I’m very disappointed in people today.
I have things I could say. I have questions about the photo 😂
I have some reprimands to toss about
but I will not. I don’t have the energy to keep up with these “wars.”
I will say the success of mankind was a group effort of men. A man alone would fail.
This society brought before us is still flawed and leaves “every man for himself.”
It provided him with more advantages and extra time practicing with hands on in these fields, meanwhile he had physical advantage.
Women came to the arenas later after they rebelled against any form of captivity and being defined only sexually.
We all still have much more to go.
They are underdeveloped and like adult children who feel they need men and get all out of hand emotionally when arguments arise. It’s also, in part, due to the bio-chemical nature of her.
We can be equals in the societal realm, but in the physical Antony realm it would take the help of supplements and steroid intervention to try and increase to the range of men in physical ability and stamina.
Its very possible society and science will push form more bionic people with the inclusion of metaverse and such.
This would naturally mean nothing is dependent on human tissue and muscle mass, but on electronics and electrical energy. ⚡️
Women haven’t contributed a lot in the past due to the odds of the history standpoints.
With more advancement and even in today- women can reverse or start anew and contribute to the future.
Especially now with their inclusion in society.
Men wouldn’t have gotten today if it weren’t for their union and they wouldn’t have gotten to this point if it weren’t for the hetero females who bore them back in the day,
so I guess both genders will live with a sort of distaste-
women for being weakest of the two species
and men for being borne from them.
Now we can move on and so forth.
Just as America was advanced from other countries to hands on industrialization, so were men, advanced in society, compared to the women.
Women are like Japan and Dubai.
They are coming and advancing no longer left in the dark ages, and soon gender wars will cease.
Everyone who partook in this barbaric primitive child play of points fingers will be forgotten.
People can be asexual or gender neutral. Either gender can bear and contribute to the welfare of their country.
Those who degrade anyone just for the mere want, to feel empowered will be seen in my eyes as, immature.
I won’t say terrible things-
I speak the truth.
There is no reason for any man or woman to share distaste or unsatisfactory regards to the other gender.
There are some topics that I only ever see on this board. Maybe that is bc they are happening and I just miss them and that is the value of this board, or, maybe it is bc there are one or two people here hung up on an idea or a way of wording things. "What do women bring to the table" is one of them, I am 25 and I have never heard that phrase about women and relationships except here. I am not sure, but I feel like the people mainly asking it (not Coach) are angry or bitter about something like feel women aren't giving them a fair chance in dating and they want to turn the tables. I might be wrong tho. I don't think it is a question that will usually get a useful response, if somebody asked me that question, I'd probably be like "uh, nothing, nice to see you" and move on. Unless maybe we were flirting and having drinks and he was smiling when he said it that might be different. JMO!
I will get back to asking what everyone's favorite color is shortly lol
WHY WOULD YOU ASK US THAT?
LOL LOL LOL
I found my wife before internet apps. Back then we just bumped into people in our social circle and if we clicked even a little we dated for fun really. She clicked with me but she didn’t care for me but that didn’t stop me, it was a challenge actually.
Today it seems very criteria based like reviewing résumé’s/CVs. It seems dry, full of analytical critique and exhausting for both sexes. I had potential (for success) and I know my now wife’s friends told her that. We just kept dating even though I had nothing and neither did she and even though I moved away and we dated long distance for quite a while. It worked out great for us as we have had a great life, kids and she picked a winner that gave her everything without complex criteria although I think (many not nearly all) women have a sense for potential.
But many women choose poorly looking at financials mainly, or compliments and fun mainly, or other nonsense but not a truly well balanced view mixed with an understanding that it may not work out financially but if it doesn’t they have a good partner in other ways.
I think a combination of things are responsible for the current dating mess that I see through people I know. Internet dating is surely a key one as it has reduced dating to Amazon. com like shopping sans the reviews. For women it has inundated them with choices, many of which are false choices as sex if the only goal for many men. It also inflates the woman’s ego and drives up her criteria not realizing the top tier of men who will gladly accept sex have many options as well and won’t be choosing her for a strong longterm relationship. The remaining bunch of guys gladly or with resentment take the table scraps or become incels. In the end, not many seem to find happiness.
