Cupid ... my man ... you've been awesome. Really. The universe owes you huge for keeping love's embers burning so very brightly these past few millennia. But I really think it's time we went in a different direction. This is the 21st century, buddy. Folks have enough on their plates these days without having to worry about wee, practically naked babies (no offense) flying around town shooting pointy arrows into people we're trying to pick up at pilates. You've got to admit ... it's a little creepy.

Then there's the problem of what to do after one of your arrows hits the mark and we're left all google-eyed; hearts dancing above our heads. We are a complicated bunch, li'l guy. We need help navigating the minefield of love, and you just don't seem willing to go the distance.

That is why we here at NYC Social are proud to introduce Cupid 2.0 (patent pending)!

There are a lot of things we get out of being part of NYC Social: a sense of community, something to do after a long day of drudgery, a wee pint of grog with our chums ... but who'd-a-thunk we'd be giving our fair city's denizens advice on how to win over the hearts and minds of prospective new loves. That's right, Cupid, we're making the world a better place to love in ... with a butt-load of dodgeballs!
