either way we are saying the same thing. When a man says that he doesnt think much of the woman.
Bingo!!! Thanks for letting us agree and get to the same consensus quicker than later.

Yes many of you don’t think much of women
You tell us that EVERYDAY. In every way possible.

Your first response to me lends to that.

Nonsense post and Points undecided
Which i never opened this shit
Ladycewhy:
The popular phrase is "what do you bring to the table" and men usually ask women this question.

But what does "table" mean for a man? . It simply means financial capability. Which is directly or indirectly proportional to his job or business.

I have seen men wail and nag about how women only rate them according to their pockets or what they do for a living. But when the only thing you have on your table is money, well you might as well be sized up by what you have on the table.


In a scenario where a woman offers support , loyalty, home making, care on that table ,it is regarded as incosequential except she has financial input as well sometime equal percentage with the man.

Men have subconsciously sold the idea that all they have to offer is money, yet they cry when their pocket is used to size them up. What an irony.

The fact is only child birth is a natural phenomenon.There is nothing fallacious about it. You can only associate something as a natural phenomenon to a gender if the task cannot to taken up by the other . It's just like having a penls and vagina. Don't mistake natural instincts for natural phenomenon.


By natural instincts women are nuturers while men are protectors .

Providers, not protectors. At least given the context, men provide for y'all to nurture.

You said it all
CumOnHer:
The table is a place of negotiation, a place of offer. It is a place where capacities are put to the test. It is not to be confused as a place in exchange for gender roles as mostly viewed by women.
A woman's most bargaining power on the table is her pussy. She mounts on the table, lay on her back and spread the legs. The pussy is the trump card she throws on the table.
When a man comes to the table, he comes in the expectation of long term plans capable of achieving long term goals whereas when a woman comes to the table, she sizes up the table for self seeking advantage.



PS - I would be opening a counter thread anytime soon.

Firstly i cant remember my 1st response to you. i honestly did not even know when i started a conversation with you. I answered as objectively and mature as possible without bias. I stated from the beginning that bringing something to the table for a woman has nothing to do with money or at least it shouldnt.


Many Men have a bad attitude .....so also a lot of women. Nobody deserves automatic respect this applies to both men and women. If you behave badly, have and attitude problem or a chip on your shoulder , you will be treated badly whether you are male of female. You seem to be on a war path. There are many men who dont think much of women just as there are many women who dont think much of men...what is your point?

Like I said you seem very confrontational...I'm out!!!

i have since checked this 1st post where you quoted me. Value in a relationship in a subjective thing. the fact that one person (male or female) feels that they add value does not mean the other party sees them as adding value to them. You made a fundamental error in your post by assuming you are the one to determine if you are adding value!!!! Your value in a relationship is not what you think you bring but what the other party thinks you bring!!! it is not for you to determine what value you add to someone's life, that's narcissistic

If what i think I bring is not valued by you then i have little value to you. it is not for you to determine your value to your partner. that is a fundamental mistake you made in your post. And yes whatever causes a man to say to a woman or vice versa what do you bring to the table means they dont see you as adding value to them !!!!

Redpill is a pill i once swallowed and chewed out. There's some truths in it, but alot of it is farfetched as well, especially because it skews males perceptions of females

Be honest with yourself, for what purpose does redpill enlighten men about female nature?

Redpillers don't/hardly respect females due to the knowledge
Give us an example. An example of what is farfetched .
Remember: it's a praxeology NOT an ideology.

Redpillers don't/hardly respect females due to the knowledge

Re: What "Table" Means To Men. by cococandy(f): 9:21pm On Feb 23, 2022
Your first response to me is that many women do not have much to offer. That they over estimate their value to men. That wasn’t very respectful. And I used it as an example to buttress your point. I didn’t add anything to what you said. See how it looks from a different perspective? For you, saying that is no big deal. Just another post but for the women you’re referring to, it’s disrespectful.

You know it’s funny how saying disrespectful stuff about women comes naturally but when a woman points it out, she’s confrontational.

Just say you didn’t mean it to sound the way it did instead of trying to make me out to be the bad guy

is that a lie? is every woman an asset? Are you an asset simply by virtue of being a woman? what nonsense are you talking here? Are all women asets? i if not then am i not correct?
I suspect you read again or brush up on your English better still read my 1st 2 posts in this thread.

