Really? You don’t know?

I’ve unscientifically tried to place people into categories according to the steak they prefer.

Well, our friends over at It’sOnTheTable.co.uk have taken it one step further. They’ve put people you’re dating (or already married to) in categories according to their steak of choice.

I like to think of it as a Love-O-Meter.

Check it out and see if it’s accurate!!

How to Do it in 15 Minutes:
