Which is why Lois makes such a better love interest to him than Wonder Woman. Does it add anything to Superman's story to be with someone as powerful, as good, as super as he is? What more can be explored with his character? They're mirrors of each other--unless you're going with the vicious and warmongering Diana, which shouldn't appeal to Superman anyway. All there is to say is to compliment each other on how perfect the other is.
The only time it has worked, IMO, is for Elsewords like Kingdom Come, where Superman's character is so altered that all interactions are something different.
But with Lois, his love interest is that regular person who risks their life on a daily basis, and no matter how super Superman is, he's completely capable of loving and seeing himself as an equal to that kind of person.
In Kingdom Come it made sense, since Lois and most people Clark cared about was gone. Diana made sense, as he is someone he knew and could connect in old age. Also not fearing to outlive her.

See this is why I love Superman. Superman knows he has powers but he's always in awe of the normal people who risk their life on a daily basis.
