Example A why argument by analogy is considered a logical fallacy.
And I've always heard the expression "rode hard and put up wet", but never "worn hard". Of course, the former is based on horses, and the latter - shoes?

Are these additional shitty shoe metaphors doing anything for you? Because they suck. All of them. You got her point.

Envisioning Rob taking sweet, gentle, tender, sensitive steps = mass LOLs.

As far as I know, the kids are still virgins, so they're germane here too.

Not really.  The two aforementioned opinions on the subject weren't directly correlating with each other yet both were still relevant enough to be expressed in the same conversation. So the same goes for the analogies.
I saw it more of a "But what if the situation was like this?" rather than a "This is what you really mean because they're both the same." :shrug:
