Job Interviewer: What will you bring to this job?
Them: I am the job!
Job Interviewer: What the f*ck!?

A table doesn't say anything and just waits patiently on all fours.

I asked a Girl this question once.
She responded "I might not be the best cook. I might not be the most physically capable due to disability. I might not be a 10/10... But what I do have is love, loyalty and caring nature."

We have been together for 22 years and married for nearly 10 of them.

I have trust in her to care for and nurture our 2 children and she has faith and appreciation that I am doing what I can to provide for us and to protect our family.

She was very honest from the outset.

"i am the table" means all she really brings is an empty plate

“I am the table” = modernspeak version of “What’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine”

I’ve had discussions with women on podcasts where they have actually told me that yes, what the man gets out of the relationship is watching her have everything he gives her. And they think this is totally reasonable.

“I *am* the table.”

And that’s why those guys use you for a while and then discard you for a new one.

You know it's serious when the table gets updated

[cameronturner]

At the time my I met my wife she was,
1 seventeen
2 weighed 105lbs
3 worked at a restaurant
4 kept her bedroom clean
5 had a red ribbon from the state fair for her knitting
6 virgin
7 no debt
8 no tattoos
So I knew she could cook, clean and sew. She could work and kept in shape.
We've been together for 40 years now.

i like how in this one clip the woman got asked if her understanding of a relationship is "he gives money, she gives sex" and she immediately panicked when she understood this would make her a literal prostitute

[oneiros]

Do they not understand that "the table" is "the relationship", so when we ask "what do you bring to the table?" we're asking "what are you brining to the relationship". I don't think they even understand this fundamental concept. People always bring something, some people bring value, others bring attitude. Either way, you always bring something. In the end, saying that "I am the table" is the same as saying "I am the relationship" it's absurd.

This has changed my outlook on life. Almost all stupidity, bad choices and unattractive qualities stem from a lack of self awareness and failing to recognize that you have the ability to steer towards the outcome you want because your actions have real consequences and people have the right to judge your character based on your choices. The number one problem with society is that so many people have zero self awareness and just expect the world to hand them everything

A woman could say "I bring food to the table" and she's already in the top 1%

[hanswurscht]

'I am the table' is the most arrogant thing ever. It means you're so great it's already beneath you to explain your greatness.

“Everyone is negotiating with everyone” great line

*"I'm not an object"*
*"Stop objectifying me"*