Such a low birth rate due to the many factors affecting mating today will have the Darwinian effect of culling out bad traits. Those traits may fall into the area of sexual tastes, mate selection instincts, anything that is adverse to continuing the species through offspring. It’s hard to watch but the species will be stronger once this social change culls out those who don’t have traits for creating new healthy generations.
Most women don’t because most women aren’t the problem. It’s feminists and even the extreme of ultra traditionalists as well as women who want best or both worlds.
One sided women who are very narcissistic and think they’re a little princesses. Daddy and mommy never told her no.
She feels entitled. She wants a man to provide and do everything for her but she has nothing to offer in return really.
Some might offer a little bit. But it’s not near as much as what she expects a man to have to put in.

For the women that do get triggered, it seems almost defensive in nature but it can also depend on how they were asked.
That and most just simply say I am the table lol
Asking somebody "what do you bring to the table" is pretty weird in the context of a relationship in my opinion. Like if you don't know what they "bring to the table" why are you even talking w them? And asking the question kind of implies that you think the answer it they don't bring anything to the table. I have never asked a guy "what do you bring to the table" I either know or I don't, and I would be confused (not in a good way) if a guy asked me that question, which by the way nobody ever has. JMO!
Just go on any dating app and read the women's profiles.
Most of them say "I want this, this and this etc." and they list zero about what they have to offer except to say that they want a real man who has his life together. If you read the men's profiles most are the opposite. They list what they have to offer in a relationship and she just lists what she wants.
It shows how desperate some guys are for pussy that they are desperately trying to get into relationships with women who are basically just a drain on him if you look at it from an outsider's perspective.
Women know this and it's a touchy issue.
Many guys are desperate that is for damn sure.
The only women who get triggered are women who have nothing to offer... Other than that look at the comment section of what men think we "bring to the table" or what they think, we think "we bring to the table"... it pretty funny actually...
It's always funny to see. Brings out the best in us in the comments Ha
Another cliché and obvious question.
They get mad because they don't bring anything to the table, have shitty majors like psychology or philosophy, or survive using exhibitionism.
I study an elite career in a good university and I would never marry a woman who has a lower salary than mine, since I am not going to support any woman.
This question is right up your alley hating women and all lol Enjoy
even if she is as much or as high as you you'll still be supporting her for the fact that she is gonna make you pay all the living utilities while she spends all of hers on favorite perfumes, beauty products, dresses, when going out drinking with her friends and the list goes on
He is definitely a single Pringle 🤣🤣🤣
I didn't know they did. The only time I've ever seen this question asked is broadly on the internet. In real life with a real person, I can't imagine anyone (especially a guy who asked me out in the first place) asking this.
Should I report you for trolling? Lol
LOL that would be weird if some dude said hey you want to try the margaritas here? Oh by the way what do you bring to the table? Ha
haven't we all.
@coachTanthony - Why do men run away like whipped dogs when they're asked what they can bring to the table? Now that's the question, they cry like babies about not being able to find a decent woman but... they scared of life.
As for why do women get triggered. Sluts, whores, prositute wannabes, etc. get triggered
Decent women don't because they know what they bring to the table. Respect, etc. Problem is in today's society less & less men know what a decent woman is.
Why don't you ask that question?
Do people seriously ask each other that?
If anyone would ask me that, I'd be confused asf. Dating is where you find out if you're compatible with each other & what you bring out in each other, which is why I'm on the date, to figure that out.
What to people that "have something to bring to the table" answer to that question? What would you reply to it? I don't even know if I bring anything to the table, is it about finances? Material possessions? Status?
@dovendyret Yes, it’s one of those “women don’t do anything to contribute financially to relationships, they just take take take from men” questions! One guy already answered “even if they work, they expect us to pay all the bills & expenses, while spend all of their money on clothes, shoes, perfume etc…” This is so unbelievably insulting to all women!
@dovendyret It's a metaphor for what do you bring to a relationship.
@CrazyGirl2 and you didn't have to block me I was going to agree with you. You made some good points but okay.
