Here's the opinion you wont see anywhere on the internet . .. and you are hearing it for the first time
Sit tight !!


The phrase what are you brining to the table .. has grossly been misunderstood, some men that even ask the question don't even know why they are asking the question, while on the other hand some women fly into a fit of rage or keep dodging the question, why they are angry they don't even know, its just a psychological impulse,

first of all it is not mandatory for the lady to actually bring finance into the mix but it helps so that should not be the centre of the question, so the men asking and referring to finance really shouldn't do that, focus on what she is supposed to bring

.. its not her job to bring finance, so if you are referring to that you are asking the wrong contextual question, a lady actually has what she should bring to the table, but sadly not a lot of ladies have taken their time to sit down and think about the question, because the are always offended or defensive, its just a simple question, that you need to understand, its not you mdfkn job to bring finance, that is what the man should bring to the table,

what the lady brings to the table .. ranges from
great values
Emotional Intelligence
Attention to Detail
Organizational Skills
Nurture and Care
Empathy and Compassion
Collaborative Spirit
Multitasking Abilities
Intuition
Social Skills
Diplomacy
Support

when you list these features and tell the man you posses these traits
now it's your turn to ask him
what does he bring to the table
...
he should have most of these below
finance
protection
security
Leadership
Decision-Making Skills
Stability
Emotional Support
Problem-Solving Abilities
Initiative
Adaptability
Sense of Humor
Integrity
Shared Responsibilities

marriage or relationship is team effort, not competition
the next time i hear that question in the wrong context I fit flog person cool grin

What do you bring to the table is a modern term coined by blue pill men or beta men who've been traumatized by previous feminist & have vow to ask for equal share of responsibilities rather than learn from their mistakes. An Alpha male has no time to ask such a bombastic question as he's busy pro creating, seducing, protecting and providing.

What a simp you are!!!

Key our women breathe. You guys are indirectly encouraging these women into feminism but you don't know that yet.
In the days of our forefathers, they demand shi from their women, little or no wonder our mothers respected them and placed them on high regard.
A woman brings on those aforementioned to the table and you still expect her to regard you?
These days it's really hard to know who's now playing the main role and the supportive role. Spits sad sad!

NL men and men of nowadays don't care. All they think is how much MONEY are you bringing to help with the bills!

This op is funny, and then saying you don't want to hear people make comments about what both parties have to bring to the table.

Whatever you wrote up there is mainly your opinion. There is no hard fact or square rule about how people lead their lives.

You are comparing intangible things to tangible things . Everything you listed up there that a woman should bring to the table, does not necessarily need to be between a man and his wife. All the things you listed for a woman to bring to the table are intangible.

Can you carry out successful business deals, or even be classed as humans with a purpose if you don't have those traits you listed for both the man and the woman?

You even wrote that a man should bring shared responsibility to the table.

Your colleagues, relatives, business associates, etc., cannot consistently give you money to take care of your family. Money is tangible!

So, when we ask a woman what she's bringing to the table, we are asking her to what extent does she want to contribute financially in the home.

Nobody made it a rule that men must be the sole provider in a home.

So, I'll say speak for yourself man.

OP, may I respectfully say that you've written a well crafted bunkum. And I've anyways wondered why the issue of contributing to the finances of the home gets women triggered. Heck, what else do they need the money for?

How do you mean "it's not her priority" to contribute to the finances of her own family. Or it's not mandatory? That's why many men treat women like trash as they're seen as mere passengers. I'd understand if the woman doesnt work ,but if she does, there must be a need that her income solves in the home.

Also, all those you listed as what she can bring to the table are things 3ven a 10yr old child can conveniently bring to the table. So what gives?

If a woman doesnt want to contribute to the finances of the home, then let her be a full time housewife.

Op is 100% right. Forget all this feminism bullshit.
Even in western world the husband still contribute more to finances.
If you and your wife dey bring 50/50 then you're inviting problem especially if you're egotistic as a man.

Men are creatures that can give 100% without complaining, just massage their ego and let them be on top.

The finance is your full responsibility, anything she adds make sure e no equal or pass your own.

Well maybe evolution of culture and societal values as a man nothing should concern you what your wife is financially bringing to the table atleast not much.
If she has all those qualities mention (that's her primary role) financial support is just secondary.

There's one thing everyman wants- a woman that can take care of the home, help raise responsible children, treat him as a lord and give him peace of mind. Money is least consideration.

I used to advocate for women financial inclusiveness in the marriage, but as I get older knowing how egostical a man can be omo I no want your money, even if you're working just invest the money on the kids future, you don't have to spend much on me...

Of the many things men appreciate women for, financial support is not a priority,
good looks, fertility, character and organization.

If the sole purpose of asking a woman "what are you bringing to the table" is as described by the op, then, there is no need to ask the question in the first place.

You can see all those attributes and traits by mere observation. So, why should the man ask the woman what she's bringing to the table when all he wants are intangible ?

I'm cooking in the kitchen, you asked me what I'm bringing to the table, I replied, "emotional intelligence."

Since you were expecting me to have emotional intelligence before going into the kitchen why ask me what I'm bringing to the table?

This is what I'm saying man. They turned relationship and marriage to something else.

In a nutshell, men should start committing suicide if they cannot meet up with the needs of their family even if they have wives that work and make good money. Whereas, the women are supposed to be there as helpmate.

True, but note majority of women are not really like that, they are not created to cater for majority of finances. Even if she start doing at first she'll starts grumbling later, as an man you'll even feel less of yourself and uncomfortable when a woman start catering for majority of the responsibility no matter how learned you are.
Omo that's why I pray for conditions where a man can no longer meet his financial obligations due to economic hardship, even if it happens it shouldn't be for long..
This in particular had caused a lot of marital problems
