Men besides money, what do you bring to the table?

Question

What can you offer a woman in a relationship besides money? Because to me money is bare minimum for a man to have so y'all need something more...

MrOracle · Accepted Answer

It's VERY easy to say "money is a bare minimum" if you're not the one having to make it. There are so many men literally risking their health and their lives doing difficult, dangerous jobs that regularly maim and kill people, but without which, society would crumble and our quality of life would revert 100 years or more. And without men doing those jobs, the white-collar desk jobs couldn't exist. My own job is only 5-10% of this, and that's already tougher than most women are prepared to do (both my current and previous girlfriends are of the opinion that they couldn't do my job).

Money aside, I'm going to speak for myself. I maintain my home and property, inside and out. I make repairs and upgrades and rarely need to call in someone else, whether it's carpentry, plumbing, electrical, cement work, drainage, fencing, dry-wall, painting, or technology. I also maintain vehicles and do some repairs on my own.

I also handle security, in multiple ways. I've upgraded the doors on my house, have security film on my windows (it makes them incredibly difficult to break through), I have strategically-placed vegetation that is unfriendly to assaults, I have commercial-grade security cameras, an alarm system, high-end entry locks, and a dog. If I'm inside my house, you aren't getting inside without making a ton of noise, and without a SWAT team or an infantry squad. Myself, I'm a former firearms instructor and IDPA and 3-gun competitor.

In addition to those things, my girlfriend appreciates that I'm an excellent driver, that I stay incredibly calm in emergency situations, that I take charge and take action, that I can make decisions quickly, and that I'm her emotional rock. Oh, and she really loves my cooking and grilling, and my music collection and programming choices. She's given me unprompted compliments in these areas on multiple occasions.

I'm under no illusions that I'm perfect or even close. I'm below-average in looks, and only a bit above average in income. I don't care much about fashion - I'm very substance-over-style. I've got my character flaws too, like anyone else. But I am loyal, I'm a problem-solver, and I'm not afraid to work hard or get dirty. Not every woman values those things, but I've been lucky to find a few who did.

Now, can you answer the same question as a woman?

razelove · Answer

Joke's on you, I don't offer money. If women are in the mentality of wanting money, why would I pursue relationships rather than just buying prostitutes?

I thought the whole point was building a life together, not trauma dumping, withholding yourself, and making relationships a trade.

Men bring more than just money. I bring protection, guns, martial arts, ability to fix things like cars, the plumbing, installing new planking at the house, cutting all our trees, yard work, taking out our 6 dogs to play, vacations, paying the bills, disposing of gophers, taking her to her appointments, cooking, putting up all the Christmas lights for the holidays, emotional support, helping take care of her mom, bringing her laughter, understanding, a lot of wisdom from life experience and reading and listening to a lot of books, ability to maintain my emotions when she’s freaking out, kindness, generous, work in medical so I am very patient person, understanding and listening rather than just trying to solve her issues which most women want, 10 years military service so ability to adapt and overcome in a lot of things, getting things done right away if she ask me to do something, taking out the trash, logical in thinking, take care of the kids when they were minors, plan all trips even the one coming up to the east coast in a week for 12 days, takes a lot of planning, cooking, very clean, organized, a lot of women are messy especially their cars,. There’s definitely a lot more to this that’s for sure.

“What can you offer a woman in a relationship besides money? Because to me money is bare minimum for a man to have so y'all need something more...”

Yeah! Yeah I totally agree!

Look, kindness & compassion & character & honesty & responsibility & humble & warm and inviting are all traits people from all spectrums love. As it pertains to women, getting her something sweet since it reminded you of her, holding her hand, cuddling, hugging, reminding her how lucky you are to have you in your life, complimenting her outfit, and offering assistance / support whenever she needs just as she’d do for her special man are all things women want.

And to men who hate “feminism” and complain that women hold men to high standards who will no doubt be triggered by this extreme kindness / compassion towards the opposite gender…. Just be lucky you don’t have to wake up at 6 AM to plow the fields for your Feudal Lord to put food on the table for her / have to take out a mammoth with your spears in the cold tundra to get her food & shelter & a fur coat…. All you have to do is show compassion, kindness, empathy, love, intimacy, and maybe buy her a flower once in awhile that is all and frankly that is better than what your ancestors had to go through so show some heart towards your woman huh?

D_Bone_Steak · Answer

I fix all the problems she creates. She can't even manage her female to female friends. I have to... for some fucking reason... figure that shit out even though I hate women and prefer to just burn them at the steak and accuse them all of being witches. ... I'm sort of trolling rn but I'm really not.

Look... take the money part out of the equation... us guys just want someone to relax with and not a battle over some bullshit. I'm the result of trying to deal with women's bullshit... you like me now? Of course not. You all really desire the guy that will choke slam you against the wall and spit in your mouth. I was once blue pilled and now... I will spit in you mouth and on your butt hole.

motownplayer2000 · Answer

Protection, strength, can fix things, kills spiders and creepy crawling things. Literal stability in tense situations, like if there is a gas leak and you smell it, and you recognize it. But your freeze, and your man steps in and gets the kids out the house, and walks you to a safe distance in the middle of the night, with him only in boxers on a 30° night. And you have important documents that you need to get so he risk his life to get them.

But then you remember you have two dogs and a gold fish and he rescues them all before a massive explosion happens and everyone is safe but it could have been him you lost..

All of that was a hypothetical scenario. But yeah, that’s what men bring amid so many more scenarios.

Shoichiro · Answer

Sex.

What do the vast majority of women bring to the table other than liabilities?

The majority if western women need to get off the high horse when it comes to thinking they're giving men sex. Sex is beneficial for both people engaging in it (when done accordingly). Women are not the gifters of sex.

Let's play this game: We've established that both parties provide sex to each other, so that transaction cancels out. Now let's look at what's left: generally speaking, men provide money and women provide liabilities. Is it better to provide money or to provide liabilities?

An indepth physically, emotionally, financially supportive life long personally loyal engagement that provides a safe and consistent platform from which to build, grow and maintain our intertwined lives.

The kind that she appreciate more as she ages and realises those 'life long' friends she once had are busy with their own lives, not hers, and that she's not immortal after all.

And just maybe reflects that he's still here, just as he was yesterday, just as he says he will be tomorrow and forever more. Working hard to provide what she needs, or family need, and that she's come to rely on in a world that is becoming more and more insane.

Yeah, to my table I will bring my dog.

This is a question you shall ask yourself, for your own shake.

I value good women. I see them as my cheerleaders, and my greatest allies. No surprise they feel well around me.

If I said all women are whores, probably what I would get on the table would be an infected pussy with larvae and pimples.

ExplayerE · Answer

Way more than what women are capable to bring to the table. Reason? Simple: biology. Men are stronger, faster, more intelligent, more courageous, tougher, etc. And do not suffer from defects like you women do e. g. monthly menstruations, pregnancy, menopause, quadrillion autoimmune diseases, etc. That is why women owe men way more than the other way round for not only being born by men, but also live in this world created by men and being provided, protected, fed, etc.