Says the coward who BLOCKED b/c because I disagreed with his premise and made a fair point
@CrazyGirl2 I never blocked you. I just typed out a big ol paragraph and it said you blocked me.
No I did not! I despite blocking people. It allows them to say what the wants about you and you can’t see it, you just see “posted my someone you blocked or who blocked you” all they do is spell your screen name without the “@“
*despise*
@CrazyGirl2 Look. I have no reason to lie. You were blocked like 5 minutes ago and now you're not. I don't block people on here ever so it wasn't me. Anyway my question to you was serious because I get people answering a lot with "not all" so I am trying to get fewer of those so if the question was laid out like this "Why do some women get triggered when they are asked what they bring to the table? You certainly wouldn't respond to that with "not all" would you? And I was asking you because you gave a good answer to the question sorry maybe I should of explained before asking.
I've seriously never been asked that either, would never ask anyone the question and I'd have no idea how to answer it. Is it like at a job interview where I'm supposed to address my good qualities & skills and at the same time be humble?
May I ask what you answer to that question?
@coachTanthony - lol forgot the tag. I'm really not good at this site, slowly learning.
No, obviously not. To be clear my objection to the exclusion of “some” or “a certain kind of” or any qualifier you could think of was because I KNOW THERE ARE GOLD DIGGERS! I can’t stand them, they are despicable humans, are usually vapid, have no skills, take advantage of men, and they just skate by on their looks, treat men bad, and give us ALL a bad name! I would bet that half the Incel community are there because they are not very good socially with women but could learn in time, but they SO think that ALL women are just like the Gold Digging Whores they see on-line, that they just give up! Anyone, and I mean ANYONE who actually knows me, knows that I defend men at every turn! I love men, and I KNOW that family courts fuck men, the wage gap is a myth because it averaged lifetime wages of men and women, saw women earned less, and assumed sexism was the cause. It never looked at the career choices women make. It too a male doctor and a female nurse, averaged their lifetime income, and said “the pay difference is b/c of sexism! Men get screwed in prison sentences, just look at men who have sex w/underage girls, and omen who do the same w/underage boys! Men bleed and die to protect MY freedoms, yes I know some women do too, but only b/c they lowered the fitness and strength standards TO get more women in b/c of quotas. And quotas, jobs set aside for only women mean hard working men loos out on jobs like firefighting and police work b/c women who are less qualified will me handed those jobs! So yes, when I see “why do women” I reply “not all do” BUT… I also do the same when women write “Why are men such…” and I defend the good men, who are the majority. You didn’t know me, and you assumed that I was “one of those” women, and I believed that to be unfair. But I did NOT block you. I now believe you didn’t block me, and think there is something wrong with GaG. (The site crashed yesterday as well). Okay that’s my 2 cents. Take it for what you will.
@CrazyGirl2 Thanks makes sense. Appreciate ya.
@dovendyret Well the question itself is not a very good one. I asked it because I am a content creator all over the internet and ask things that are currently in the public eye. The meaning behind the question if someone asked me would be what do I bring to the relationship? Do I have a car, a house a good job, a good 401k, do I want kids etc. It's really just a compatibility question.
In a relationship if someone would ask me that, I would guess they are not INTO me but try to get something FROM me. So I would get 'triggered' in a way of WTF does he want from me if not me as a person?
Why does someone need to bring something into a relationship beside beeing themselves? Do I understand relationships wrong? I thought you are supposed to be with someone you like and love and not trying to find a buisness partner.
Agreed. I would feel like they are using me, and also it’s generally just a lack of manners.
Pretty sure men will get triggered when asked that as well. It's just a human kneejerk reaction to a question that seems like it's asking to be convinced when really the asker already has their opinion and it won't change.
Most men know what they bring. If a man gets triggered he needs to accomplish a few more things in life.
