It depends what you mean under the notion "clever women" If a clever woman would like a man to love her, he will love her in most cases. Of course if you equate clever and trained or skilled - I think you can be skilled and educated and know a lot, but you at the same time can be socially ignorant and not clever or smart at all. It depends about what you think when say "clever". Personally I don't think that there is any mental difference or difference in cleverness between men and women. Women can be in most cases even much cleverer than men in many issues, especially in those such as household, shopping, negotiation, etc. Men, otherwise, could calculate better or do hard work, where you don't need to be very clever, or just to have some beer (is it too clever?) Not many men would consider if a woman is too clever as far as she allows him to socialize with friends and have his glass of beer. And when a woman gives him some change to pay for that beer, he will be even happy.

Do men love clever women?
If you want to love - just love, just do it. But when we start discussing different things ... the object of our love, etc. it's not a love. Love is not a thing or something specific. I strongly disagree that we can do love. It won't be love, it'll be any thing but not love. But what if a woman is stupid but kind-hearted and with a beautiful soul? If a person has a beautiful soul he or she can't be stupid. I think it's impossible. "...there is any mental difference or difference in cleverness between men and women" -I have the same point of vie w.

Yuri P I am not sure in your definitions.
I am not sure either as I am not a native speaker. I've just done a quick search and it seems there is a difference in the use of "clever" and "smart" between Brits and Americans. However, look at this quote from OALD: People use clever in the phrase : Clever boy/girl! to tell a young child that they have learnt or done something well. When used to or about an adult clever can be disapproving.
So the question is what makes it disapproving and how we can recognize this case.
