The double standards derived from the heteropatriarchal model are applied to women who

less involved (Owen & Fincham, 2011; Merriam-Pigg, 2012; Jonason et al., 2015), that they
hope for the relationship to evolve into a stable union (Lehmiller et al., 2011; Williams &

subjects, which presents problems when comparing and extrapolating results.
This study focuses on the love styles of the subjects, similar to Paul and collaborators (2000),
Grello et al. (2006) and more recently Jonason and colleagues (2015). According to
