Quote by Yuval Noah Harari
English (Source)
While traditionally the family was the main matchmaker, nowadays the market shapes our romantic (...) preferences and then fulfills our needs - for good money. In the past, bride and groom met in the living room of one of their families, and money in the form of a dowry passed from one father's hand to the other. Today, courtship takes place in bars and cafes, and money goes from the lovers' hands to the waiters. And then even more money goes to the accounts of fashion designers, gym owners, dietitians, beauticians and plastic surgeons who help us arrive at the cafe looking as close as possible to the market's ideal of beauty.
