Do accents make people more attractive? email this discussion to a friend?

I was talking to someone tonight who thinks he'd never meet women based on his looks alone, which I totally disagree with. He says its his accent that pulls the chicks in and he takes full advantage of it. What do you think? Are you more attracted to a person with an accent? Or totally turned off by certain inflections? What is the hottest accent to hear?


I'll take some!

no, for me it doesn't... i never attracted to people because of their looks or physical appearance... i think inner beauty matters more than outer beauty... especially accents... i never care about people's accents... as long as i can understand what they are talking about, i am happy regardless of what accents they have... take care and have a nice day...

My dearly beloved has a very marked accent, so obviously I'm going to say it makes someone more attractive wub Not everyone, obviously, but it's certainly an added bonus. When we first got together, I used to ask him to say my name all the time. He rolls the R in the way a native English speaker doesn't and I still love it.

I can't tell the English accents. But here sometimes we can tell the Chinese accents since we are Chinese. There are many dialects in China. I think it depends where you come from. If your accent is from a rich place, then perhaps it's an advantage. If not, then perhaps people will not be interested in you very much.

For me this really depends on the accent. There are accents that I cannot really understand what the person is saying. Some British accents are okay. Italian is alright. I have such a hard time understanding Japanese, Chinese, Korean and all other Asian accents. Which leads me to ask, for the foreigners out there, do we, Filipinos, have an accent??? Of course for us there isn't any.. but how do we sound to you?

Have you kidnapped Kate? shocked


myLot reputation of 91/100. Katesmama (3222)   ranked 1 out of 245 in katesmama!  1 year ago

Kate is part Filipina, Scoops, didn't you know?

Yes, Jammie, you guys do have accents, LOL. My fella's mom speaks english very well, but there are sounds she cannot make with her mouth that are unique to American English.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Scoop_Dogg (1934)   ranked 33 out of 245 in katesmama!  1 year ago

I know nothing, KM. doh

I thought she was part Native American or something. Now I see them together, it is obvious. They could be sisters! Very pretty girls.

Scoops, you should really be paying more attention to me if you're going to be my resident sycopant. You're the only one I have!

Hi Katesmama! I think I like the Irish accent. It has more character and it sounds poetic in my ears. However, I am not attracted with accents alone, I really go for the character/attitude of a person. Accents are only nice to hear and it is the character of a man that matters the most.
Take care and God bless!


myLot reputation of 91/100. Katesmama (3222)   ranked 1 out of 245 in katesmama!  1 year ago

you are very right, my friend!

Well katesmama, the guy looks good enough not to have to use accent. However, if it is combined with his charms, then all the better. I for one am not impressed with accents, I enjoy a sense of humour more and am more attracted to such people. I enjoy simple plain British english which is not slang and easy to understand.


myLot reputation of 91/100. Katesmama (3222)   ranked 1 out of 245 in katesmama!  1 year ago

I agree!:)

Well, everyone has an accent, though I guess you wouldn't consider people with the same accent as you having an "accent"
I game with australians often, and they often comment on my american accent

I am turned off with someone who have a terrible accent! Others might be attracted to it but I don't. I am not sure if there is a hot accent, but maybe it depends on what country you are in.


myLot reputation of 91/100. Katesmama (3222)   ranked 1 out of 245 in katesmama!  1 year ago

I agree, Pal!:)

I think a persons accent can definitely be attractive. I think it takes more than that to make a person really like them though. I think some of it has to do with looks and personality also.


myLot reputation of 91/100. Katesmama (3222)   ranked 1 out of 245 in katesmama!  1 year ago

You're right, Steph!
