Influences: An alternative approach to classifying love can be found in Lee's (1973) lovestyles typology. He proposes that different attitudes to love, stemming, in part, from previous family experiences, influence emotions and behaviors and can be classified into six main styles. These lovestyles are named Eros, Ludus and Storge, (the primary styles), and Mania, Pragma and Agape (the secondary types).The Eros style involves the need for an intense physical and emotional attraction and commitment to another. This lover is passionate about love itself. In contrast, Ludus is a game playing style of love where rules govern behavior and the love object is expected to understand and play by those rules. There is no genuine commitment to one partner nor is there any jealousy. In this way love can be anxiety free and fun; the way this lover believes love should be. Love can be played with multiple partners, or in a series of one after the other. Storge is a lovestyle that lacks intensity, but is deep in affection and devotion once a commitment to the relationship has been made. It is often likened to a long-term friendship where trust has been built up over time (Lee 1998).http://www.uiowa.edu/~grpproc/crisp/crisp.7.11.htm
