Man As Used Car
a: Finding a good man ~
b: Buying a Used Car
What: "Finding a good man on line is like shopping for a used car. The problem is that when you are buying a used car you can pay extra for a carfax report to find out the car's history. You cannot do that with a man." And "Checking him out under many different conditions is helpful. You test drive a car on the highway and the side roads to see how it performs. On a sunny day, all may be fine but how does it handle in the rain? Sometimes it rains a lot."

Man As Boob Holder?
a: Finding a good man ~
b: finding a good bra
What: "You try a lot of them on. Some are too big, some are too small. Others don't give you enough support, others just want to squeeze your boobs. Then you find a good one. The fit feels good. There is enough support while still giving you some breathing room." The rest is funny and true.

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
