Learning a foreign language to impress foreign girls....

Well, I suppose I just had to start this thread. I've read about ideas about impressing girls by pretending to be more wealthy than you really are, or about pretending that you are married, and lying about both. Well, just thought I'd throw in yet another idea or gimmick, that I will play around with, which doesn't sound so bad after all.

Learn a foreign language, to have at least a working vocabulary with it, so you can have a basic conversation, and start travelling and hitting on foreign women.

I want to learn French, and have just started learning it, and plan to go to Quebec to talk to women in French. (Fortunately, English is a second dominant language in some parts of Quebec). Travel to a different place to go to a different world, different experience, different people, and different women.

Don't forget to learn how to say "Baby, I'm married and rich, need a sugar daddy?" in French.
Do you really think that lying is going to impress anyone?
You might get a piece of a** for one night and end up paying a lot of money for that date, but long-term...I don't think you can find a decent girl that way.

Learning a foreign language is a good thing though - for you. You can never know enough languages.
Personally, I find foreign people who try to speak my language cute and respectful (because they at least try to explore a different culture).
Good luck with your French!

agree with this. learning a foreign language should be for you first, then most times other benefits seem to follow from it natuarlly anyway cause you're putting yourself out there and experiencing different situations.

good for you. go for it.

I was learning to speak French together with an x-boyfriend so we could travel to France together one day. I later found out he was learning Manderin and even going to classes at a school. It broke my heart, I felt he was seeing an Asian girl or trying to impress one or trying to meet one in class. He kept talking about the teacher and what she would tell him and I even suspected he had a thing for her.

My first response was I no longer wanted for us to learn French. I used the excuse that it would be too hard and time consuming for him to be learning two languages. It was really a test. He easily agreed not to, keep in mind this was an "our thing" activity and had meaning. Things went bad after that until it lead to our splitting up.

I never wanted to hear another French word but now I feel motivated to continuing studying it on my own for personal growth, maybe I'll impress a French man if I go to France by myself.

Here's another idea/gimmick for the Admiral and many other men who agree with these plots - Why don't you rent an expensive sports car? you'll meet a good looking gold digger.

Make sure they have the same car available at the lot every time you want to take her out...better yet you can pretend you have a whole fleet of cars. Then you can tell her the truth, cry on her shoulder one day and get more points.

I'm not sure what type of woman you expect to get if they are ok with these lies once they find out you've been deceiving them, but I truly think it would be a great match up to weed out all you types and the types of women who would be ok with you!

Isn't this the same super-mega-ultra-'christian' religious moralist guy who's preaching honour and the Ten Commandments to everyone else elsewhere?

I resemble that remark!

Although I consider the admiral to be trolling, I will say that learning a few foreign phrases does help break ice with most people.

It takes time, effort, and (some) brains. And the phrases are actually learned, so there's nothing fake about it.

That's absolutely right, there's nothing fake about a sincere: "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?"

My french isn't very good. But if you're asking me....
