Love styles

Love styles


A few days ago I was watching a video on youtube. The video was about love styles and how to figure out what yours are. The person in the video mentions the "Love Attitudes Scale" (LAS) then goes on to take a shorter version of the test on camera that the viewer can take along with her if they want.

So for fun I took both versions of the test. The results didn't really surprise me that much. But there were a couple interesting things I noticed with my results. Before I go ahead and tell you what my results were and what they mean. I'd leave the video and link to the test if I could but we all know how picky this place is about that stuff. Just go to the tube of you and search sexplanations and look for the love styles video. Like wise a quick web search on love attitudes scale will bring you to the test sight. That way if you want to take it yourself before learning what things mean you can.

Now onto my scores. The first test is the shorter one from the video. The max score per section on this is 15.

Eros - 11
Ludus - 7
Storge - 9
Pregma 4
Mania - 7
Agape - 13

The second test is the is the online LAS test. The max score in this on is 28 per section.

Eros - 16
Ludus - 8
Storge - 15
Pregma 2
Mania - 9
Agape - 21

So what does this all mean?

Eros - Was the name of the Roman (or maybe it was Greek) God of love. His counter part is Cupid. Same God, only one is Roman one is Greek, I forget which is which. Anyways this stands for passionate love. It involves a strong physical responses to a lover and a lot of commitment.

Ludus - This is "game playing love" People scoring high in this are likely to see love as a game. May not want to get close and sometimes this even involves deception.

Storge - Scoring high here indicates that you link love with friendship. It is strong and enduring but not particularly passionate.

Pregma - These are for the rational thinkers. Do you choose your partners because they will be a good parent, or reflect well on your career? Then you likely score well here.

Mania - Can also be called puppy love. This is the person who gets love sick when your not around. This also isn't necessarily a healthy type of love.

Agape - Selfless love. Giving without taking, putting your needs to the side to make sure your lovers needs are met. Though the research claims that the truest form of this may only appear in the parents of small . And even then it is rare.

So I scored high in agape, which isn't much of a surprise I guess. I have a life time of pushing my needs aside, to the point where now I sometimes have trouble asking for things I need. Next on both lists was Eros, but that was always closely followed by storge, which seem to me to be two that don't get along much. As Eros tends to be fiery and passionate but possibly burns out quick, while storge apparently is long lasting but not very passionate. I agree that pregma should be last for me. I don't pick people based on how it will reflect on me. I pick them based on how I feel about them. I am a little surprised that I scored so high in ludus though, Never really have considered love a game.

I do wonder what people I've been involved with would think about these scores and how they match up to the reality.

I think my love style is cranky with a bit of smartass! Ok ... maybe not. I think I will pass on taking that particular test. Some things are better left unknown to me.

The most important thing you can wear is the expression on your face!

Not sure cranky with a bit of smartass is on the tests I took.

This was really interesting! Here are my results from the longer test:

Eros 25
Ludus 9
Storge 12
Pragma 8
Mania 15
Agape 21

Not surprising to me

Free your mind. Open your heart. Move a mountain. An Open Book...

I find it interesting that some of our scores are pretty darn close.

I must have found a different test than y'all did. Mine seems to top out at 100:

Eros 96
Storge 89
Agape 68
Mania 39
Ludus 18
Pragma 14

I answered with Mack in mind. I'll have to retake it sometime thinking of Mr. Audio as I answer.

Yep you must have found a different one. But I'm not too surprised by the scores.