Cuz those women know they have nothing to offer , truth hurts , they were raised thinking they were supposed To be taken care of like a princess and that a man is supposed to do we he has to do to take care of her and work his ass off to provide for her without her having to lift a finger , A relationship needs to be a team not one sided , if she is a stay at home wife her responsibilities are taking care of the home and the kids while her husband is at work , when he comes home from work he should jump in and contribute to other other things that need to be done around the house and help with the kids not just plop his ass down and do nothing , if she works then it’s both their responsibility to take care of the house and kids , all in all you should work as a team not against each other , It’s ok to have a relaxing day but you should never hold your partner accountable for not doing something unless they don’t do nothing
I think it's the directness of the question that's the issue. I've no qualms with guys asking lots of probing questions to assess compatibility but I don't want to sell myself answering a single question.
I'm willing to put feet in the air, I won't burn the dinner, and you won't be embarrassed to be seen with me. I think that covers 90% of what guys want.
Because they know that they don't bring nearly as much value to a relationship as most men do. It makes them angry.
Try this, create two dating profiles the same, except on one have $38,000 for your income (the average income in the USA) and on the other, put $70,000 for income and see how much more interest you get. Women very much do want to know what a man has to 9ffer/bring, and that is why on a date one of the very first things most women ask is what you do for a living. Not hobbies, interests, values/morals, not if you want to raise a family, etc. It is almost always what you do for a living (how much money you make).
It forces them to recognize that they’re not as oppressed as they want us to believe. Despite women’s liberation and the sexual revolution, ours is still a society that generally requires men to meet women’s expectations; not the other way around. Rather than changing who they are and how they behave to meet our standards, they tell us our standards are wrong, and that we’re “toxic” for applying them. They tell us what we SHOULD value about them so that they have inherent value without having to do or be anything special.
On some level, they know that’s selfish and hypocritical. That question tells them that the asker knows what they know. All scammers get testy when the jig is up.
People in general, both males and females, generally don't like crashing into the truth head on if that truth in any way is to their disadvantage, or makes them look bad. The answer is rather obvious; they get triggered because they have nothing at all to "bring to the table", and they damn well know it.
The answer to this is pretty obvious it's just that in today's society people are uncomfortable saying unflattering truths about women. Women get triggered because deep down everyone knows there value us their sexuality. Taking sex off the table would instantly lower a women's value, however woman want to believe they are valued for more so when you ask them what they bring to the table and they can't name sex, they default to an emotional response. What's understood doesn't need to be said, and it's understood that women's primary agency is beauty and their value is sex.
It's just a question. It doesn't really reveal much. Sure, if you can answer it truthfully then it can help, but there's no reliable way to know without getting to know someone. Guys could give a better answer to this question because it's more about what they do and what all they have achieved. I don't care that much about what women do, although it's good you can earn money. It's more about who you are as a person when it comes to what I'm looking for. That means it would take me more time to answer the question. Still, if women really think about the question and reflect ahead of time then you won't be so caught off guard and offended because you will have an answer.
Because it's a dumb question.
It's a relationship, not a business transaction.
It's not some presentation where i have to explain my worth or potential value to someone.
I'd never ask a man that.
Date and get to know each other.
.. But I look at who the person actually is instead of what they can "bring" to me.
I don’t see myself as a feminist and I feel like I’m pretty fair, but if someone said that it would piss me off. Not because I think girls bring more but because I can’t fathom the stupidity you must have to question what girls bring to the table. It’s arrogant and selfish.
Why? Girls ask guys what they can do for them all the time. Guys are expected to do a lot of things for a girl. Friends ask other friends, what they offer in a friendship. A friendship based on selfishness and anger is not a friendship at all
I would tell my girlfriend what I would bring to the table when we first meet. Because that would show my love for her. Its arrogant and selfish to not bring anything to your significant other and tell them what you would do for them. there's a lot of things that have to be considered for something to work out. Getting triggered is unnecessary. Its not an attack. Its a question. Relatoinships have a high fail rate, look at marriages. Men want to be smart.
For those who do, part of society has convinced them that all they need to do is look passable in order to be treated like a princess. Asking for anything beyond that is considered an insult.
I hope I get more responses. Right now I don't know if the disagree is an actual disagree or just one of the stalkers.
If you see all the comments getting voted down then it's probably my psychologically damaged fan girl showing her daily love.
It’s a question designed to put someone on the defensive, much like it would feel if guys are asked.
Most men know. We are born knowing almost.
