Abstract: This research aims to understand the subjective narrative of young women, who live in republics of the city of São Paulo, regarding love relationships with men. The study considers the values, the gains and conflicts experienced and the appreciations that a women have on themselves, on affective partners and on loving relations. It is based on concepts of analytical psychology as animus, shadow and persona, and in the contributions of psychologists and sociologists about intimacy, pure relationships and the liquid relations. In the research process are used a qualitative method e tools such as a semi-structured interviews and a thematic design with a story. These techniques are applied individually with 12 single women in the age range of 21 to 36 years who study and/or work. An analysis of the stories and drawings reveals some polarities that form a loving relationships and clarifying the values, gains and conflicts, such as: unity–separation, conjugality–individuality, sex–love, differentiation–projection, affinity–differences, ideals–loss and sharing–freedom. The self-image integrates the traditional roles of caring woman responsible for the success of the relationship with the modern heroine capable of builds his identity and choosing how to live their loving intimacy. The image of the partner contains a loving man and a man who do not wish to engage affectively. The ideal relationship of these modern women is not based on romance or relationship without commitment, but the psychological relationship that involving the conscious integration of opposites, although they experiences dilemmas in this process.
