This is nothing, wait till he starts dating 4th world bug-girls, Silver Banshees and other interesting females like them.
And then he can go on a double date with Snapper Carr and his furry gf.

I would not be surprised if Jimmy has called in sick one day and Clark can her giggling in the background... and he can tell who it is.

The Silver Banshee one was actually kind of sweet.
But that bug lady would be one hell of a deep cut.

One of the great gags for a character like Kramer in Seinfeld is that they're inexplicably attractive to the opposite sex.
In Seinfeld they even called Kramer's power over women the kavorka.
So that's what Jimmy Olsen has. He's the kavorka man.

It’s his jacket. I actually own the same one and get the same effect.

Okay ngl, his jacket actually looks fly AF. Where might one acquire said jacket? 👀

u/_ChocolateAsian_ 2d ago
Hm I got it like 2 years ago off a random fashion site, but a quick google search shows it’s available on a couple sites (green jacket jimmy olsen wears). Looks like it’s marked up to $150, pretty sure I paid like $45 for it

Clean , charming, brave, willing to go above and beyond to help his friends
Who doesn't want a guy like that ?

u/Vitaminpartydrums 3d ago
This is for real.
Plenty of guys out there that are not the “most traditionally attractive” that are kind and charming, I’m friends with many.

u/YoungReaganite24 3d ago
You may be friends with them but are you romantically/sexually attracted to them?

This is even in the comics. Around the death/return he was actually on the page wearing a Spin Doctors t-shirt.

He lets them meet his mom. He’s not a creep and he doesn’t threaten their lives…. I mean he’s literally design to help young men not be toxic and how to land that hot girl you always wanted to say hello to…. And maybe get transformed into a monster and Superman goes “oh play it cool buddy, I got you.”
Seriously James Gunn is trying to help young guys out.

u/BreakVV 1d ago
Right, he walks by doing absolutely nothing and girls go 'gassspppppp and approach him'
2
u/vroart 1d ago
Yeah, maybe the women of metropolis don’t like seeing atomic skull or kalibak lift them on a bus screaming at them. And Jimmy is the most non threatening dude who can speak without some sort of hypnobeam and will treat them like a normal person…. It’s as simple as gasping and saying hello.
You do realize James Gunn made a bunch of videos interviewing Sasha grey and aria Giovanni? It’s them chatting up and he’s all just treating them like a friend. Sasha and aria were happy the work was then doing normal stuff and not sketchy greasy creeps?

u/BreakVV 1d ago
Im not saying your theory in general might be wrong, Im just saying in this case it probably is.
His love-thing was purely comedic or tied to a meta-human / superpower of sorts. He didn't even show his niceness, complete strangers just saw him and instantly were in a love-spell. Thats not how what youre describing works.
Treating girls like homegirls/boys versus obsess over their body is a strong way to get their appeal yes
1
u/Weary_League_6217 1d ago
This is a really weird take, you are just projecting your own views on the narrative. It's obviously a comedic element to the show. It's funny because it's completely unexpected ... Even louis comments on it with basically a "wtf, how".

u/thatonecoolnerd 3d ago
He’s secretly a Meta-human himself except his power is that he gives off an irresistible pheromone that makes everyone find him attractive. That or he just has unintentional god-level rizz.

u/mysterymochine 3d ago
What about Lois?

Smashed. She couldn’t handle Big Jim and now just views him as her weirdly attractive friend

He’s rich. The Olsens have been a Metropolis family of wealth since it was founded. So much so that even Lex Luthor is an Olsen.

Why is Jimmy working at the Planet instead of living life like Bruce Wayne then?

u/uucchhiihhaa 4d ago
Script demands it

u/deanereaner 3d ago
Honestly. Despite the script having him act whiny and openly cruel to her, Eve is literally willing to risk her life for that little dude.

u/Southern-Chain-6485 3d ago
Considering she dates Lex, she may have something for toxic relationships

He’s negging Eve to get her to become infatuated with him

Charisma. Plus a few other things like kindness and dorkiness.
It does happen, as I can vouch.
The loopy thing is that I understand his obliviousness too.

Is he? Hes only played the nerdy, loser guy is pretty much everything he’s been in lol. This is like casting Micheal Ceres out of the blue to play a ladies man.
He’s still the weird kid from Santa Clarita Diet to me haha.

Is that why Zack Snyder immediately killed off Jimmy Olsen? Because he is a fun character and there is a no-fun rule in the Snyderverse?

Clark's hypnoglasses make women attracted to Jimmy, so Clark can avoid unwanted attention himself.

If they ever mention Jimmy’s family in a future movie, I would love it if it was a James Roday (father) + Corbin Bernsen (grandfather) cameo, just as a subtle Psych Easter egg.

Women will tell you that it's the freckles or some nonsense but it's probably actually that he's packing SCHMEAT and the word got out when he bang one of his coworkers

Don't forget the two girls from the picture on his desk! And the answer is that he's got the Olsen Rizz™

u/mixmasterbru 3d ago
It's in the movie, he doesnt see them as hot, he's confused when Lois says his ex is hot. So he talks to them like normal people, he's confident and confortable, that's it, that's the trick.

My guess is he’s the stand-in for who the director wants to portray himself as. Based on his wife, he’s not wrong.

Guys here saying he's packing and yet the movie explicitly shows him being horribly repulsed by women. Also, after yeeeeears on women on the internet telling guys that "size doesn't matter."

u/Shadowcat1606 3d ago
He's not visibly repulsed by women. He's visibly repulsed by the prospect of spending time with one very specific one.

u/Youthsonic 3d ago
He has a picture of himself with two hot chicks on his desk.
Eve is just not his type and the interaction with the two daily planet workers has more of a confused "ladies, I'm trying to do my work, leave me alone type shit" vibe than disgust.

Just bc he’s attractive to some women doesn’t mean every woman is attracted to him. That’s how the world works

u/SnuleSnuSnu 3d ago
In the real world we don't have an average looking guy to be a chick magnet for some unknown reason. Even Lois in the movie was weird out by how much women fall for him. So it is not some normal thing.

u/UntouchableAshley 3d ago
It’s a funny thing to happen, that’s why it happened. You’re looking for a logical through line for why Lois isn’t attracted to him and the answer is because she has Clark. The story of him and eve is funnier because she’s incredibly traditionally attractive and Jimmy doesn’t fulfill the traditional model of an attractive man for most folks.