Babies are born knowing how to breathe. Humans gain knowledge via nurture. So I am not sure what you mean by men knowing
It's biological much like wanting to spread our seed. We are born to grow up to provide, protect and lead the woman we are with. We do this by growing up with fathers who role model this behavior. Women on the other hand used to learn how to cook, take care of the house and kids etc that has changed but most men are still taught the same.
Society always changes. As you said it’s about how kids are taught. Boys are being taught to cook and girls are being taught STEM. So while some biological factors play into it I’d say that not all males are taught traditional roles.
You would have to be an idiot to think every male on the planet is all taught the same thing of anything. LOL Why do people say that? I get this a lot in my comments that NOT ALL men or NOT ALL women do this or that as if the asker believes this to be true. It really baffles me.
Because you said that “most men are still taught the same”. And in my reply I said things are changing and my point was most men are not being taught the same
LOL okay thanks for the comments.
You are welcome, hope you feel less baffled.
Hopefully you will change the grammar next time so other's aren't as baffled as me.
Ha ha I can’t promise that. I am a flawed human with weaknesses
I know just giving you shit. I just see it so much I get triggered by it lol
I’m sure you understand some of the reasons why people get triggered. Ty for letting me know
We all do. Got to give some grace now and then shit happens.
Men get triggered more🤔 Feminine energy is literally about flow, masculinity is about action. These men are just crybabies looking for a momma to raise them.
I mean I cannot disagree. A lot of men out here are bitching and moaning.
Part of me wants to answer this by drawing light on stereotypes. Women have been pigeon holed their whole lives to think as women we serve men aka take care of the house and kids. We are branching out of that now, but women always fear those traditional expectations will be cast upon them going forward. Maybe that helps, I don't know.
Because other than sex they bring nothing to the table and don't want to admit that.
They bring their degree, cats, debt, masculinity etc etc they do bring something we just don't want it.
Because most of them just bring ran through mediocre hot dog down a hallway honestly your hand would be better poon
It's been a minute since I heard the word "poon" lol
they do? I think that strictly depends on how they’re asked, and many times it is a dumbfounded tone because it is dudes with nothing to offer, asking them, what they have to offer… lol
It's basically that they refuse to believe that they bring nothing to the table. Not all women are like this, but the ones that get triggered definitely are.
For the same reason men do. I know, I asked that question once on here.
You did? Link it in the comments.
Like all questions it depends on how it is asked.
what do you bring to the table - sounds like you’re in a job interview
What characteristics do you have that would make you a good partner or a great match for me - slightly more appropriate in the dating context
im more for finding out about a man through his actions anyway though because anyone can lie or make up elaborate stories when faced with a direct question
I don't know. But if SHE is at the table, I'm leaving!
LOL why you leaving?
LOOK at that face! YOU wanna face that when you wake-up in the morning?
Ha Ha Ha
Because his eyes work and he can clearly see it’s lasagna tonight.
Probably because the ones that get triggered know deep down they don't bring anything to the table. I'm a quality guy. And all I ask from my partner is effort. I don't care what she has, only what she's willing to give.
Not all women do! As for why the women that DO get triggered, I’m not sure, perhaps because it sounds more like a business negation rather than a date-night question?
Not all women do? Why do you feel the need to say that? Serious question?
Because it’s the truth, and I happen to believe that objective reality and truth are very important. If a woman asked “Why do men hate women so much”, and you read that, but knowing you don’t hate women at all, you love women, you want the best for women, and all the men you know feel the same way, would you point that out, or would you just write a guess as to why you and all your male friends MIGHT hate women after-all, even though you don’t? Because, I know if I was asked that question I would ask “in what context” Because that’s important. If you mean financially (which I believe the OP did), well that would be ridiculous, because any man in a position to ask me that question would already know that due to inherited wealth, I’m financially independent, I already own my own house, and my degree will give me a six figure income, so I’m not the least insecure about what I bring to the table. Also, I personally don’t know any woman who would be triggered by that question. I'm sure some women may, but since I don’t know them I can’t answer for them. I can only answer for myself and those I know personally.
