    I'm told that my Wisconsin/Minnesota accent is sexy but I think it's NOT!! LOL! I have actually tried to talk differently, just to sound more "neutral" and it was impossible for me to do. :blushing:

    I find accents either cute or hot depending on the person. I myself have a very thick French accent when I speak English so I hope it's okay for most people ;)

    I bet its super cute.

    I like Southern US accents. For example, my husband is from Texas. Scottish or Irish accents are hot, English accents are not. Spanish accents do not do it for me either. Australian, maybe.

    I love how some people think they don't have an accent.
    Everyone has an accent in the eyes of someone from somewhere else.

    lol, I KNOW that we ALL have accents. :wink:

    Maybe I should have titled it What accents do you find hot. :flowerforyou:

    Southern drawls are the best! :)

    I'm Canadian, and I think our accent would be the most unrecognizable ><

    I'm English and I like Southern Irish accents, and Australian. I think Southern USA ones are nice too.

    Fellow Wisconsinite here. Someone told you it was sexy?! LOL! Sometimes I will sit in a restaurant and really listen to the way the older folks talk...and LAUGH in my head. Sorry, but we sound really funny if you can get outside your head and listen. But if someone thinks it is sexy, YAY US!

    Southern United States and South African. Although the latter may have something to do with Charlize Theron.

    Charlize Theron is too Americanised. She has lost most of her South African accent. Biased as this sounds I do love the range of South Arican accents, including mine. Each language group in the country has its own accent and all sound good in their way. If you really want to hear South African accents, rent a District 9 DVD and I promise you'll be blown away.

    As for foreign accents, I love the northern English and Scottish accents, and although I don't necessarily think it's hot, I quite love the Indian accent. It's quite entertaining to listen to. I think the Irish accent is quite cool. And I love how the Quebecan accent sounds almost French, but not quite French! I also like the southern accent and the African American "hood" accent (not really sure what I can call it). And last but not least, one of my favourite accents has to be the Italian American accent. I just love the way it sounds.

    I'm from New Jersey but have a pretty neutral speech pattern/ accent (for my area) with the exception of a few words here and there. I personally have a LOVE of Irish, Scottish, and certain British accents. I also thoroughly enjoy a sexy country boy with a southern drawl, yes please! :smooched:

    Shouldn't it be about the PERSON and not the accent they grew up to have?
    Doesn't everyone have an accent to someone else?
    Somewhere in NY state, that is the only place that there isn't an "accent" according to how the news media is set up.
    Now, are those that hate accents saying these are the only 'voices' that are ok?

    Nothing like starting off a thread bashing over 50% of the people on her with something that they cannot help without years of lessons and practice.
    My 'accent' is completely muddled. I guess nobody would like me then :(

    I love a girl with a british accent.


    I hate southern drawls, to me it just sounds like somebody who's too lazy to pronounce it right.

    ^ please note I don't mean any offense, it's just not my thing.

    this was not at ALL created to bash ANYONE. As previously stated as a response to another user, I am WELL aware that we ALL have accents and SHOULD have titled this WHAT ACCENT(S) DO YOU FIND HOT? It was created for fun to see others preferences only. Nothing more. Let's not make it something its not. :wink:

    ETA: wouldn't that be 100% of people, not 50%?

    Wow this was created just for fun. Way to create an issue when there was none to be had. So do us all a favor and get over yourself. If you see something you do not like you do not have to reply, leave the rest of us to enjoy the thread in peace.

    Edit: The only bashing done here was by you. If you had read through the posts you would have seen that.
