Do accents make people more attractive?  |
|
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! |

31. Bluepatch (2483) | 1 year ago | Yes, depending on the accent. Some movie stars used to to very well with French accents. Like Robert Goulet with his French and Maurice Chevallier as well. Lots of people pick up accents when they travel. People in Trinidad love to hitch up with an English or American accent. They think it gives them a kind of social status. I believe a soft French accent is good with a woman. Recently the Latin accents are becoming more popular since there are lots more Latinos here in Trinidad now.

32. Piscesmoon (2885) | 1 year ago | I do find an accent very attractive. I love to listen to men with a Scottish or Irish accent as well as French and Spanish. The only accent that I find really offputting is the sort of English accent that David Beckham has.

33. taface412 (1987) | 1 year ago | I have to admit I am a sucker for men with accents. I mainly love the Irish, English, and Italian....and if there is some smoking hot looks accompanying that accent well, he could read to me the dollar menu at Mcds and I probably would have his baby...LOL Just kidding or maybe not. I am sucker for them.
I know I have one, you know some people sy they do not have an accent which I find funny, it is a mixture of southern and northern....Chicago with Kentucky....so i think accents are fun and revealing of where a person has lived who have great stories....
I live in KY now and wish I could meet more of those accents I love, but it is almost impossible. I hear more accents like Larry the Cable Guy kinda stuff. Not my thing there.

34. palonghorn (3741) | 1 year ago | I do think an accent can attract people, but as for a relationship it has to be more than good looks, accent, etc. If they are not a good person on the inside then none of that really matters. By the way, my s/o fell in love with my southern accent lol and once we made plans for me to move to the northeast where he lived.....he told me I better not ever loose it! lol

36. aryajayaprakash (933) | 1 year ago | Accents makes a difference along with looks. not only accents will do. If this world was only an audio world, probably he is true, but for his bad luck this world is visual too.

37. desertdarlene (5847) | 1 year ago | I know for me, I really find that accents are a turn off. I like the good old fashion mid-western or California accent that I grew up with. I can go for someone who is British because part of my family is from there and I'm used to the accent as long as they don't use a lot of slang that I'm unfamiliar with. The same goes for Australia as it seems like I can relate to what they talk about, but if they use a lot of slang, it's a turn off to me. People with some Asian accents are fine as long as their English is near perfect.
I'm not saying that having an accent is bad or makes them a bad person, it's just for a choice in mates, I don't find accents attractive. I know that they can't help having an accent much like I can't help having an accent when I travel to their countries. If a person is really wonderful otherwise, but has an accent, it doesn't mean that I would pass them up necessarily.

Katesmama (3223) | 1 year ago | I am fond of listening to people with accents talk to me, but living in this region for as long as I have, I've lost my taste for the reginal accent I once found charming.

Katesmama (3223) | 1 year ago | I live in the south, but I was born in the mid west, which is known for over doing the vowel sounds a bit. I never heard my own accent til I moved to DC, but there are all sorts of accents there, so you hear your own way more. I've lived here in the south for just over a couple of years, and have adopted a bit of a drawl, but I can turn it off. (A drawl is not for me either, no way.)I just heard my own voice the other day and I realized that I talk baby talk most of the time, but at the time, it was in context. Now, I'm trying to be very mindful of my pronuncingisms.
You know you wanna talk to me Scoops, admit it.
