This order says that you work hard and play hard.

You probably think a lot about how you look, smell, and sound on a date. But what about your dinner order? That $32 steak will say something to your dining companion about your personality and maybe even your values--but what? To find out, we asked a random sample of guys (who mostly date women) for their candid thoughts. We summarized their responses for each dish and picked a favorite quote (or two).

We're not saying you shouldn't order your heart's desire, but just know what your quinoa salad is saying about you. Knowledge is power. Plus: Stay tuned for next week when we ask women the same question about men.
