Though I think Cupido is still one sexy astroid, you just shouldn´t assume there is any depth to it.
I don´t think Cupido is in it "for the count" only, but he just likes to play, and the attraction is there, but it is an attraction to appearance with not much foundation to build on.

I always think of the love style of LUDUS in terms of Cupido.

"Ludus

Ludic lovers are players. More interested in quantity than quality of relationships, ludic lovers want to have as much fun as possible. Ludic lovers choose their partners by playing the field, and quickly recover from break-ups.
Ludic lovers tend to view marriage as a trap, and are the most likely of the love styles to commit infidelity. They might view children as a sign of fertility of the parent or of the masculinity of the father. They regard sex as a conquest or a sport, and they engage in relationships because they see them as a challenge.
The disadvantage[citation needed] of this love style is the likelihood of infidelity. In its most extreme form, ludic love can become sexual addiction.
Examples of ludus in movies include Dangerous Liaisons and Cruel Intentions."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_styles#Ludus
I don`t agree with the choice of movies though, and certainly not on the addiction-part.

At its best it is a lighthearted "it`s all fun and games" approach to romance.

the German original

"http://lyricstranslate.com
That you are not
What you were once
Since you undressed for me

That you fling everything
Because of one night
And loose everything
It was not meant to be this way

You want me for yourself
And you want me wholly
But on this level
I am not having fun

That does not make me feel satisfied
I only feel at home
Right between two stools

I just want to play
I do not hurt you
I just want to play
I do not hurt you

That you leave somebody because of me
That you cry sometimes
Because it hurts you

That there is someone else from time to time
Who comes into my life here and there

That you fall in love
Because you sleep with me
That it affects you so much
I did not know that

It was never planned that you now feel
Like one of many

That you do not sleep anymore
Because it arouses you when I move
How I move

That you nearly burn under my hand
When I touch you, I did not anticipate that
I stand here, do this and that
Move my hands through the hair and then you already want something

Leave it, I respect
Your feelings too much"

It`s one thing to use calculated points, with a bit of reasoning I get these as sensitive points, but objects whose existence has never been observed and their positions have been "guessed", because astrologers thought: there must be something out there at that point

No.

I`m going to start using them when they are real existing observable objects in the sky; everything else seems arbitrary to me.

However, as I said there are several astrologers who use them, even a whole astrological school build upon them; so it is simply my opinion, that`s all.
