Kombinacija danas predominatne ego-kulutre, najviše podržane internet saobraćajem i društvenim mrežama, zatim konzumerskog načina života i aktuelne ekonomske krize, vraća nas u vreme naših predaka, kada su ugovoreni brakovi bili najnormalnija praksa.
Ne samo brak kao ekonomski ugovor između familija, već i potreba da savremeni čovek izbegne ličnu odgovornost i patnju pri izboru partnera, oživljava tradiciju ugovorenih brakova.

But, he argues, avoiding love's problems is just what we do in our risk-averse, commitment-phobic society. Badiou was struck by publicity slogans for French online dating site Méetic such as "Get perfect love without suffering" or "Be in love without falling in love". "For me these posters destroy the poetry of existence. They try to suppress the adventure of love. Their idea is you calculate who has the same tastes, the same fantasies, the same holidays, wants the same number of children. Méetic try to go back to organised marriages – not by parents but by the lovers themselves." Aren't they meeting a demand? "Sure. Everybody wants a contract that guarantees them against risk. Love isn't like that. You can't buy a lover. Sex, yes, but not a lover.
Dakle, šta mislite, da li je ovo povratak u predmoderno doba, ili samo epifenomen savremenog kapitalizma "iz fotelje"?
