As a serious answer to the OP, I think if you have to ask outright what your date is going to bring to the table then you're probably doing dating wrong. Either you think finding someone is like finding your perfect ______ on amazon with all the features you want just so or else you're so desperate that you're dating anyone at all with no clue about who they are as a person. But when it comes to successful dating, I can't say I have a very good track record.

I think asking outright is a sign of the breakdown of sociability since traditionally that question is answered through conversation. I don't feel the need to ask a man how much money he makes, but if I'm dating him I'm going to be watching his attitudes toward money, what kind of dates we have (do they seem rather expensive or spendthrift), does he sound like he's stressing about money, etc.

As to a silly answer: Cow tongue, mint water, homemade bread, and 25 different blends of tea

Recently, I have seen multiple Youtube videos of men "walking away" from dating and marriage due to their distaste of the "modern woman", feminism, etc. This is a separate discussion of its own. However, one thing these men want to know from their dates early on is what these women bring to the table. In fact, some men even directly ask the women what they bring to the table, and the women are often shocked and offended.

What do you think of this question, and how would you react? I think it is a valid question, but seems very transactional and probably not a good way to start a relationship. Especially, if a woman asks a man this question, I am certain a man would not like a woman questioning him this way.

And, to both men and women, if your date asked you this question, how would you respond?

This is how a lot of women start dates, especially women habitual dating. Albeit, less direct. The pun is they are making women answer their own questions to which women are normally offended. While most men will answer without being embarrassed.

No men are actually looking for women to bring anything to the table. Except maybe the non-working male feminists.

Maybe this question was asked in speed dating where you have a group of men and a group of women who get paired off and ask each other questions to see if they're compatible. Just a thought. I mean it would seem extremely forward to ask someone that on a regular date.
 
I wish I could find someone, but maybe it’s for the best that I’m single.
 
He gives us the desires of our heart if we stay in Him.
His peace is priceless when we are in Him in one on one relationship.

"Blood tongue" sounds like the sausage they made locally at a Czech meat market near here. They had great stuff!

But we have a "deer season" where you are allowed to kill a deer, and the rest of the time you can't.

Actually it's more complicated... The first part is archery, where you can only kill a deer with a bow. Then there's muzzle-loader, where you can only kill a deer with a bow or a single-shot muzzle-loaded gun. Then the last part, you can kill a deer with any ole gun. My aunt only hunts during that last part.

So my aunt killed those 40 deer, on her own land only, between November 23rd, 2024, and January 5th, 2025. I just now googled when deer season in Tennessee is, and google said the "gun" part was between those dates.

That's how many deer we have running around here. o_O

If you want to keep a garden, you better have a dog. No way you're going to keep deer out of the garden any other way.

I was chasing deer around with a 2x4 they would just run away 50 feet and stop. As soon as I'd turn around back in the garden. Wipe half of it out in a night. I'd pull in from work there would be one standing in the garden eating it. I'd get out of the truck they would look at me and keep eating. I got told to just start popping them and eating them year round. However I am scared of the ticket. Its funny how you can shoot every animal in the woods if it is doing damage or about to do damage. No license neccessary but deer oh boy leave the poor herd of 50 deer per 10 acres alone can't touch them no matter how much damage they do. Ridiculous especially since I eat them. Its really funny how smart the deer suddenly get during gun season. Those terds know what's up. Hey guys 2 months a year we got to live in the woods. The other 10 its a free for all.
 
Crops are out here, hunting seasons are on right now, we try to drive a little slower as they can pop out from areas they don't normally frequent such as "deer funnels" where the cover is very good on both sides of the road. One area east of town has a clean fence line for 300+ yards on the north, decent tree and brush cover on the south, shouldn't really be deer crossing there yet every year there is a red splotch on the road where one was hit.
They almost always "bust" into the wind where they can scent what is ahead of them, if they can't do to whatever pressure they are getting they can run into a very open area so they can use vision to avoid danger till they get to cover.
Does human scent deter them? Can you human-water the side of the garden area when you are out there?

You definitely need a dog. Medium size or larger. Female is better because she will stay home and protect the garden instead of roaming around the neighborhood getting into neighbors' trash cans.

In my experience the only time deer care about scent or get a little cautious is deer season. I live in the country but im not like the wilderness. Here deer see smell and hear people doing people stuff every day. So they just dont care. During gun season witch is 6 days away they all of a sudden get smart.
 
Local trap club one night, shooting a couple 25 shot rounds, looked down the range deer were on there out of range watching us and grazing. During shotgun season they disappear like Sasquatch.
Seeing them sometimes they hold still, until they hear a car door slam......
:giggle:(y):)

I don't know the laws in your locality, but if you sell any of your produce you might be able to apply for a damage permit from your local game department. It allows you to shoot a certain number of deer out of season.

The deer population is CRAZY most areas right now.... this year our damage permit allowed us to take up to 40. Usually it's half that many. Them buggers is thicker'n ticks on a beagle butt half past August!!
