Hello All,
I was wondering what opinions you all have on what the best language(s) is (are) for meeting women. Did anyone here meet there partner/significant other because they were fluent in a specific language? Or for women, is there a particular foreign language that you prefer to hear? Do foreign women enjoy meeting men who can speak their native language?
Just curious.
Thanks for your opinions,
Panglot

Your own native language. If someone can't spit game
in their own language what make's them think that
they can do it in one that's not their own?

No language. Learn to carry out a good conversation, speak smoothly when needed, be
interesting, make her feel good, etc. I mean, when I met my girlfriend I had done a
few lessons of pimsleur and spoke a few phrases in russian, but it's hardly what got
me going out with her. All that work took place in English.

I think the worst thing you can do is try to impress people with your knowledge of languages. If it's natural, knowing foreign languages is FTW.
That goes for males, females, business and private contacts.

There are lots of suckers for foreigners. Just have to find people who have a thing for the kind of 'foreigner' you are. My french got me some points being in an English environment.
And for the game thing...you don't have to have a game in a second language. People understand your limitations whereas in your first language if your game sucks girls will think you suck as opposed to thinking your language skills suck. Many girls like accents.
