Abstract

This article aims to show how romantic love has taken the place to where men and women back their bets for happiness in post-modernity. Inspired in media images, people look for a perfect, ravishing and everlasting love, a love that does not exist, and that, therefore, constitutes in  one of the utopias of our time, which I named here as the ‘utopia of romantic love’.

Keywords: post-modernity, utopia, romantic love
