It seems to me that for a relationship to work it needs to be mutually beneficial. If person feels like they are not getting a good return on what they put in it is more than likely that at some point the will pack up and move on. So if we are finding it hard to establish a long lasting relationship perhaps we should ask ourselves what we are bringing to the table.

The deal is also this ladies.....be smart about it. Especially in the very beginning of getting to know stage...don't bring more to the table than what he does...that's foolish.
If he brings more that's cool. It means he's really into you...let him SHOW you. If he doesn't he probably is not the one. You'll see...

Yea I tried that but I was really uncomfortable with it, and well over half of the women turned out to be married and their husbands developed rather large attitudes. But being a high level dancer is one of the things I bring to the table.

If you spread your table I could put my expansion board in between it.

I'm out of touch with the community..don't know how much the syllabi have changed but really...gold was just longer patterns...a little more syncopation...
I always preferred international. rather do smooth but I'm built for latin.*shrug*

Why not just enjoy dating the person and stop putting so much thought in to what they are doing for YOU.

It takes a lot of work, effort and understanding to make a relationship last.
It always seems lopsided.
Usually being taken for granted and resentments sets in, boredom cause lack of compatibility happens and then bitterness, anger and jealousy usually kill it. Sad story in most relationships.

Because I run into a lot of women that ask for everything and give nothing in return. As a dancer one of the biggest turn offs is women thinking I should give them free dance lesson because they want them. My best relationships are based on being mutually beneficial, we each walk away feeling like we've gained something, not feeling like we've been used. You know there are guys just looking to get laid and women just looking to get free entertainment, they take without giving anything back. So maybe you think it's rude to ask what are you doing for me, but when they keep asking and never giving I think it is valid.

I think this sounds too much like guilt-tripping yourself, or almost as bad, trying to do the other person's thinking, feeling and assessing for them.
Yes of COURSE relationships are best when mutually beneficial. Where too many people go wrong, though, is thinking they've figured out what the other person is SUPPOSED to be looking for, and then pretending to be that. The next step from there, is complaining because they "did everything right, but still didn't get what they paid for."
Another way to put it is, it's not what you "bring to the table" that matters, it's what the other person WANTS of what you "brought."

Of course men ask the question, the point of the question was for introspection. For example I'm collage educated, have a good job, nice car, a condo, and I'm a pretty darn good ballroom dancer.
