arabic: definately cool, unusual, and would draw attention. it would also be a really good investment into the future, no matter what your field is.
portuguese: sounds beautiful. much more unusual than spanish. can be used to woo the beautiful people of brazil and portugual. capoeira!
german: interesting and intellectually appealing. would probably draw those people who like philosophy, literature and music. i think it'd be harder to use in conversation though; seems more like a reading-a-philosophical-tome type of language
bleh --
italian: way waaaaay overrated. too many people speak it/are learning it. difficult to compete with ACTUAL italian stallions if objective is to chase skirts. boring (imo) culture, mostly of the art history genre (yawn)
french: better than italian. sounds beautiful and is spoken widely (africa, caribbean) but you have to deal with the baggage that comes with french people/hierarchy of french speakers and learners who will judge your accent. johnny depp has lived in france forever and has said he's still embarrassed to speak french in public.
japanese: guys (ESPECIALLY white guys) who are obsessed with japan/japanese girls generally turn out to be weirdos. better to stick with chinese (less fetishy and much more useful) |

| chinese. It might not impress the chicks, but when you're super rich because you are bilingual in english and chinese, then maybe that'll impress them. |

| C++ is good, but Haskell will definitely get you the most chicks. |
