RE: Things men say are country-specific rules that are actually global rules

here is another way to see things :
1. The hottest women don't speak foreign languages as frequently.
that's only true in rich countries, in less rich countries those who speak foreign languages are usually from the upper class and the hottest girls are also from the upper class.

Hot women also like to travel, which means they will probably all have to learn some english at some point.
Is there a "Bro Science" equivalent term for the manosphere?
Can't imagine where this stuff is coming from. And what kind of statement is "with very few exceptions... often have...". Which is it, very few exceptions or often? And girls who speak foreign languages are normally from the upper class?
And hot girls are normally from the upper class?
It's OK not to post if you don't actually have an understanding of the topic. It's probably better, for everyone reading, unless the intent is to mislead. It's also near mandatory here not to post insight about a specific country that you clearly haven't been to.
No, the primary drive of language learning is motivation and use. Not money. I've had girls from poor 3rd word villages faking their age to get on online dating sites and messaging me with intent only to practice English. The most impressive language abilities I've ever witnessed in real life were from women from dirt poor farmer families, massive rates of learning with no classes.
Frankly I'm jealous of how quickly women can learn languages if they're motivated. Women have way higher language learning aptitude than men.
The statement is correct: the hottest women don't speak foreign languages as frequently; and it is universal (not country specific); and it is not something "I want to see" (obviously I'd want the opposite); and it is due to differences in motivation to learn, which is the primary driver of language learning.

It's not correct, it's not universal and it's not even a statement, it's an assumption.
From your English ability, I'm guessing you're one of the hot women  Wanna meet for coffee?
Quote:statement
steɪtm(ə)nt
noun
1.
a definite or clear expression of something in speech or writing.
"do you agree with this statement?"
synonyms: declaration, expression of views/facts, affirmation, assertion, announcement, utterance, communication;
So you might want to remove "English" from your list of languages spoken.
Also to say it was an assumption:
Quote:assumption
əˈsʌm(p)ʃ(ə)n
noun
1.
a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof.
"they made certain assumptions about the market"
synonyms: supposition, presupposition, presumption, premise, belief, expectation, conjecture, speculation, surmise, guess, theory, hypothesis, postulation, conclusion, deduction, inference, thought, suspicion, notion, impression, fancy;
...would imply I'm guessing it to be true, as opposed to speaking from real-world, well-traveled experience. Since I doubt you've even set foot on an airplane, maybe sit this one out, you Super Smart 37 Post Wonder you.
