The Five Love Languages

I don't remember if I made this thread before, and even if I did it would have probably been within the first year the forum was up, meaning it'll be a lot more fun now.

Author and marriage counselor Gary Chapman, after 20 years of counseling, devised system of categories defining the ways people give and receive love with one another, be it within a friendship, relationship, or the whatnot. These methods are individual for each person and an inherent quality of your personality, thus really speaking to the type of person you are. Descriptions of the five languages can be found here, but what's more fun than reading is taking a quiz!

To find out which love languages you are/communicate with, take the appropriate assessment here. Bear in mind that most people highly demonstrate two categories, though because one is definitely stronger than another, they're identified as your primary and secondary love languages.

Since I discovered these back in 2009 I've defined mine as primary Quality Time and secondary Physical Touch, though my point difference between the two is tiny.

Have at it and post your results! How does Southperry communicate love?

Words of Affirmation

Actions don’t always speak louder than words. If this is your love language, unsolicited compliments mean the world to you. Hearing the words, “I love you,” are important—hearing the reasons behind that love sends your spirits skyward. Insults can leave you shattered and are not easily forgotten.

Primary: Quality Time (11)
Secondary: Words of Affirmation (7)

I guess it makes sense. I really value the quality time I spend with my friends and I absolutely hate it when I'm with a friend who spends the whole night texting someone else.
Words of Affirmation I can believe cause my self-esteem sucks so it's nice to hear I'm appreciated or that someone cares about me or whatever.

Quality Time
In Quality Time, nothing says “I love you” like full, undivided attention. Being there for this type of person is critical, but really being there—with the TV off, fork and knife down, and all chores and tasks on standby—makes you feel truly special and loved. Distractions, postponed activities, or the failure to listen can be especially hurtful.

Secondary is words of affirmation.

Acts of Service
Can helping with homework really be an expression of love? Absolutely! Anything you do to ease the burden of responsibilities weighing on an “Acts of Service” person will speak volumes. The words he or she most wants to hear: “Let me do that for you.” Laziness, broken commitments, and making more work for them tell speakers of this language their feelings don’t matter.

Secondary is Physical Touch.

This is kind of bullpomegranate. All of the questions in the singles one are variations of being touched or getting gifts.

edit: finished it. That was retarded and not even close to being a meaningful way of getting how someone really feels.

Sorry froz, but this is dumb. Two answers per grouping and they are both totally biased and never actually related to... anything. Just forced to choose one or the other.


DO YOU LIKE pomegranate SANDWICHES OR A PUNCH TO THE THROAT?

OH SO YOU LIKE pomegranate SANDWICHES HUH? YOU'RE GROSS.

I swear it just asked me the same 2-3 questions all the time, and some I had to just randomly picked one because either or didn't really go with me.

So I suppose I've learned something deep today.

I don't need gifts or favors. I'm not that kind of person, but if you have sex with me, I will definitely love you.

Highest was quality time which is definitely a HUGE factor for me. I am a big family person and I feel much more connected to someone whenever we're alone than when we're in a group.

I'm also not very big on receiving gifts/compliments, mostly because I don't know what to say as they're not expected/necessary. Just spending time with me will be enough to make me feel appreciated.

Sorry, but I had to lol at all the questions that were like, "I LOVE MY HUSBAND WHEN HE BUYS ME SHIT!"

how do i pick "none" <.<

This is basically my only thought process with the whole thing. Some of these pairings didn't even feel like they should be even remotely related to each other. Oh, well. This was the closest, I guess?

They really push the whole "gift" issue. What the heck is with that? Every other one was "I love to receive gifts from <x>" Half of everything else didn't even apply to me, so I chose those. I feel like I don't fit in with this test at all.

yea, i really feel anyone who gets the gifting one is a materialistic -
