Should I shoot down Cupid?
Since I am having problems getting romance, I am thinking on whether or not to shoot Cupid. So, should I do that since he fails in hitting me with his arrows?

Do it!  I will supply the ammo. He has failed me one time too many now.

Re: Should I shoot down Cupid?
Absolutely. It will definitely solve all your problems. 
But I agree. Cupid's aim was real sketchy for a while for me, too.

Re: Should I shoot down Cupid?
Don't count on your aim being any better than Cupid's!

Re: Should I shoot down Cupid?
You do realize that Cupid is a pagan god? You might not want the quarry he brings down for you, anyway!
As the true God to help you, be resolved to submit to his will, and you will do best!

The reason why I said Cupid is simply because of the fact that most people view him as some dude who pairs people up with his subpar archery. And yes, I know that Cupid is a Classical Greek pagan god.
If anything, I am very frustrated with the fact that none view me as attractive.
I want to show you this scenario. Suppose that I am a plushie, along with other guys. And they're plushies. Me and the other guys are plushies in a toystore. The toystore opens and it has a sale on male plushies. All the good-looking, rich, gullible (yes, gullible), abusive and manipulative plushies gets bought by the women. Meanwhile, plushies like yours truly gets thrown away for not being bought.
I will ask God to help me.

Re: Should I shoot down Cupid?
Oh I am quite familar with Kikyo. Inuyasha just happens to be one of my favorite anime's (along with several others) I really hope things work out for him and Kagome they are so right for each other.
