea of patriarchy. I was not even trying to get with him. I simply made a statement that “there are no more traditional men for traditional women.” I never said I want a rich man - I don’t even want one. I simply want a good man whom I am attracted to.
I get the feeling this guy in particular is looking for a sugar mama or something like that. It’s a feminine question in response to “I want a male chauvinist.” I mean obviously I am more than happy to be submissive and stay at home (which I already do) if I want a husband who is a chauvi. His asking that was extremely uncalled for.
To be fair to that guy there is no patriarchy in the US hasn't been for several decades. Without really knowing the full context I can't really guess at his motives for saying something like that. At a guess and presuming you are being honest in what you said and how he responded it sounds a lot like the feminist mindset of repeating buzzwords they read or watched in a video without truly understanding the term or even why the term is used
That's a very old business figure of speech for "what do you have to offer?"
It means he's a red pill man and you should stay far away from him
But there are no blue pilled men left in 2024. I think social media has pretty thoroughly disabused young men of any delusions they may have had about women and dating. All you've got left are Fuck Boys and Red Pills. I suppose at least the Red Pilled guys are honest.
Its chosing between a beautiful illusion or an ugly truth
If you think men are too difficult you are not gonna last dating women.
Have you tried dating one? Whole different ballgame
There is nothing wrong with a guy expecting women to put into the relationship, men are not just here to suit you women.

means he's insecure AF... and he's not really into you
Especially considering I was not even talking to him for a relationship it was just a general conversation about looking for prospects and I said I wanted a male chauvinist/traditional man. That definitely did not warrant this kind of insult so I was confused and taken aback. I simply said “it’s none of your concern because I am not trying to marry you anyway.”
It means what do you offer in the relationship. Both sides need to do something for the relationship. Lots of times this is said the guy has more money and wants to know what you will do for him. Sex and looks, as some girls definitely not all think is all they need to do, are not enough, that will never keep a relationship going.
He is asking you to defend why he should consider dating you. A good counter is to say, "We are still at the place where I am STILL considering if I want to date YOU." Asking such questions unwisely encourages people to change into something they feel the other person wants. The change is only temporary at best.
My advice, be yourself at all times. If the other person does not like you... Bye! Don't get all butt hurt if they do the same.
It literally means : your perceived or presented value of yourself doesn't align with his... Yet. So in retrospect , you are obligated to clarify your value to him as its a question of your worth towards his.
First of all... it's not rude to align yourself with another. Secondly it's very nessasry. Value along with good intentions , clarity and straight up honesty is what a person such as myself bring to the table. Without that persons speaking value , then there's no point in continuing a relation at that level anylonger.
Just as you have expectations from the men you would date they have expectations of you. You likely want a man who is tall, charming, handsome, has money, has status, etc and men want a woman who is fit, feminine, submissive, doesn't have kids, and isn't a hoe. Being able and willing to cook and clean also helps.
Okay so everything of how you described a woman should be is how I am. I stay at home I have never drank in my life, I don’t smoke, I have never been to a club or party and I don’t go to hookah lounges. I have very few traditional friends and my social media account is under 30 people and private (literally all female except a couple of family males).
I don’t expect a rich husband just a loyal masculine husband who is doing okay for himself. I am not greedy. I don’t ask for a lot. I simply said “there are no more tradional men left for traditional women” and he was like “what do you bring to the table?” Which is odd because for a male chauvinist all the things I offer is more than what most expect.
Unless he is a modern feminist man who actually wants a career woman. I want to be a homemaker and not go out unnecessarily.
Sounds like you just answered the question then. If you tell him what you just told me that should be a good enough answer unless he is one of those male feminists but you probably don't want those type of guys.
He wants to know if you're worth the investment of his time and effort to court. Honestly, I see much of that to be an error on the part of whomever asks that. Wouldn't time spent with that person show you what that is or at least gives an idea of what that is?
Weird.
It can be a rude question but also a very smart question. Especially if one of the two has a lot of expectations of the other person. (like he must be 5.10" tall, earn at least 80K a year, have 4 3-piece suits etc) So he just wants to know what to expect from you and if you are compatible. Or it is to be rude or downlooking. No idea.
But if the two of you werent even talking for a relationship. Its probably the second one.
It's the same question as when you're interviewed for a job and the employer says "why should I hire you and not someone else", except that the answers you give will likely involve more than just a skill set. I will say this; when most men ask that, they're looking for something quite different than when most women ask that.
It mean women lot of have those ridiculas expectations how much money man should earn, how tall he should be, how he should be treating her. And when man do ALL that, what he get for return? - That is the question he asks. Most cases man gets NOTHING from her he would not get from anyone else. In short woman become extra burden for him.
Generally it means he wants to know what you bring to the table beyond sex and physical attraction. If you see it as an insult instead then perhaps it hit a nerve?
It means it's time for you to exit the situation.
No long story short he's asking what else you have to offer as a person that's not your twat, cause some women enter relationships believing their pussy is the only requirement.
Well that's true but either ways maybe he took what you were seeking differently or something like that
Shading or being rude? Huh? So you don't have things you want in man you date? Are guys not allowed to have preferences?
Same as a job interview. What makes you special. If you haven't made it obvious by now then here's your opportunity to tell me.
It means you have to say myself, walk away and never see him again
There is nothing wrong with a man expecting a woman to put something into the relationship, us men are not here just to suit you women. Snowflake feminist nonsense.
probably thinks he won't gain anything from you in a relationship.
It means he wants to know what you offer him in a relationship. Don't you want to know the same about him?
Means Sarah what would you bring to a relationship.
What is your go to food item for a get together? Mine is a chocolate peanut butter pie.
Women have a long ass list of what they want from a man so he's asking what you bring to the table to demand that
