A secretary? Maybe... that way, Clark would be almost certain to have a girlfriend who would look up to him and admire him. He'd be the more intelligent and higher-earning partner in the relationship. He’d like that, she thought. Men preferred women who weren’t a threat to them in any way, in her experience. Someone who’d look up to them and think that they were wonderful...
Although it wasn’t really fair to suggest that Clark liked anything approaching hero-worship, Lois conceded. He did seem to be a pretty down-to-earth, friendly guy. And, apart from that one time when they were undercover, when he really had acted like a macho sexist, she hadn’t seen any signs that Clark Kent regarded women as in any way inferior. He treated everyone he encountered, male or female, with respect.
This is very insightful: Lois always begins to think what "men" do. After that, she usually admits that Clark isn't like "men".
Thinking about what kind of woman Clark is attracted to, Lois is near solving what kind of man Clark is: strong enough not to experience a strong woman like Lois as a threat.