There is no perspective here, you seem to have a chip on your shoulder!!!!!! Not everybody adds value both men and women, and even those who may add value to one person may not add value to another. Therefore "many dont!" or "overestimate their value" is a factual statement!!! that doesnt mean there arent men who are just Arseholes but arseholes are not limited to one sex only!!!!!

This is quite an interesting topic, saw this thread when it's at page 2 but now, it's in the front page. Alot of people will shy away from this thread becaue all they know is to berate either gender. First off, a woman is made for a man not the other way round (consult the holy book). Now, men asking what you bring to the table might not necessarily mean finances, i'd like to call it, resourcefulness trait and trust me any woman who doesn't possess this cannot keep a home. I'm sure at this point you go don dey ask, shey na only woman go do all these wahala, what of the man, keep reading grin grin. A man brings alot to the table, his stakes are high. Y'all can't get married to a man without a home or a job, he gotta have that. Plays super hero for you, his princes and princesses, also his kingdom. Let's say he is wealthy, pretend to love him and divorce in 2 years. Just because you bear his surname, you have a right to his property and other investment (the same thing that was a criteria when accepting his proposal) smooth move right?? grin grin you get to keep custody of the children and also pay child support. Are we talking about western world?? the same black women in western world that are baby mama's to different category of men all because of child support, we know how these things go. Now this birth the question, what do you bring to the table. You'd see a woman list the kind of man she want, ask her, after getting him, what would you give him in return, she'd say, good sex, seriously grin grin. Thing is, a woman should be the wife, while a man should be the husband. You can tussle for power in your place of work, fine but not where you call home. Said enough. If you think i'm wrong, you're right. If you think i'm right, you're right grin grin

Hence the reason they feel emasculated when they loose their jobs in marriages and become useless to themselves and nagging to their wife.

I don't know about men of other societies ,but Nigerian men see money as a means of control cos that is all they have to offer , hence they fear a woman that earns well or even more than them. You will hear "this one go fit submit so? ". Like why would a grown adult submit to you a mere mortal like her unto say you be Lord and savior?

Your moniker ehn!

You and OP actually made valid points based on the cultures and traditions of societies past and present which has shaped our thinking and behaviour today.

OP was almost losing her temper and became confrontational when words that seem to downgrade or spite her gender was used. Two much learning on this subject has made OP mad (as used at Paul by Festus before King Agrippa). Nevertheless, you can't OP valid points away from her. She's plain about her arguments, but seeing things from her point of view actually robs erode the headship from the man and places it in a balance that doesn't work in all cases and cultures.

Well, I'm so much interested more in what you have to say in your thread because OP I understand well, you I understand but more clarifications and facts I look forward to read in your thread.

Obviously, they offer us protection from their fellow men.

They are so close. So close to realizing that they are the problem . But they run face-first smack into the point and still somehow miss it entirely.
I’ve never seen such a phenomenon in my life grin

Like Why would we need protection if y’all behaved yourselves?

And even though they say that, it’s not even true. How many of them call out abusive men? How many prioritize building a society where women don’t have to hide pepper spray in their purses? How many speak up against violence towards women instead of justifying it? I could go on and on. Many may not actively participate in creating unsafe spaces for women but they tolerate the ones who do. And attack the women who confront the dangerous ones. So they are protecting no one.

Protection indeed.

They deliberately created a world that’s unsafe for women and in return we have to submit to them so that they can protect us from the problems they cause.

housing,
leadership

Woman are so selfish, no wonder the Bible said that man should love his wife while the woman should submit to her husband. Woman don't LOVE and that's the problem we have in our society today. From the beginning of the world till this 21st century men has been taken care of all the bill without any noise but the world we're now offer more opportunities to women than men and that's the major problem we have in our society today. 90% of women we prefer to die single than to live with a man who she is better than financially because they will always use the phrase HIS MONEY IS OUR MONEY, MY MONEY IS MY MONEY.

If you are experiencing the current economic situation then you will understand that this post was very unnecessary unless you lack wisdom which is another imperative quality other than Financial capabilities that's required on the Table.

You think it's easy feeding multiple persons in this economy, majority of those living lavish lifestyles in this Buhari's Evil Regime are into one form of corruption.

So I suggest you act wisely and raise up important topics, there are times when love and wisdom cannot run a home peacefully and money does the job at those times.
