I get your point, you can start to lose motivation especially if there is no variety.

I have been learning Spanish for a couple yrs now and I am not at any great level but I change my methods every few months or so or use more than one way at same time.

Learning podcasts 

Learning apps

Tutor/lessons

Music 

Reading short articles

Language exchange meet ups

Skype/what app exchange.

Once I find a nice easy book in Spanish will do that too and in a few months will pay out for a set of home learning courses as so far learning it has been mostly free.

Recently went to Spain and know a fair amount of Spanish but no where near fluent, I encountered an Italian who couldn't speak either Spanish or English so I just spoke Spanish and amazingly managed to communicate with him even though I've never spoken Italian except a few choice swear words I might have learned many moons ago.

Here English is the standard and definetly dominant but if I am around people or friends where their main language is not English I encourage them to use it even if i won't understand all or nothing.

It is good for them to feel comfortable to speak their own language or any other language they choose and good for me to learn.

We'll have a  run in my  City, We will go running in in my City.

The last two phrases are perfectly acceptable. :-)

There are attractive and intelligent woman/ men in the world so it's not really always one or the other.

But if you were only attractive and not intelligent why wouldn't you use it to your advantage in order to have a good life?It's resourceful in its own way even if it's purely based on vanity, it still puts food on the table.

Saying that I wouldn't want to ever be a pretty housewife as I prefer to be independent regardless of my level of intelligence.:-D

But Stromae is cool ;-) I don't even speak a word of french but sing along to him, He has style.
