3 reasons you should not ask 'What do you bring to the table?'

Often many people wonder and some even ask intending and current partners, ‘What do you bring to the table?’

Here are some reasons why you should not ask this question.

First of all, what table are we even talking about? What do you want to be brought to this imaginary table?

It is all up in the air. Most times, men mean women do not make financial contributions and women feel the men do not cater to their financial needs when they say this.

But it could mean more, it could mean they are not getting love, attention or care.
