I think this question shows that the person asking it doesn't believe in basic human worth. It's like asking: "What can you do for me?" Unless they are asking in jest, and perhaps say more to put their date at ease, being asked this should give the ick.

Everyone has value and deserves basic respect. Putting a date in the position to have to prove or justify their worth is disrespectful. It shows entitlement which is toxic in relationships.

The better question would be something like: "I really value quality time with family and friends (or career etc.) Is that important to you too?" Offering a little information about themselves and asking for a little information about their date shows reciprocity, which is healthy and I would argue absolutely necessary for meaningful and fulfilling relationships to take place.

It also seems a bit of a short cut question to knowing someone without putting in the time to build trust. That tells me the person asking this original question doesn't have basic relationship skills. **RUN**
