I think part of the problem stems from who AlMiles is using as inspiration: Helen of Troy. A character like Helen of Troy works in the context of myth but 21st century drama, not so much.
I remember a while back in Deadwood, Trixie tells Sol that while her situation may be violent and not the greatest, it's familiar and that's what pulls her to it. While I'm not saying Lana's a hooker like Trixie, I do think that she has gotten used to men/boy's desire for her being mixed with a great huge helping of dysfunction. Clark spies on her and lies to her, Lex spies on her, Bugboy spied on her, Van and a freak joke about her having a stalker network. There's violence involved, etc. It's the only real spin I can put on it that makes psychological sense.
