Most attractive accents?

Postby New England and The Maritimes » Tue Oct 25, 2011 1:05 pm

I was thinking about this from conversations in other threads on attractiveness, and decided I'd give it a whirl as its own thread. What accent(s) do you find most attractive? I might make a poll later.

Personally, I think Deutsch and Nordic accents are wonderful, while Kansai-ben just has something alluring to it when spoken by a woman. Not sure why, exactly, but they get to me.

So, how about you?

French accents do it for me. I strangely like when someone from South Africa speaks as well.

Irish. Why else have so many actors fake it in advertisements?

Scots. Love that burr.

Spanish has a manly nuance, not so great for female speakers imho.

Jamaican, it's easy to relate to.

Some seem ok but too much into their own cultural context to finally be engaging, such as Norwegian, Swedish and Russian.

I am annoyed by the sound of speakers from Singapore and Pakistan since I hear them on my phone all the time, representing outsourced call center work from the US.

I'm aware, and Scotland's the same way. As I didn't specify which Scottish and English accents, assume I mean most I've encountered. :p

Yeah, though I'm not sure on the variations of Irish and Welsh accents.

I know you have different Scottish accents.

I come from England, I've lived in Spain and I currently live in Switzerland. French is current boyfriend (met in England) and my ex (English but bilingual), Spanish was in Spain (dur) and Polish and German were guys I met on holiday in Germany (on two separate occasions, I hasten to add!).
