What context do men typically ask, "What do you bring to the table?" I can't imagine the question is asked out of the blue. Maybe it is. It seems like a probable response to a list of requirements from a woman for dating. For example:

Woman: "If you want to date me you need to have yourself together. You should have a decent job, a decent car, a good place to live and enough disposable income to pay for our dates. You should dress well, be well groomed and have a plan for our night out."

Man: "Okay, but what do you bring to the table?"

I would never ask something like that, but I certainly would think it. When I hear anyone voicing their expectations of the opposite sex, I wonder if they're able to meet those same expectations. If not, isn't it a little hypocritical? That's the thing about judgement, it goes both ways. Now that women are financially independent, isn't it fair to judge them on their financial status (like women judge men)? Likewise, if a man voices is preference for women who are not overweight, shouldn't he feel obligated to stay fit as well?
