Romance styles
¶
Viktor Gulenko
has proposed four groups of
romance
styles
, also referred to as “erotic behavior” groups or “erotic
attitudes.” Other socionists, such as
Valentina Meged
and
Aleksandr Bukalov
, have also written on how type
influences behavior in intimate relationships, but discussed typical
behavior within
quadras
. Gulenko’s approach was to find
common ground between types of different quadras. Obviously, all
interpretations in this area assume, or conclude, that the greatest
degree of compatibility in that area is between dual pairs.

element in the individual’s

“Romance styles” refer specifically to romantic/sexual interaction –
displaying physical attraction, interest, and desire, flirting, and
sexual behavior present in romantic relationships. These styles apply
much less to relationships between friends or business partners.
