How is about you

In these instances, interchanging the how or what may lead to the sentence sounding off or weird or even just plain wrong. It expands, rather than restricts, the possibilities. How about you? What about you? There is no implication of an invitation. After the inquiry, an invitation may or may not follow. However, none of these rules are hard and fast, which means that it is generally better to use the one that sounds right. Further examples: How are you? I am great, how about you? How are you doing?

Thanks in advance. There is a slight difference between "How about you? Perhaps the following sentences will help accentuate it:- a How about you? How about you? What have you decided? Are you eligible to join the club? What about you? Have you chipped in? Have you found work? I must respectfully disagree with Dehbaash; in my opinion, all four samples could be completed with equal accuracy by either question i. I hold again that there is no measurable difference in meaning.
