OP clearly never met a French person. Even if they can speak English, that doesn't mean they will do it just to conviniance a foreigner.
Just cause they know English doesn't mean they want to use it while you're in their country.
Learning a second language is a gateway to living anywhere that's not 
Don't visit France (unless you're a refugee from Burgerland)
I'm a refugee from Burgerland
BTW, do you get that brand of Anglo expat that doesn't learn the language after living their for years and talks to everyone like a kindergartner in English? Or is that just a global south thing?
we get them here in hungary, which is not global south but not western europe either. i've always assumed anglo immigrants are just like this everywhere.
It must be rad to tell everyone in perfect French how absolutely terrible Amerika is. Do the lord's work!

I actually like going to france? I seem to be the only person. I also like speaking the language. It is a fun one, very melodic.
Counterpoints:
1: the instruction manual for my guillotine is in French. How am I supposed to figure out where to put a king's neck and where to place his body if I can't read le manuel d'utilisation??
2: Debout, les damnés de la terre
Debout, les forçats de la faim

Learning a second language is a good thing
French women would have sex with us.
That was a warning to stay away from the language.

and who the fuck wants to talk to an older European.
But only in Russian.
"I want to talk to an older European"
I mean, I'm not even joking when I say this... Well, I don't have plans to learn French necessarily, but one of the big reasons why I want to build my Norwegian skills is for the sake of the older folks who don't speak or aren't comfortable with speaking English. Older folks are by all means a mixed bag — trust me — but I still just like being around and hearing from them generally, and I wish them well, I don't want them to feel lonely or forgotten.
English vocabulary is 50% French so you're basically speaking 50% French anyways owned
Learning French gets you many points towards Canadian permanent residency
Why would I want to be a northern redneck?
For affordability compared to the other provinces, and also better family welfare. Plus, it used to be easier to immigrate to compare to other provinces

Gross.
who the fuck wants to talk to an older European.
Me. I love French daddies.
I swear, the French teachers in school were trying to impart the vibe that if we know the French language, French women would have sex with us.
stop already i can only be so unmotivated

Brother, I had to fucking pantomime to ask an 18 year old french guy where the bathroom is at a bar. You have no idea how bad it can be.
On the converse, most french people give English the linguistic respect it deserves which is just speaking french but making sure one word in three is english in the most rotten pronounciation you've ever heard.
w.r.t. former colonies it is a shame because i got to connect with a lot of arabic comrades once i got even a beginner's grasp of the language, which was easy because i speak another romance language. Yes i know how it sounds "boo hoo, why do i have to step out of my western chauvinistic bubble in order to engage with the arabic world"

Mais ce simplifie l'etude d'espagnole 
Well yeah, but that's not really a bad thing. I think learning a language is good, regardless of whether you actually have a use for it.

Most people who speak French aren't French. The majority of Francophones are in Africa, but there's also millions in the Caribbean and the Levant. I still feel like it's useful for those places
From your lips to god's ear brother 
Welp, I learned French before English and it makes it easier. Also, it helps with Spanish and some degree Russian.
The British, the French and the Germans are the best examples of Euroid Lib smugness. I hate them all
