What are John Lee’s six styles of love? | Eros,Ludus,Storge,Pragma,Mania,Agape |
Eros | is passionate love, where the lover idealizes the partner, has definite preferences for physical characteristics in a partner, and pursues love with intensity.Ex HallyBerry and Brad Pitt in Troy |
Ludus | is love played as a game, for mutual enjoyment, without the intensity of eros. Ludus is short on commitment, and the “game of love” can occur with multiple partners simultaneously. ex James Bond and Paris Hilton |
Storge | is friendship love and is analogous to companionate love, which is the affection felt by two people whose lives are deeply intertwined.Ex Friends tv show |
Pragma | is practical love; it involves “shopping” for a mate with a list of desired qualities in hand (e.g., match.com). It involves looking for a mate based on practical or economic motives. ex.Ana Nicole with old man |
Mania | is “manic” love. A manic lover desperately wants love but often finds that it is painful. Thus, “stormy passion” is an apt descriptor, and a cycle of jealousy, dramatic breakups, and equally dramatic reconciliations characterize this love style.Fatal Attr |
Agape | is selfless and giving love where the person is fully concerned with the partner’s welfare. It is often associated with a divine or higher form of love. ex. Mother Theresa Angolina Jolie |

Looking for the similarities betwn people – we all feel pain and can suffer. | The idea that some experiences are universal is a central idea of how grp therapy works.
