It's very much a metaphorical comment for her; normal men, according to her worldview, obviously check out womans titties every chance they get. She's being incredibly rude and arrogant. "If he's not checking me out, he very obviously has serious mental health problems, or is just straight up not human." The arrogant half is the expectation that even if a normal man had the capability to ignore some other woman's titties, no normal man would ever be able to ignore hers.
She would likely consider gay men to be an aberration too.
I mean, it's not necessarily rude and arrogant. It's often just used to state that something is outside of the societal norm.
Like, I used it on my ex when she told me she didn't like chocolate or bacon.
Telling someone they're an alien for not being interested in you is very definitely rude. Sure, you put effort into your appearance, you have pride in your looks. There's nothing wrong with that. It's when you take that rejection out on someone else that it becomes a problem. Here, it's a mild issue, almost certainly intended to be a fourth wall wink at the readers more than anything else, but at the end of the day, she called clark an alien because he turned her advances down.
It's a common phrase dude... "From another planet" just means weird, she's not actually accusing him of being an alien
"You're weird for not being interested in me" is the same thing, yes.
To be for frank Clarks mannerisms are stronger, and she should’ve been more forward in the sense of asking him out. Rather than trying to pin him into a corner to pick on him. If he had played along towards her desires ahead could easily played various other cards.
