This study examined the relationship of love styles and romantic attachment styles in 72 self-identified gay men. The results indicated significant relationships between different love styles, romantic attachment styles, and avoidance and anxiety in romantic relationships for gay men. In particular, fearful attachment style was significantly related to Eros love style, preoccupied attachment style was significantly related to Mania and Agape love styles. In addition, anxiety in romantic relationships was significantly related to Pragma, Mania, and Agape love styles and avoidance in romantic relationships was significantly related to Eros and Ludus love styles.
