Ah, love. That magical, heart-racing, butterflies-in-your-stomach feeling. We like to think of it as something pure, beautiful, and intentional. But then there’s Cupid. The tiny, winged troublemaker who zips around, blindly shooting arrows and leaving romantic chaos in his wake.
You’d expect the god of love to be a master of matchmaking, right? Maybe a wise, calculated strategist carefully pairing soulmates? Nope. Cupid operates more like a toddler with a Nerf gun—reckless, unpredictable, and completely unaware of the emotional mayhem he’s causing.
So, why do people say Cupid is stupid?
Well, the little guy isn’t exactly known for making the wisest decisions when it comes to love. Here’s the thing: Cupid, the god of love, is also kind of a mischief-maker and not always in the most strategic way. He’s got a bow, a quiver of love arrows, and a habit of shooting people with them on a whim. It sounds fun at first, but sometimes his aim is errr… less than perfect.
In one myth, Cupid’s own mother, Aphrodite, sent him to make the beautiful mortal Psyche fall in love with the most vile creature on earth. Instead, Cupid ends up falling for her himself. Awkward! And that’s just one of his “oops” moments.
He’s also known for shooting arrows at people without giving them any warning, causing chaotic love triangles, or turning perfectly fine relationships into emotional rollercoasters. Basically, Cupid is “stupid” because he doesn’t always think about the consequences of his actions. He shoots arrows and leaves a trail of love-struck people and total chaos. So, maybe Cupid’s got the right tools for love, but not always the best judgment to go with it!
