    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.

    I love European accents.

    I've got a heavy southern country accent that people always notice...even 60 miles from my hometown!!

    What about Canadian? I have heard Australian women find it attractive.

    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.

    Southern Accents; I especially love women's accents from the deep south (GA, Alabama, Carolinas etc).
    English and Australian

    I'm from Texas, and have been told I have more of a 'Dallas' accent, whatever that means..

    LOL Saying "British accent" is kind of like saying "North American accent". It covers soooo much.

    It's kind of funny, you don't think of yourself as having an accent until you're around people with a different one and they point it out. I have a generic, Midwest American accent and where I live in the UK people love it. I've been told so many times that American accents can sound quite grating, but mine is nice to listen to.

    But I've been living here 4.5 years now and a couple people have told me they can hear a touch of a West Country accent trying to sneak in on some words, so maybe I've got a bit of a hybrid thing starting to happen.

    My BF likes to make fun of me when I say "bag". Sometimes it can be heard on about but that's pretty much it. LOL

    My accent is not as heavy (never has been) as some WI/MN accents though.

    Oh no, there are plenty of bad accents! I like South African, Boston, NY, French

    I have a generic mid-atlantic American with a teeeeeensy bit of Southern thrown in.

    Yep, though I don't have a thick Boston accent but it can show up sometimes

    Southern accents and South African accents get me everytime though

    I could listen to someone with an Irish accent read the phone book & be completely enthralled. :love:

    Scottish, English, Australian, & a Southern twang/drawl are some of other favorites.

    Scottish accents are hot. I hear David Tennant speak and I just wanna....well...that's probably not an appropriate topic to discuss. ^.~

    Also, English accents (if I had one I'd never shut up - although, that's not much different than how I am now), Australian and Southern.

    I must be one of the rare ones - accents generally don't do it for me. I think maybe it's because I've had a few of them? (Southern, two kinds of Irish accents, English and now the non-accent (Canadian)).
