Sounds agressive. Doubt it would work in all circles.

Delivery had a lot to do with softening the approach.

Definitely not for all situations, but to be fair, no approach could be.

"What's YOUR deal?" sounds pretty aggressive, "what's your DEAL?" sounds borderline inflammatory, but I think there's a very neutral delivery without particular stress that sounds more like an open ended question than an aggression. Still, probably not great around fully sober folks.

It might work in a college environment but if as an adult someone would ask me that I would not take it kindly.

So, what is your deal? What have you been up too?
