    Irish, Scottish, French and southern American - my top 3. Although for some reason southern needs men with deep voices lol :-) The English (especially cockney English) and kiwi accents drive me up the wall!

    Its difficult, cant really put my finger on one. It comes down to a whole multitude of things really. I prefer more well spoken folk, its just easier to understand but then there are some sexy more exotic accents lol.

    I myself have the quintessential English accent, worked wonders when I was in Atlanta for three months last summer haha!

    I am from NC but i've been told over & over that I have more of a Georgia accent. Don't know how that happened! I <3 British, Australian, and cajun accents. I'm not to fond of very strong Boston accents but it doesn't bother me to hear them.

    I love reading the accent of a Russian mail order bride trying to sound like she had a grasp of English. My panties drop every time.

    Perhaps it's time to buy underwear in a smaller size.

    I love southern drawl from a good looking man. Deep voices - think Marvin Gay-are great!

    Australian, hands down. I just spend two weeks traveling around Europe with a bunch of Aussies and I've decided that they're the most amazing people in the world.

    I like most foreign accents because they are novel. I was a military brat and then had a ton of international friends in college, so I'm used to hearing past an accent to what is being said.

    I have a southern accent, but had to spit most of it out when I moved north. People tend to remove IQ points when they hear a southern accent. I have, however, stubbornly kept a few accent-laden words, such as "y'all".

    As an aside, the pits are lucky if they get shaved four times a year. Viva conformity!! :bigsmile:

    I happen to really like a southern accent! Most European accents are my favorite though.
    Myself.... Midwestern with mild southern twist

    I pretty much like any accent. Since I'm in South...that one isn't too impressive to me. I like "Northerners" and the way they say the same thing I do but pronounce it completely different. Folks from Wisconsin make me smile with theirs.

    This thread makes me remember the time my sister and I were on a camping tour in Australia - in our tour group, we had my sister and me from the Boston-ish area, a woman from Australia, A woman from Ireland, a man from Northern Ireland, a woman from England, a man from South Africa, a woman from Canada, and a woman from Switzerland who spoke some English, but mostly French. We had a good many arguments about who was correct when pronouncing words, and which words were just stupid/ wrong usages! We got a lot of mileage out of teasing each other about accents and word usage.

    Aah, memories.

    I think I enjoyed them all equally, although our Australian tour guide seemed to have the best slang vocabulary of the bunch.

    I love Irish, Scottish and British accents. I also like accents of those girls that English is not their native language.

    I'm Cuban and I do have an accent, I don't notice it until I hear myself in a recording, but apparently girls like it... Who am I to argue with them about that lol :bigsmile:

    I find British accents really classy. I agree with YassSpartan, I'm Hispanic & also speak with a Spanish accent. Oftentimes I hear people find it sexy :tongue: :bigsmile:

    A lot of English people speak in a very neutral accent (neither posh nor cockney). I'm guessing you have no idea how many British (particularly English) accents there are. Here's a link I posted earlier in this thread which gives a humorous take on a few (but by no means all) of them:

    I'm from Chicago and chose to go to a college in south-central Indiana. I never noticed I had any sort of accent until I moved here. Now I regularly get made fun of for anything that has an "a" or an "o" in it.

    For example, I might say the word "bomb" and it sounds like "b-ah-mm" and for the next 20 minutes it's discussed how I sound ridiculous.

    I'm a fan of Scottish accents as well as Australian but I don't really have a favorite.
