1. She is smart.

She is not genius as Chloe or Batman or Albert Einstein or Babe the Gallant Pig. She is street smart. 

Do you ask why I think so? Well, you can see it outright during her first episode. You remember when she went to visit Lionel Luthor in jail to tell him that Chloe is alive so he could start again his attempts on Chloe's life. You need to be street smart (or mentally challenged) to do that.

2. She is classy.

The outfits she wears to work absolutely suits the purpose for the day. Jeans and shirts on normal occasions, power suits when she wants to have sex with Grant during working hours and outfits stolen from Chloe when she's trying to look serious. 

All of them are seize that would sit her 10 years ago. Before she went through puberty. 

Let's not forget on her hair style. She was inspired by Shelby returning from outside on rainy day.

Her diction stopped developing in third grade. 'That's demented' speaks for itself.

3. She is 'taking care' of other people.

Seriously, she could be killer for-hire. No one can 'take care of people' as she does. Remember how she called her cousin to save her and go for her into a place where are armed guards that already proved that they will kill? Her cousin who never have had any kind of training in fight?

4. She is a career woman.

Her career started already at high school which she left without ending it, moved to the Uni just to be kicked out and for two years did nothing. Later started working for tabloid, until her chest was offered a job at the DP.

She loves her career more than anything. Well, maybe she loves having sex with her boss little more than her career. Even though it's just for rebound, to get over Oliver, so she could easily use some random man she met in bar or random co-worker. She just loves her career so much that she would risk it for sex.

5. She is strong woman.

That's why she cried when AC was leaving Smallville even though she knew him for one day. He was her one true love. As were her soldier, Oliver, Grant and most likely will be Paradoom and Clark next season. 

6. She can take care of herself.

That's why she lived with Kents for a year and was using her father's money. That's why Chloe must help her to get credits she needed to end high school. That's why Lex had to get her back into Uni. That's why Chloe had to give her information on Lex and Jimmy needed to show her all the important things during their investigation.

7. She doesn't need a man.

She didn't cry for days after Oliver left her. Twice. She didn't cry when Grant left her. She doesn't spend her time looking for a man. It was pure accident that she spoke with the woman in Crimson who offered her lipstick that will cause her fall in love with first man she sees. And because Lois doesn't need a man at all, she immediately bought it. 

Even though I can't fathom why would anyone want to fall in love with a first man he/she sees. The person won't fall in love with them and they could be looking at someone who looks like Dick Cheney for all they know. But because Lois is street smart she used it anyway.

8. She is journalist because of her love for truth and justice.

Only when it's related to barn doors, non-existent animals, fight clubs and unfaithful politician. 

When it comes to serious matters she is doing it for personal revenge. Her only serious piece of work that ever got published was written after GA made her angry. Her crusade against Lex is because he caused death of her first twue love.

Her love for justice and truth is also the reason why she is working for Lex at the DP while he won't let her publish anything with true in it.

9. Her father is general.

And probably the only general who has successful career even though his older daughter is college dropout and reporter and his younger daughter is criminal. All other people would be sent to do unimportant deskwork because they would be looked at as potential danger for state. But I guess it didn't happen because Lois is so awesome.

Also it gives Lois ridiculous amount of power over soldiers in situations when she should be put in jail or escorted out regardless who her father is.

10. Lois is charming.

Her chest charmed several people. Other men who don't care think she is idiot. Like Lex, Lionel, Jimmy on occasion and few others.

11. Clark is pining after her.

In that case, I think ILL is Lana Lang.

12. Lex is pining after her.

Again with Lana.

13. Journalism was always her dream job.

Just after barman, waitress, stripper, hooker,...

14. She is role model for girls.

I can't continue writing because I'm of to sleep with my profesor..........
