8 reasons why it will never work between me and Superman
I have several reasons why it will just not work between me and Superman. Even if admittedly, he is gorgeous (the word doesn’t even begin to describe the latest Clark Kent), and he is super charmingly smart and naive at times, and I am awe-struck by his selfless desire to make the world a better place.
Let’s face it. There are just too many challenges to face before we even get anywhere near the altar.
- There will always be a constant argument about quality time spending. I don’t want to end up being the reason why an old lady loses her purse or a bank’s loss of a lot of money all because I asked him to stay with me during grocery shopping and I couldn’t decide which kind of lettuce to buy.
- It will always be between the boys and me. The bad guys will always get his attention and I will always be saying, “But you’re always out with the boys!” Even if they’re just the villains and they do nothing but wreak havoc in the city.
- There will always be a girl swooning over him. Let’s face it. Poison Ivy and Catwoman did not set a good example. And names like La Encantadora and Maxima doesn’t appeal to me either. Oh yeah, I’ve heard of those girls.
- And then there’s the suit. Sure it shows of his sexy body and contours well when he flexes his biceps, but again, refer to reason number 3.
- I am deathly afraid of heights. His ex Lois might have set up the bar too high by being oh-so-graceful ten thousand feet off the ground and I might not be able to do as well.
- He’s come and go. And seriously, that can’t happen during family reunions or birthday gatherings. In-laws can be real nasty.
- His idea of traveling is faster than a speeding bullet and I have trouble enough with heights. I might leave my insides wherever we take off.
- The low profile is killing me. What’s the use of having a superhero as a boyfriend if you can’t flaunt it? Being Clark Kent just isn’t glamorous enough.
So yeah, naturally, I had to end it.

Note: Forgive the author’s current state of euphoria having watched Superman Returns on HBO for the nth time. Brandon Routh’s gorgeousness and the nifty ability of the internet to search for photos just isn’t helping at all.

hey, ris, what brought this on?
but i must agree about the comment on heights. personally, the idea of batman - cool, rich, sophisticated, and somewhat tortured, rich - is a bit more appealing to me. then again, maybe it’s because he doesn’t fly!

i just watched Superman Returns on HBO and I just couldn’t get over Brandon Routh
I really just wrote this without intending any parallelism to real life’s Mr. Right. But come to think of it, may similarities nga to what’s attractive to women. well most of the time.

I was thinking along the same line when I saw the last Superman movie. Especially when I learned that he has a son, but then it didn’t keep him from flying away again. Darn, apparently, even Superman is a commitment phobe.
