What are the appropriate responses?

Ask the same of him

It's valid, especially if you are old like 30

No it's not. Maybe in 1950, but...

For realz……??!

I would respond back that I was under the assumption that this was a date - not a job interview.
Then make like a tree & leave. 🍁

What does your portfolio have to do with relationships?

OP, are you sure it wasn't asked like:

"wow you are beautiful, professionally successful and it is so surprising a catch like you hasn't been swept off her feet"

This I have heard and had expressed; I just say thank you. Not the same as the question OP posed. If it’s what you’re suggesting I’d be a little less abrasive and I wouldn’t tell him about my glock.

Ask him why he's single.

Fact is that there are loads of eligible single women but most eligible men get snapped up very quickly. It's a far more reasonable question to ask of a single straight man, though it's pretty rude either way.

It was asked exactly as I wrote it.

This reminds me of one of my all time favorite Modern Love columns (tried to link below). I found it when I was 33 years old and questioning why I was still single. It’s themed around a slightly different, but frustratingly common dating question (“what’s wrong with you/ me?”). But that’s honestly the underlying sentiment to, ”Why are you still single?” The right answers are nothing and because I am.

Yep.

I've been known to say, "Just lucky.". In other words, f**k the f**I outta my life.

Look at them and blink and say nothing. Just a rude question.

And I always bring my glock to the table, just in case folks wanna pop off. Sometimes I’ll bring a feast but you gotta be worth the preparation and presentation. Sometimes I bring nothing snd wait to see what you’ve got for me, on purpose.

Now - What’s your excuse for being a lonely bastard, and what do you bring to the table, other than your hunger for more of me?”

Then I bite into a turkey leg and spit out any grizzle, right there on the floor. I may offer him a bite to let him know I like him.

OMG this is why I love this forum. Just can't help but laugh at this.
