MARKETWATCH – July 31 – 72% of Americans find people who speak multiple languages more attractive than those who speak just one, according to a study from dating app Happn and language-learning app Duolingo. Only 25% of Americans speak a language other than English, according to a 2013 survey from YouGov. In comparison, more than half of people in the European Union speak more than one language, and 38% speak English. 64% of Americans would date someone who does not speak their language at all. This was especially true for men, with 71% saying they would date someone who doesn't speak English. "A stranger who speaks a different language is exciting and exotic, and something that a lot of people are willing to overlook if the other person is hot", said Eric Resnick, the online dating coach behind ProfileHelper.com.
