Abstract

Since ten years, the increase of meeting websites for singles has helped to introduce technology and “industrialize” the emotional-sexual relationships. This paper shows that more widely the principles of liberalism as doctrine have taken over love relationships in a variety of ways, because a new relationship economy, based on effectiveness, interchangeability, performance and profitability, largely prevails over these meeting websites.
