Do accents make people more attractive?

It's a toss-up between an English and an Irish accent. I think they're both attractive-like a magnet! I have no idea why. The only accent that really turns me off is a hillbilly one--not southern, hillbilly. Hard to explain, and I have no idea why.

The accent attracts me but if he shows that he's not a very nice person it doesn't matter what his attributes are...he's toast in my book.

Yum! Yum! Gimme some!
Love those accents.

Last night, I found a rendition
of Phantom of the Opera song
done by Sarah Brightman
and Antonio Banderas.

That man has a very sultry voice
when he's speaking.

Weird hearing that voice come out
of a cat.

But when he sings, I can still tell
it's him.

I wanted to love it,but I don't.

Oh, hey! Did you check out the bottom
of my profile page.

I put up a Chinese language version
of Phantom of the opera.

It's a very romantic song when done
in Chinese. Sounds extremely exotic.

All the creepy under tones are totally gone.

hi katesmama wow he is really good looking,even me at my elderly age can see that. I would not think he would have any trouble
getting a girl from what I could see. I know a lot of people do become attracted to an accent. I was never particularly attracted to a guy because of his accent or turned off either. I was attracted to my husband because of his sense of humor, and his love of his job, he was an orderly and I was a nurses aide when we met. we were both devoted to helping the sick.I think
an irish accent is the most thrilling to me as I have gr grandparents who came from Kerry Ireland.

I think so. Besides beauty, accents can attract a person without seeing him physically. I would say the americans have good and clear accents compared to the other english speaking country.

Well, let's just say it gives them an edge. Their looks will catch my eye initially, but how they speak will hold my attention longer. And, a foreign (non-USA) accent will attract my attention even before I see them, regardless of their looks. I'm not trying to date or anything, but that doesn't mean I'm dead. I can still enjoy the scenery as much as anyone!

There are some USA regional accents that I find a complete turnoff - the guy can look great, but if what comes out of his mouth fits a few accents I don't particularly like (I won't say which because I don't want to offend anyone unnecessarily), I lose interest almost immediately. That one's hard to explain because we're talking attraction - not friendship. Different levels of communication to me. But, I do think an accent can play a role in attraction. Yet, it isn't the only thing and neither are looks.

I have not faced similar person. may be there are some who have some different accents and it makes them more attracted. I do not find it so personally. may be the man is taking real advantage of it.

Ooooooo I love me some sexy sounding accents!!!

My favorite accents are Australian and Scottish as far as the sexy factor goes. But I love an accent of any type for just general listening pleasure. I enjoy trying to figure out where it comes from.

We are given many gifts in life, its up to us to understand what they are and how we can use them.

Some of us do well at it and others struggle all their life not knowing what gift they have,

That is an interesting question. I don't really think in terms of being attracted to another person any more, as there are more interesting things in my life now, but I remember a time when, yes, some accents were attractive, and some were absolutely not! However, I would not want to hurt anyone's feeling here, so I don't think I'll say which was which.

There are many different kinds of accents though, some are international and others regional. They definitely make conversations interesting. It is said that if one learns another language before the age of 10 they will be able to speak it without what we know as an "accent" but after that it is trickier to get it right. I would think that would vary a bit from one person to another and from one language to another, though.

hmmmmm
u tell me u were talking to him so what were ur views as u r lovely chic too, lol

well accent does matter but not that much, over all personality does matter
