I've not been in the so-called dating game since 1492 (I'm happily married), but I'm astonished that any bloke would utter nonsense like this. "High value man"? "What do you bring to the table?" What the hell is this? A job interview? What the hell happened to making jokes, seeing if you could laugh together about the same kinds of things (in my case, very dark and inappropriate things), seeing what films, music, books, etc the other person enjoyed, and so forth?
