Which accent do you like the most/ find the most sexy, and which one grinds on your nerves?
Im in love with both the New York and Boston accents, I could listen to them talk all day!
I find the southern accent both sexy and funny at the same time. I have a friend who lives in Georgia and everytime we talk we just laugh at each other lol. Bless their hearts
My most favourite accent comes from one man, now every Aussie and Kiwi will know this man, he makes ladies go week at the knees and giggle like school girls just by talking. HIs name is Manu feildel and he is a judge on My Kitchen Rules Australia and now MKR New Zealand He is French but has lived in Aussie for a long time so now his accent his mostly French mixed with a bit of Australian. You can hear him here
For some reason I also love a Bahamas/Jamaica/Central American Caribbean one. Ohhhlala
The Boston accent grinds my nerves and I have a terrible time even understanding the Indian accent especially on the telephone. I like the Gaelic accents and a Mexican and Spanish accents.
I pride myself on being from Boston but not having a Boston accent, people mention it to me sometimes when Iām traveling.
Which Gaelic accent are you referring to? The one in Brittany France, Cornwall England, Welsh, North or South Irish country or city, Scottish Irish around North coast of Ireland, Western Isles Scotland, Highlands,or Orkney?
@FrayedBear I like them all at least the ones I have heard.
The strangest that I have ever encountered was a drop dead gorgeous Polish woman who had not only the beautiful body of a petite gymnast but a face to match. The shock came when she spoke perfect English with a voice sounding like a three year old.
. Incidentally for those generalizing about English accents I wish to point out that about 60 years ago accents in England noticeably changed every five miles. I belief this had a very practical basis - that of stranger danger awareness. It was caused by lack of general movement outside of birthplace. Local accents and dialects however began to be eroded with the spread of radio and tv which have resulted in accent homogenization.
Agreed about English accents and there are still significant differences in regional accents and even local variations - in Lancashire, Wigan, Bolton, Bury and Manchester are within 25 miles of each other and have very different accents.
@Uncorrugated thanks for that information. In the old days the horse and cart had a lot to answer for. Perhaps the buses and trains no longer travel between your highlighted E. Lancashire towns? I haven't been back for 30 years.
I've been away since the early 80's, but can still tell which area of Lancashire each dialect comes from. On the odd occasion I go back there is so much traffic I think most people still work and play close to home = my family think I am mad for travelling 10 miles to Work - and that I was completely insane when my commute was 63 miles each way!!!
OK, I don't like french accents, I can just tolerate it in a guy, hate it in women, but for a guy I hate the Irish accent, and yet it is my favorite in women. Go figure.
Don't come to Quebec then.
I love French! and French accents too.
Seems to be a very popular choice!
Oh, Australian accents get me every time. As a New Englander I find our accent annoying and hope mine isn't too terrible.
British, Scottish, and Irish accents come to mind but really, for me, just the sound of a woman's voice that does the trick. Having that smoky quality can really get my attention. Couple that with any accent that I'm not often exposed to and she'll have my attention. From what I've read, men at least consciously prefer a higher pitched voice but I don't find that to be true. Pitch pitch doesn't play into it as much for me but that natural smoky quality...
And this dudes accent is a trip, I see the attraction. Thanks for sharing!
Being English, I'm too prejudiced to say !
lol
I don't like high pitched accents, squeaky accidents and drawls. I don't like opera accents but I'm intrigued when I hear deep voices.
French is sexists for me , Pakistan accents biggest turn off. I'm berry berry , sourry.
I once interviewed a young woman who grew up in Vietnam, then went to Georgia Tech for undergrad and grad school. The combination Vietnamese/Southern accent was the sexiest thing I had ever heard, but she was 100% unqualified for the job. Another guy in my company hired her into a different department. I don't believe he was thinking with the right head when he made that decision.
I love Iranian accents the most I think. The accent that I find most revolting is a Wisconsin accent. Mine is pretty ugly too though. Texas twang here.
@Sacha we are so much alike. I have a thing for accents too.
I think a French accent is the most romantic. A song in French, or a man talking to a woman - so sexy. The Scot's accent is charming as is the Irish - hard to understand at times and funny many times, but charming. The Germanic accent is disgusting - sounds as if the person is cursing! (sorry folks)
