Third, because there are no more formal mechanisms by which to pair people up, individuals internalize the economic dispositions that also help them make choices which must be at once economic and emotional, rational and irrational. The romantic habitus has thus the characteristic of operating at once economically and emotionally. Sometimes this habitus makes choices in which economic calculus is harmoniously reconciled with emotions, but sometimes this habitus is subject to internal tensions, as when one has to choose between a “socially appropriate” and a “sexy” person. This is why the sexual-romantic habitus has become a very complicated one, precisely because it contains a variety of dispositions.
