My favorite is british, but not like cockney. The classy British lol. Then scottish, irish, welsh, Russian

I frequently talk in an Irish or Russian accent...sometimes without even meaning to. It just starts coming out and I cannae stop

Ha. No one said Texan. Figures

All accents are interesting and gain my attention immediately. I don't have a favorite, but I can say that some are damned difficult to understand.

I think Australian, and then British, followed by Scottish, maybe even Spanish.

I've moved to Manchester. I confess I find the local accent... not attractive. If you've ever watched Shameless or Ideal or heard a member of Oasis speak, you'll get the picture.
Edinburgh Scots is nice. As is Irish, just not Northern Irish. And Bjork's mixture of Icelandic and Cockney is just too cute for words.
And for some reason, Yolandi Visser's staccato obscenity laden high pitched Afrikaans rap just does it for me. Those elements should NOT work, but...
PS I have an Australian accent that had been rounded out by over a decade of living in the UK... drops voice an octave ladies...

Russian, Asian

Well, there's variance in Scottish accents; I find the Edinburgh accent quite attractive, but Glaswegian is borderline horrific. Same with Irish in a way; the Dublin area accent is very easy on the ears. Northern Irish? Not so much?

As far as non-British accents are concerned, I'll tend to go for Dutch and Scandinavian; they speak English really well, and their accent has quite a singsong lilt to it. Extremely pleasant.

I am drawn to a French accent. I think the main reason is that I'm particularly drawn to the time period of the lost generation. But hey, I'd settle for something different such as Australian. My unfortunate "go to" is dark and mysterious and it has caused life complications LOL

My first serious bf in High School was Cuban. Loved his accent.

I picked a guy up a few days ago with an accent so thick it was hard to understand him. I knew it was Scottish but for some reason I said Irish, and he said, "at least you didn't say English!" Ha. He was a character, very talkative, rough and tumble redhead. Took him to a bar from his RV in Corpus Christi for a "wee bit'a fun." lol

I get to hear accents from all over, and different languages, one of the fun parts of my job. A young Brit, Ausie or Scotch gal makes me a little crazy. lol

My favorite accent is South African

I could write a book here from the other side of the fence. I am the one with the accent. I have been working really ( I mean really ) hard to shake it off. My biggest accomplishment is that an aqcuintance thought (when we met) that I was ridiculously being funny by pretending of having been born somewhere else. She really thought I was yanking her chain !!!!! So, yeah I am getting where I want to be and before I die, my goal is that no one will ever ask me again "Where are you from?"....

Scottish for me as well! I’m also a huge fan red hair

Anything strange to this Texas gal?

I’m kinda partial to the SoCal accent.

Welch and Danish and Dutch and Norwegian. Having red hair has only recently been a joy. Love me the dark haired, smoldering dark eyes black Irish, and blondes with ice blue eyes and mahagony brown skinned man from Africa. I knew a man from Gold Coast who had golden eyes. in that dark face. Oh, good grief, don't get me started.

Like, @Knd502, I love all accents. And gingers are super hot!

Was born in Britain and still retain my accent despite 20 years here. I am reminded of a beautiful Irish woman I knew, who could swear and cuss with such eloquence and erudition. It would sound to me like she was reading Ulysses by James Joyce aloud.
Doesn’t this read like a Fish Called Wanda moment
I have always enjoyed Scandinavians speaking English, lived in Sweden for several years.
South African accents can sound very clipped and nice too

South African. Hands down the sexiest male accent on earth. My first love was South African and... yea

och aye,
but for me it is an Irish accent on a girl. That is my number one favourite.

In order: Irish/Nothern Irish, British, Australian, New Zealand, French, South African, Boston, US north east from Maryland to Maine. Chicago.

Spanish

I love the New Zealand accent, there's something very pleasing about the upwards intonation at the end of each sentence that feels reassuring and can be really quite sexy.

An upper class English accent though (I'm thinking Joanna Lumley here) can be very soothing. I could listen to Joanna Lumley read a telephone directory to me and be in heaven (does anyone even remember telephone directories?)

French is the sexiest accent in my opinion but then I have had several French girl friends and my wife is French Canadian. Go with what you love.

I’m a lover of accents in general, but my favorite (I’ll say categories because they’re broad) are sub-Saharan African and Indian, as in the subcontinent.
