So this lady thinks that gay and asexual men are from another planet? Rude.
His eyes just move so fast she didn’t see him sneak about 50 looks.
Rubbernecking champ.
No. This is a a modern work setting, not a 1940’s workplace. Clark isn’t a 20-something intern. As a man in a white-collar job in the US, if you want to have any sort of career, you learn to keep your eyes above the neck. Even if they aren’t looking, there’s always a chance someone else in the office will see your gaze wandering, and you could find yourself in HR talking about sexual harassment.
No doubt there are men who can’t control themselves; no doubt there are still plenty of hostile work environments. But most men, in most corporations learn to be extremely cautious about behavior. When I was a new manager, I was so paranoid about this I’d leave the door ajar when having 1-on-1s with my women employees. That was excessive, but I was new, and at the company I was at we’d had more sexual harassment training than any other single kind, and it new managers got an extra dose. I was terrified of making a mistake. And forget about flirting.
So this one falls flat for me. Clark here isn’t being inhumanly controlled: he’s just being an average guy in a modern corporate environment who wants to keep a clean record and stay out of awkward HR conversations.
It’s good to know that the Man of Steel’s one weakness isn’t boobies
X-ray vision. He can see all the boobies he wants to. I’d imagine that he mostly got it all out of his system as a teen.
Also, it’s not hard to resist a blatant setup like that if you know it’s coming. Clark knows who Cat Grant is.
Swait superman has xray vision? So he could give someone cancer just by looking at them? “If looks could kill…”
I always interpreted it more like he could see in a wide range of the light spectrum and so could just see whatever was already being emitted. Like our eyes but better.
That said, he does have the ability to send out rays from his eyes too so maybe it’s more like radar? Not that it needs to make sense anyways…