I wouldn’t assume the asker is saying all men hate women therefore would never justify by saying… but not all …I imagine it’s assumed. Imagine someone saying women love the color red. Should they say women love the color red but not all? Imagine a world where people would have to add that to the ending of their question or statement…men love fast cars not all do lol ust saying
Why do you troll me like that? That actually is a serious question? I have done you the kindness of just avoiding your questions, because I don’t want to spend my free time arguing with people who argue front place of bad faith. I even told my roommate “watch, he’ll come back with some reason why I'm wrong to think what I do, or believe what I believe, or say what I say, and it will be the the most picayune thing”. She insisted that since you wrote serious question, you were sincere, so at least you won me $5 tonight, thanks! I’ll but myself a drink and toast to your best wishes. by the way if someone asked me “why do women like the color red” I would answer “Not all women do”! That is a perfectly valid answer to an all-inclusive or all-exclusive question or statement. The bathrooms read MEN and WOMEN, they don’t NEED to write ALL MEN, or ALL WOMEN, because in the absence of a modifier a question, statement, or exclamation including the words men or women indicates ALL. I’m sure there may be some exceptions, but that’s why its best to avoid all inclusive or all exclusive questions. Seriously. Though, if you don’t like my answers why not just ignore them? There’s no need for either of us to cowardly block eachother, we’re both adults I am sure we can behave like adults.
Take care, Laura.
*Oops, I Meant, I will do you the kindness of avoiding your questions*
I've never asked that, to anybody... not sure why anybody would
you should always have something in mind we men also get asked that too!
it's called being prepared for the meeting.
I don't think I'd get triggered, just kind of confused as to why it was asked, since it is something that should be discovered over time, not through a question, like we're having a job interview or something.
If I’m being honest, I have literally nothing to offer. It’s why I wouldn’t make a good partner.
The only people who get triggered when they are asked what they bring to the table are people who bring nothing to the table.
Because it suggests a really arrogant guy who thinks he has the right to dictate dating terms to girls
girls ask us guys what we got and a lot they have a big long 10 list of things they NEED from the guy and say he ain't shit and he's all that if he doesn't have those ten things or do those ten things for her. a guy wants 1 or 2 things from a girl, basic relationship expectations, he gets called arrogant or whatever.
In the pic she is an older women who no longer has youth to bring. Of course she is going get mad at being reminded she has nothing to bring except bad temper.
Once upon a time they used to bring processed prepared food which was made of wheat , barely etc.
Since we already have a table she brings the table cloth/cover 🙃.
There is a deeper meaning 😇
The only thing a woman needs to bring to the table is beer and sandwiches.
Um, I don't think that's a woman.
I don't know people will be people and the only ones I've ever seen asked this question are usually feminists and well we already how they react to stuff.
I think some women enjoy being triggered. I would find that question a tad too blunt myself and likely walk away. It just sounds arrogant.
Lol cause to the ones who get triggered they know it's not a damn THING 🤣 😂
Because the answer is usually nothing of particular interest.
If nothing else at least bring s good attitude and eagerness to please. Even that seems to be woefully rare nowadays.
Because you are asking them to quantify what their partner doesn't.
When you live a life of privilege, being treated fairly feels oppressive,
Because I made her carry in all the grocery bags in one trip! Lol really women are never satisfied. It serves as an awesome influence, but sometimes a crazy indulgence.
Because deep down they know that sex and youth are all they really have. Once they have parties away their youth, sex is all that's left, which is not enough to keep a man of any value.
Some of them only get triggered when they have nothing to have.
The karen attitude comes out of them when you ask them that question.
Because a lot know deep down that sex is all they really have to offer. But much is not expected from women anyway
I bring the table ✌️
You bringing some chairs too? lol
Hahaha
What women?
That pics been in more right wing memes than Obummer.
Maybe she should ask for compensation.
Just realized I’m gonna have to drill a hole in the back of all of my motorcycle helmets now.
Truth. (To reply to the correct question)
Basically sex is mostly what they can offer and someone that cares for you on an emotional level, men usually do everything else on their own
Usually because they know they don’t bring anything
Feeling like they being unmined.
the same reason men do
Shouldn't need to ask imho,
