Attractive Accents?

[Lyric]

Am I the only one who nearly melts into a puddle of panting goo over certain regional/national accents? For example--British. I find almost all varieties of British accents to be maddeningly sexy. I have a friend from Staffordshire who just slays me when he talks, as well as an ex-boyfriend from Swansea, Wales whose accent was like a spoken...well, you know. :D Both of them loved to hear my "Southern" American accent as well, which I found amusing--a lot of people here consider Southern accents to be "low-class".

Which accents do *you* find attractive?

[Squatch]

1. I'm particularly fond of Egerlaenderisch

[Sanity Claws]

2. French

Yes, I know this sounds so stereotypical but French accents are very sexy.
I share your attraction to British accents but not all of them. Do you remember an old English actor named David Nivens? He's not much to look at but I always loved voice and accent.

[Lyric]

10. Hmmm--David Nivens sounds familiar.

*checks Wikipedia*

Oohhh! The James Bond fellow? I remember him now. :)

[BarenakedLady]

3. Yes

British, Irish, Scottish, French, ehhhh pretty much anything over there.

One word is all it takes. *swoon*

[Lyric]

13. I soooo agree with you there. *dreamy sigh*

I really want to live in the UK someday--preferably in Wales near the England border. I've heard the River Wye is lovely. :)

4. A Russian accent is guaranteed to puddle me instantly. nt

[Phillycat]

5. Boston, New York, Philly.

Especially Boston. Which makes me feel disloyal, because I'm from Philly. But it is so damn sexy!

6. Australian and British women

wow, they both can make me do anything if they ask. I love those accents. I even met a German girl who was able to use the gutteral grunts to sound hot when she spoke broken english.

[LaraMN]

7. Just about any of them.

I'm a sucker for an accent!

8. Ladies with Irish and Scottish accents turn me on

although not a harsh Scottish accent. From around Edinburgh is good.

Yes, North American accents are sexy too. All depending on the lady, natch.

[BarenakedLady]

27. *sprays throat*

Sorry couldn't resist. :rofl:

[billyskank]

29. ..

:*

[Guava Jelly]

9. English accents do it for me

I have naughty nanny fantasy's :7

[itsmesgd]

11. Speaking for most of the guys here....

We don't care how you speak, we are just glad that you are talking with us as long as you don't say "no".

[ceile]

12. Irish

I'm a total sucker for an Irish accent.
And Serbian/Croatian accent is pretty hot too.

[Karenca]

14. British and French. nt

[Haole Girl]

15. I love all accents

My current favorite is Aussie. I don't really know why,
but I think it has something to do with our helicopter
pilots (pic below) when we visited Australia last year. :blush:

[Lyric]

18. I admit, I am unfairly biased against Aussie accents.

They remind me too much of my evil ex, who currently lives there.

[Haole Girl]

22. Sorry

:hug:

[NewWaveChick1981]

16. English, Irish, Scots, German, French...

Come to think of it, the only accents I find unattractive are hicky/redneck Southern American accents. :P

[billyskank]

23. *sprays throat*

;)

[AlCzervik]

17. British and Boston

the Boston accent i hear is mine or my husbands but the second i hear one even from a distance i know i must know that person or someone they know.

[CTyankee]

19. The accent of a liberal Texan, a real one like Molly Ivins and

Ann Richards. And especially Bill Moyers, who has a softer, North Texas accent. I grew up in Dallas and had a softer accent, like my mother, before I came north and lost it.

[Ariana Celeste]

20. German and Russian

:loveya:

I had a b/f for a short while in Jr. High whose family moved here frm Russia, he was embarrassed by his name and accent but I looooved it.

[Lyric]

21. I went to school with a boy from Russia, too.

He had a beautiful name and a gorgeous accent.

He changed his use-name to "Alex", though. "Sasha" didn't go over well with the testosterone-riddled teen boys in our school.

[Ariana Celeste]

25. Yeah, kids are mean.

The guy I dated went from Igor to Gary.

[itsmesgd]

28. I think I knew the same guy

was this in Georgia in 1992?

[Lyric]

32. Nope, Virginia in 1996.

You had me excited there for a minute, thinking you might have been some old school friend I didn't know was here. :)

[itsmesgd]

34. I guess the Sasha to Alex change is a popular one for Russian guys

[itsmesgd]

31. I think I knew the same guy

was this in Georgia in 1992?

[Reverend_Smitty]

24. any accent from the British Isles...

English, Irish, Scottish, etc... are soooooo sexy! I want to marry one and live in a castle :P

[Lyric]

30. Me too! Preferably a haunted castle

with lots of old tapestries, and maybe a dragon in the dungeon.

[Reverend_Smitty]

33. ohhh sounds like fun

I'm still waiting for my Prince Charming to ride up on his steed and sweep me off my feet

[Lyric]

35. Well, I found my Gallant Princess, but we're still looking for a Prince.

We're unconventional like that ;)

Seriously, though--I just want to live in a drafty, damp old castle or manor house with kilometres of gardens and a river running near, so I can write and paint the rest of my life away. :)

26. Portuguese accents.

Like Spanish, but... subtler.
*sighhhhhhhh*
