Clark is a man of focus.

His eyes just move so fast she didn’t see him sneak about 50 looks.

He can see them whenever he wants anyway

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.
  
  Depending on the particular cannon, in some of them the supervision is active at all times. That his senses just let him see all the layers and through all the layers.
  So it's not just that he CAN see all of them all the time. He doesn't even have a choice. It would mean nudity to any degree was extremely unremarkable to the man.
  
  Swait superman has xray vision? So he could give someone cancer just by looking at them? "If looks could kill..."

Let's also remember that Clark hangs with Wonder Woman, the Black Canary, Zatana, and others. Justice Leaguer Vixen is a a super model when she's not fighting evil. Cat's not even a bench warmer on that team.
- How could you forget Power Girl?
  According to character writer Jimmy Palmiotti, "Okay. When the character was created, Wally Wood was the artist that drew Power Girl, and he was convinced that the editors were not paying attention to anything he did. So, his inker said "Every issue, I'm going to draw the tits bigger until they notice it. It took about seven or eight issues before anyone was like, "Hey, what's with the tits?" And that's where they stopped. True story."
  
  PG has been retroconned more than most characters, but usually she's a close relative of Supes. I don't think that Big Blue is going to play Sweet Home Alabama no matter how tempting the target.

I still believe he is NOT Superman, why would Superman need glasses? It makes no sense
- This instantly reminded me of Mystery Men. Fantastic movie.
- he needs to blur his vision so he doesn't accidentally remark on something you'd need a microscope to see
- Yeah, it's an interesting theory, but it was debunked decades ago.

I am guessing it’s more her personality that’s unlikable than her boobies? Dunno, never read Superman.

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.

A real super man would have gone somewhere with the "face of fatuousness" set-up.

We do love a man who will just stare a woman in the eyes while talking to her

X-Ray Peripheral Vision. ‘Nuff said.
- It's too late he's seen everything. Yeah. Seen it all.

Is this drawn by the guy who is hated for being crap at drawing comics? Liefield or something? Looks like him with the weird lady's face and ocf the stretched feet.
- no... he is way worse than this. this is just fine
  
  No, "this is fine" was drawn by KC Green.

It actually took me a minute 😅

How did she know Clark’s from a different planet??
- Maybe that's a metaphor for being different, as they say, men is from Mars and they all have similar weaknesses
  
  It’s always hard to depict sarcasm. lol just playing along 😅
- It's very much a metaphorical comment for her; normal men, according to her worldview, obviously check out womans titties every chance they get. She's being incredibly rude and arrogant. "If he's not checking me out, he very obviously has serious mental health problems, or is just straight up not human." The arrogant half is the expectation that even if a normal man had the capability to ignore some other woman's titties, no normal man would ever be able to ignore hers.
  She would likely consider gay men to be an aberration too.
  
  I mean, it's not necessarily rude and arrogant. It's often just used to state that something is outside of the societal norm.
  Like, I used it on my ex when she told me she didn't like chocolate or bacon.
  
  Using words like "Abnormal", "Weird", or "An Aberration" don't really have the same connotations as "From another planet." It's not a negative thing. More often I've seen it used in a positive way, like when someone does something good that most people wouldn't.
  
  To be for frank Clarks mannerisms are stronger, and she should’ve been more forward in the sense of asking him out. Rather than trying to pin him into a corner to pick on him. If he had played along towards her desires ahead could easily played various other cards.

Aha... Cat Grant... LOL.

So this lady thinks that gay and asexual men are from another planet? Rude.
- Or if you're neurodivergent and looking everyone dead in the eyes because you're masking hard at work.

We stay focus 2021.
