Which Language Should I Learn?

Hello folks.
I've been thinking about learning a new language for a few reasons. One, it would be bad ass to be bilingual. Two, supposedly learning a new language gives you a new perspective, and three, I want to (relates to number one.)
I don't know which language I should learn, though. I want to learn a language that's considered graceful and beautiful, so romance languages come to mind. I'm heavily leaning towards italian, because I think it sounds awesome. Also, if I was successful with Italian, it should be fairly easy to learn another romance language.
I don't want to learn Chinese or Spanish.
What do you guys think?

KLINGON!!!!
Or Japanese/German, they both flow very well as languages.
Although, anything you say in German will inevitably sound extremely angry....

Though luck ending up disliking your native language.

Haha. Well, that I can agree with.
I can't stand British people trying to speak Swedish. It sounds dreadful.
Also, back to thread topic.
Russian: Because it sounds badass.

I agree, I bet you can't. I started taking lessons, ITS THE MOST AWESOME LANGUAGE EVER BUT HARD AS HELL!!
EDIT: You also need to learn a language according to your goals, if you want to use that language for getting more job oportunities, I recommend french, spanish or German. If you want to be cool, learn finish. Italian and portuguese sound cool, and are good for getting job oportunities. Japanese is a good choice as well, if you have the time to learn it. If you are planning to start your own shop or that kind of business and you are planning to import cheap stuff, learn chinese.
Again, this is just an opinion, the most important thing is you learn a language, no matter which
Edit: (this is pretty irrelevant but, did you actually notice my avatar's pink beard? )

^ In that context, Renegayed_Turner, if you want to sound badass, learn Russian.
cachiporrin, I did notice some red lining along the side of his face, but it didn't occur to me that it was a pink beard. I think it lacks some vertical volume, stretching below his chin. At the time it looks like something similiar to pink whiskers.

oh ok, it was my first try anyway. Besides, it's a rabbit, he has no beard, he has whiskers.
And you are right, russian is badass, I can understand it and speak a bit, reading like....almost nothing and no writing at all
