“Love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”

NELSON MANDELA

When it comes to romantic relationships, Advocates take the process of

nding a partner seriously. Not ones for casual encounters, people with the
Advocate personality type instead look for depth and meaning in their
relationships.

Advocates will take the time necessary to nd someone with whom they
truly connect. Once they’ve found that someone, their relationships will
reach a level of depth and sincerity of which most people can only dream.

Getting to that point can sometimes be a challenge for potential partners,

especially if they are impatient types, as Advocates are often perfectionistic
and picky. People with this personality type aren’t easily talked into
something they don’t want. If someone doesn’t pick up on that, they are
unlikely to be forgiven, particularly in the early stages of dating.

Even worse is if their partner tries to resort to manipulation or lying, as

Advocates will see right through it. If there’s anything they have a poor
tolerance for in a relationship, it is a lack of authenticity.

Is This for Real?

Advocates will go out of their way to seek out people who share their desire
for authenticity, and out of their way to avoid those who don’t, especially
when looking for a partner. All that being said, people with the Advocate
personality type often have the advantage of desirability. They are warm,
friendly, caring, and insightful, seeing past facades and the obvious to
understand others’ thoughts and emotions.

One of the things Advocates find most important is establishing

genuine, deep connections with the people they care about.

Advocate personalities are enthusiastic in their relationships. There is a

sense of wisdom behind their spontaneity, allowing them to pleasantly
surprise their partners again and again. These types aren’t afraid to show
their love, and they feel it unconditionally.

Advocates create a depth to their relationships that can hardly be described

in conventional terms. Relationships with Advocates are not for the

When it comes to intimacy, Advocates look for a connection that goes

beyond the physical. They prefer to embrace the emotional and even
spiritual connection they have with their partners. People with this
personality type are passionate partners.

Advocates see intimacy as a way to express their love and to make their
partners happy. They cherish not just the act of being in a relationship, but
what it means to become one with another person in mind, body, and soul.
