    Agreed. I was watching a video last night and the guys had Australian accents. Totally did it for me. For me though, I love a good southern accent.

    I find it ironic you both like Boston accents. Oftentimes I hear that it makes me sound uneducated, to the point where in important interviews or with people of authority I've learned to control it to an extent.

    I'm from Boston so most of the accents you're mentioning seem normal to me but I do like them. But my favorite accent is Southern, I like a nice Southern drawl as long as it isn't too strong.

    Southern guys must know how to do something right. LOL


    I've actually had people ask me if I am from down south because of various "acts" like removing a hat when coming in doors, saying yes maa'm, and a couple other things.

    I sound like NOTHING. I'm from Michigan.

    hmm I don't know.. Some of the accents from my home home state, Louisiana, are not very attractive in my opinion. I've worked very hard to NOT sound like that. Still have some work to do.

    Being from the upper mid-west I don't think I've ever heard anyone say a Northern Wisconsin or Northern Minnesota accent are attractive or desirable. haha! I sometime cringe when I hear people from my area say certain words and phrases. I really dig southern accents...especially around Louisiana... it's just so different from what I'm used to hearing.
