From ancient writings, sociologist John Alan Lee (1988) identified three primary love
styles: eras (erotic love), lupus (game-playing, uncommitted love), and storage
(friendship love). As with primary colors, Lee theorized, these three styles can be
blended together to form new secondary types of love, such as mania (demanding and
possessive love), pragmetic (pragmatic love), and agape (other-oriented, altruistic
love). On a scale designed to measure these "colors of love," men tend to score higher
than women on lupus, and women score higher on storage, mania, and pragmetic
(Hendricks & Hendricks, 1995).
